On the second night, the place where I stayed was called Dingdang Town. This inn is located on the east side of Naozhou Island, facing the sea. You can watch the sunrise in the room by opening the curtains. I live in a duplex room on the second floor. The first floor is the living room and bathroom. The stairs to the second floor are In a high-ceiling bedroom, openable curtains are used to separate the line of sight. When the curtains are opened, you can watch the sunrise right in the room.
I went to the reception desk to look at the overall plan of the inn and found that the full name of the inn is: Zhanjiang Dingdang Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Research Base. This is actually a supporting facility for a research base. The building we live in is called the professor building. The construction of the expert building and exchange student building that have not been built yet has not started due to the epidemic. There is a vegetable patch at the entrance of the professor building, and a breeding pond is planned between the professor building and the restaurant. At present, the cement pond and pipelines have been built. There is also a restaurant and conference room planned on the right hand side of the entrance, which has also been temporarily suspended due to the epidemic.
This inn opened on May 1st. All the room equipment is very new and well planned. The rooms on the first floor have a small courtyard and a small table for drinking tea. The rooms on the second floor have a small balcony to dry clothes and a huge The bay window .
The sea facing Dingdang Town is a tidal flat, not a beach. To swim, you have to drive to another beach, or there is a swimming pool in the inn where you can swim. There is also a transparent boat and paddle in the swimming pool, which can be rowed in. There is a barbecue grill next to the swimming pool, where you can barbecue.
However, this is not the point. These things have no appeal to me. What I like most is the beach at the entrance of the inn facing the sea. It is much better than ordinary beaches. It was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the light was in the right direction. I saw the bluest water, and the tide had receded a little. There were crabs and small animals everywhere among the rocks, on the beach, and on the beach. Living shells and shrimps were washed up by the waves. The beautiful shells and corals that came up, etc., are simply not too rich. I went to the beach to play and picked up a lot of shells. A family of three came here. The father and his son were catching crabs and had a great time.
There are many black rocks on the beach, which are the remnants of volcanic eruptions, because there are many circular depressions of different sizes on the rocks, and the shapes are very regular, as if they were artificially carved. I remember an episode of "National Geographic of China" "As mentioned in ", this is a very common volcanic relic in the Xuwen area of Zhanjiang. After the seawater recedes, there are still seawater and sand flows inside, and occasionally small creatures swim in it.
At about five o'clock in the evening, my friend came over and took us swimming. The name of the beach is unclear. It is located next to Turtle City and is an almost perfect beach.
The black volcanic sand is as delicate as walking on mud, and it sloshes like jelly and can squeeze out water; the beach is gentle, and the sea water will not reach your neck after walking 50 meters; the sea water is crystal clear. At the bottom, if you wear swimming goggles, you can see the wave-like texture of the beach under the water. It is very beautiful and is a very good bathing beach.
The wind and waves were a bit strong that day, so the sea water was a bit turbid, and the visual distance was not very large, so I couldn't see the small fish in the clear water. My daughter swam for a while and found it not too interesting, so she returned to the beach and started digging holes to dig out shells to catch crabs.
This beach is really beautiful. If there was no time limit, I could play here the whole evening.
Back in town, I found two Brazilian tortoises at my friend's house. They were about the size of an A4 paper. They had been her pets for more than 20 years. The little tortoises ate shrimps three times a day. They were so complete that they made everyone envious. turtle. While feeding it, my daughter sighed that the turtle raised by the fisherman on the seaside was indeed happy.
Dinner was at "Daily Food", and it was still a seafood feast. The special one worth mentioning was the pan-fried white pomfret, which was very delicious. Even though I am already tired of seafood, I still like this fried fish very much. Also, the fish soup is very delicious.
After dinner, my daughter's regular repertoire is still fried ice cream, and she also ate Red bean flavored bowl-shaped cake bought on the roadside.
After dinner, our friends took us back to the inn, and I asked them for a small motorcycle for me to ride. This is a very important decision. With this small motorcycle, I spent the next two days extremely happy.
On the third day on the island, my daughter couldn't get up from bed. After breakfast alone, I wore a bamboo hat and an empty mineral water bottle and went to the beach in front of the inn to pick up shells. There were small Dongfeng snails and a I don’t know what kind of shells they are called, but they are all very beautiful.
Not long after, a local man came to fish with a fishing net on his back. I was immediately attracted to him and watched him pull the net with him. He repeatedly emphasized that you should stay on the shore and do not follow me into the water. I said of course, I was so precious about my life, how could I run into the water during such a big wave.
