Hainan Travel Notes: The quiet village at the foot of the volcano has the nostalgia you want

Starting from Xuwen, it is very simple to take a ferry to Hainan Island. We took a boat across the sea at Hai'an New Port in Hai'an Town. We drove the "Xiaowo" directly to the port to buy tickets for small cars. The car 375 yuan, driver and passenger 41.5 yuan each, children are free of charge!

The ferry is very big. The height of the warehouse on the ground floor is about 5 meters. The large trucks and buses that cross the sea are parked here. Because our "small snail" is relatively tall, it cannot enter the cabin of the car on the second floor, so we have to huddle in a pile. Despite his big body, he looks very petite.

When we arrived in Haikou, my childhood friend received us. We not only ate seafood, but also the famous Xiangou beef.

There are many kinds of seafood in Haikou. Compared with the seafood prices in Zhanjiang, the price here is obviously much higher. It is an international tourist island, which is understandable.

People in Xinjiang often say, "Eating meat without drinking alcohol is equivalent to feeding the dogs." So despite the warm welcome, I drank all the white wine, red wine, and foreign wine. I was drunk for two days, and I didn't even write about my travels. renew.

Brother Chen and his younger daughter met for the second time. There was no feeling of confusion at all, and they quickly started playing happily together.

The two families spent a leisurely day in Baishamen Park in Haikou. Not only does it have a huge lawn, but it also has many recreational facilities, making it very suitable for playing with children.

There is an RV campground nearby. It is very large and the fees are relatively affordable. It only costs 80 yuan on weekdays and 120 yuan on holidays such as Chinese New Year.

On Monday, the little sister is going to kindergarten, and we say goodbye to our little one and continue our journey.

Park the car in a small village at the foot of the volcano. The old houses here are very distinctive. Most of them are built with volcanic stones sourced from the local area. Under the loose and hollow appearance, they have good structural strength.

The little lizard photographed on the roof is not afraid of people at all.

This is a typical Hainan small village. Because it is adjacent to the scenic spot, it appears to be very prosperous. Many farmers have built three or four-story small foreign-style buildings.

In the e-commerce center in the village, there are some local products on display, mainly dendrobium leaves, volcanic sugar beetles, moringa seeds, grapefruit oil and other agricultural products. The characteristics do not seem to be distinctive, and there are no special deep-processed products. The tourism service industry may be the pillar industry of this village.

There are many theater stages and basketball courts, which shows that the cultural life here is also very rich.

In the cultural room at the entrance of the village, there were young people playing billiards, as well as many middle-aged and elderly people watching anti-war dramas. There are more villagers chatting at the door of the house, with a strong rural color.

The ancestral hall in the village enshrines heroic spirits such as King Banshuai, King Lingshan, Sanwu Meixian and Master Changhua, which is also one of the characteristics of Hainan.

Here we also saw a popular Shigandang. The so-called Shigandang is a small stone monument built outside Chinese old houses or at the entrance of streets and alleys. The stone gandang here stands in the streets and alleys. It is said that it has the function of "keeping peace and driving away evil spirits".

There is a provincial-level cultural protection unit in this village, which is this inconspicuous volcanic rock watchtower. It is said that the villagers once fought bravely against the Japanese invaders here. During the Liberation War, soldiers of the Qiongya Column also blew the horn here to call on the people of Hainan to join the revolution.

It is completely different from the crater in Tengchong, Yunnan. The interior of the crater here is full of lush trees, while the crater in Tengchong is much monotonous.
