[Travel Notes]——Beihai-Weizhou Island Travel Notes

Get together in the name of graduation trip

"For me, the greatest luck in college may be meeting four completely different roommates who are all interesting and kind."

"The sadness of graduation is that once we separate and rush into the crowd, it is difficult for us to imagine at what intersection of time and space we can meet again."

"No matter the future glory or poverty, no matter the future health or pain, no matter the future happiness or loneliness, the three of us enjoyed a worry-free time together in a strange city in February 2021."

North Sea scenery

In Beihai, I stayed very comfortable.

Friendship

The three of us have been waiting for the sunset together for a long time.

But compared to the scenery, I prefer Beihai’s cheap seafood and delicious sugar water; I like three people riding a battery car and blowing the strong wind; I like three people watching "Hello, Li Huanying" in Wanda together in silence. cry.

Like to make someone scream loudly while riding a motorboat

I like Cao’s scared expression when he walks into the aquarium

I like that kind of worry-free time where I can temporarily empty myself

By the way, the three of us happened to see the terrifying scene of a manta ray swallowing a small yellow fish in the aquarium.

Mediocre and delicious seafood

Pippi Shrimp Abalone and Shrimp Balls

There is an ice room coconut smoothie

Weizhou Island scenery

On Weizhou Island, I was actually surrounded by the sea once.

Swipe left and right to see the sea

On Weizhou Island, I saw whales.

Where a flock of seabirds stops and hovers,

That's where the whales are.

If you follow the seabirds with your eyes and count three seconds in your mind, you may see the shiny black fins emerging from the water in the next moment, or a huge mouth with wavy lines, or the entire whale. Smooth back. Just when you were annoyed that you didn't see this beautiful elf in the first place, amidst everyone's exclamations, you realized that you had missed the appearance of another beautiful elf.

In the vast and bottomless ocean, does the whale's life consist of dancing with the sea water? When he poked his head out, had he ever thought about why the sky was blue far above? I saw him, did he see me? Was he disgusted with the boat under my feet and its roar and exhaust? I had so many questions, but I was selfishly immersed in the joy of seeing him, and I was just impressed by the beauty of him and the sea.

Travel Thoughts-Tourism in Weizhou Island

“When a place is completely dependent on tourism, and visitors feel cheated and unworthy at every turn, it’s hard to imagine where the place will go in the future.”

Weizhou Island does have the characteristics that an island should have - sea breeze, beaches, shells, and sea views, but it seems to be just that. What can be seen on this island should also be seen on other islands.

Prices here are a bit higher than those in Beihai; the only way to travel is to rent battery cars from islanders and local B&B owners (many of whom are outsiders). Each car costs 60 yuan a day; there is no unified standard pricing for various marine entertainment projects. Raised arbitrarily by the operator. The names of various attractions and the disappointment after seeing the actual scenery always make people laugh. The most incomprehensible thing is that there is a very serious fraud in the seafood market here.

We had the experience of going out to sea with the islanders. We imagined that it would be a short-term practice to become a fisherman. However, the two shrimps and a small fish we caught truly showed me the lack of fishery resources here. I asked the boat The local uncle asked:

"Were you like this when you were a kid? There weren't any fish?"

"That's not true. There were a lot of fish when I was a kid."

So, where did the fish go? Are you also scared away by the strong commercial atmosphere here?
