The journey of poor and lower-middle peasants to the sea and coconut breeze—D5: Xiaqiao Town—Haikou City

It was windy and a bit cold this morning, but luckily it was a smooth journey. I rode about 30 kilometers to Beigang and boarded a ferry to Haikou Nangang. The distance between the two ports was about 20 nautical miles and the sailing time was 90 minutes.

When the ship docked and was about to be released, the crew member pointed at the bicycle with a walkie-talkie and said to me, "Aren't you asking for trouble by riding this in such a cold weather?" I am speechless. Smile. In fact, I still don’t understand to this day why I ride a bike and why I ride a long distance?

Get off the boat and arrive at Haikou. It was windy and cold. Warm up after eating.

When I was wondering whether to live in a standard room or a six-person room, my friend called me and said that there was a suitable house and asked if I could live in it. After riding another 9 kilometers, we checked in. Old friends meet each other, ask questions, and share their interesting stories and experiences, before, during, and after meals.
