RV China border tour day161-163: Smooth sailing across Qionghai, beautiful scenery and seafood while meeting friends

Last time it was mentioned: The mainland and Antarctica are about to cross the sea...

When I woke up in the morning, the rain had stopped. There was a gas station opposite the parking lot. I wanted to add some water to the RV, but the water flow was too small, so I gave up and prepared to leave Hai'an Port and take the ferry to Haikou.

The parking place last night was next to a reservoir. The scenery was beautiful and clean.

I met a car friend parked here by chance.

There are two ports for Xuwen to take a ferry to Hainan - Hai'an Port and Hai'an New Port. The latter can also be used for ferry trains and has a large passenger flow. To purchase tickets, you need to make a reservation in the article "Hai'an Port" and fill in the departure date, specific time, personnel and vehicle information etc. Gas tanks in RVs cannot be taken on ferries. Diesel vehicles staying in Hainan Island need to pay a diesel surcharge based on tonnage every day. For RVs, it is 22 yuan/day. When leaving the island, it will be paid separately at the port.

We took the bus from Hai'an Port to Haikou New Harbor, which is also a new pier. It was almost evening when we arrived. We have been craving for several days and went to eat roast duck tonight.

Roast duck restaurant in Wanda Plaza

If you buy a coconut, the taste is average and not as good as the one imported from Thailand.

This roast duck restaurant tastes good

It was already very late after eating. There are good parking spots along Haikou Binhai Avenue. I parked my car, filled it with water, took a hot bath and got ready to rest. A friend is coming to Hainan for a business trip tomorrow and we will meet up tomorrow. Good night...

When I woke up in the morning, I washed a few clothes and prepared to go to the largest farmer's market in Haikou to buy some seafood to entertain friends.

The scenery at the parking lot last night was amazing!

Hehehe also likes the sea very much

We don’t have time to appreciate it any more, so we set off to the Dongmen Market, the largest farmer’s seafood market in Haikou, located in the Qilou Old Street.

Hainanese people also eat everything.

I bought some big crabs, conches, etc. and went back to start cooking.

I have to say that the sea view in Hainan is really beautiful and clean.

During this period, I met local friends who came over for fishing.

After dinner, drink some tea, reminisce and chat, this is how life should be, but Chinese people are under too much pressure.

After seeing off Brother Chao, we continued to drink tea. During this period, several passers-by, A, B, B, D, also came over to drink tea and chat together.

My favorite for dinner - Yao Chicken

Continue to park here at night...

I woke up in the morning and planned to go to Hainan Antique City and Hainan Provincial Museum today. I like history more, and museums are the most appropriate and accurate place to measure the level of civilization in a city.

Hainan Antique City

There's a lot of stuff inside, so don't buy it if you're not an expert.

Every time you go to a place, you must go to a local museum. The Hainan Provincial Museum should be regarded as the largest, best and most user-friendly one.

After coming out of the museum, we went to RT-Mart across the street to purchase supplies and found an RV campground. We parked the car at the campground tonight to replenish water and electricity.