The elder brother arranged the fishing net, walked deeper into the water, used a big stone to fix the net on a large reef that was half submerged in the water, and then swam in the water while stepping on the reef and walked farther away, setting up the net as he walked. . After setting up the net, he went to a shallower place to pat the water and shout, trying to drive the fish to the position of his fishing net and catch the fish. Ten minutes later, he started to close the net, but he didn't catch much, only a small coral fish with yellow and black stripes. He told me that maybe the wind and waves were a bit strong, so the fish didn't dare to come out. While he was arranging the fishing net and taking out the fish, he chatted with me and said that this type of fish is very delicious. He heard that my daughter would come down to play later, so he said that he would leave this small fish for my daughter to play with. I said no, I'll just take a picture. We couldn't feed it or cook it when we took it back, so we didn't want it.
I found a barely complete disposable plastic bowl on the beach, filled it with sea water, and put the small fish in it to keep temporarily. A phone call came at this time. When I turned around to answer the phone, the elder brother packed up his fishing net and went to another distant reef, leaving the plastic bowl filled with small fish on the beach. I later found another larger container on the beach nearby: it should be a spherical buoy used by fishermen. It was broken into half by the waves and cracked, but it was enough to hold this small fish. So I changed the container and carried the small fish in the direction where the big brother put the net.
At this time, my daughter also came out after breakfast, released the crab she caught the day before, and then stared at the little fish that had just come to life with me. At first, it looked like this little fish was about to die. However, after being raised in seawater for a while, and as the waves continued to come up, fresh seawater continued to replace the seawater in the cracked plastic bowl. This little fish slowly recovered. Slowly becoming more and more energetic.
About ten minutes later, the elder brother collected the second net and returned to where we were waiting for him. He held another small fish with blue and black stripes in his hand. He said that it was also for my daughter to play with, and this one was relatively lively. look. Indeed, this one was more energetic, so I took a photo of it as a souvenir. Then he returned the two small fishes to the big brother. After all, he had worked hard all morning. Even if there were only two small fishes, it would be better than returning empty-handed, right? I have received far more happiness than I expected, and my daughter has passed the stage of wanting things when she sees them. She is very happy when she sees the small fish.
The elder brother asked me which hotel I was staying in. I told him it was in Dingdang Town. He pointed in the direction where he had just fished and said there was another hotel over there. The room was very expensive, costing more than a thousand a night. So I was very worried. curious.
You can see on the map that there is an inn at that location: May Coast B&B . I took my daughter on a scooter and rode there.
The first phase of this industrial-style B&B has been completed, but the second phase has not yet started. All the walls of the B&B are painted white, there is an infinity swimming pool, and dining tables with branches as ceilings. There are several buildings, and each building has different rooms and kitchens. It is very suitable for a group of young people to come here for vacation, cook or cook by themselves. Have a barbecue or have a party.
Because the rooms were full, the owner of the B&B told us not to go into the room and disturb the guests. We only looked at the scenery from the outside. It is indeed a very good B&B. All the facilities for taking pictures are very good. It should be very good. You will soon become an internet celebrity.
At around ten o'clock, my friend took another group of her friends to drive us to pick dragon fruits. I refused to take a car and insisted on driving a small motorcycle. I followed their car through the small roads on the island for about 20 minutes, and finally arrived at the destination in the northwest of the island.
This pitaya field is managed very professionally, with piped water supply and light bulbs. The pitaya seedlings are growing very well, with many flower buds. It seems very likely that they will bloom that night, and there are many fruits. My daughter and I picked one, tore open the skin and ate it. It was a bit sour. It is said that it takes 3-4 days for newly picked dragon fruits to become sweet again.
After walking around, my friend found a papaya tree with abundant fruits nearby, so the owner of the orchard came over and climbed up the tree, picked all the papayas he could pick, and gave them to each family. There was a ripe, yellow papaya that had been eaten by birds, so they left it on the tree and let the birds continue to eat it.
I saw egrets flying in the woods in the distance. The environment was really nice.
I borrowed a friend’s photo of seeing dragon fruit flowers at night: Dragon fruit flowers are huge white flowers like epiphyllums. They are so beautiful, but I didn’t even look at them. I will definitely make up for it next time~~
After leaving the dragon fruit field, I separated from my friend’s car and took my daughter to continue riding around the island on a scooter. On the way, we saw a road sign pointing to the Seaview Fisherman’s Club, so the two of us followed the sign and headed there.
We passed by a canteen, so we heard that one person bought a popsicle. The popsicle actually had red beans in it. It was probably a cousin of the original popsicle, but it tasted pretty good.
We were eating popsicles under the banyan tree on the roadside and saw a big rooster that looked very beautiful, so we zoomed in on the phone and took many photos.
On the way to this fisherman's house with a sea view, I saw some people beating gongs and drums, carrying a sedan, and setting off firecrackers. I thought it was a wedding celebration, but later I saw that they were carrying land or a statue of Mazu, and I realized This should be a ceremony like going to the sea to offer sacrifices.
