Hainan Hike
May 22, Guangzhou - Haikou: land of the cold air over the peninsula in the Leizhou turned a bend, skirted the MSC port to begin its downward slide. Clear sky, such as washing, overlooking the wing under the Qiongzhou Strait blue sea, a sea-crossing ferry pulled thin white tail, are heading in the direction of navigation in Hainan.
Na Tiaochuan looked at, I am reminded of the end of 1987, the same passenger sitting in the MSC, the first to Hainan interview scenarios. Hainanjiansheng a time when the eve of one million people south, Hoi overcrowding, I goes on tickets is to pay more money to one of the five sink with drag Skateboard yellow cowboy before get hands. In early 1992, Hainan Zaixian boom, I once again crossed the sea from the MSC to Hainan interview, this time in our cars is a long time in the row of the team until the night fell, and finally "know what to do," Sierra Leone, 30 yuan, " tea money "to guard the bow of the brawny, was able to open on board. In my life, right cunning MSC people have a strange aversion, while Hainan Island has always had a longing for a better, all due to these two crossing experience.
Aircraft would soon swept the Qiongzhou Straits, a few minutes later landed at Haikou Meilan Airport. From the airport into the urban area, vehicles not much in the city landscape and the nine years ago, my second time on the island compared to changes in sensation is not large, no added little busy. Check-city four-star hotel of international finance, 780 yuan to 180 yuan Standard room bargaining demonstration of "51" after the holiday, with the arrival of the hot summer months, visitors are not from the local hotel industry had been "fade birds come" . In the 18th floor of the room looking out the window With surrounding blocks of high-rise buildings went so far as all these unfinished basket case. When the afternoon cruise around in Haikou, such uncompleted flats are everywhere, cause for regret. My first two came to Hainan in the winter, he sensed the wave of a Unit. In this hot summer, my first impression is: "Hainan hot" finally cold.
Dinner at noon on a large gear, eating something called "blood snails" and shellfish, but scalded with boiling water a bit on the table, cut open the inside there is a beach after the bloody, bite in the mouth feeling is born. Shops introduced something called the "Hainan Viagra", there is some kind of effect, everyone else thought this phrase "poor health" in doggerel years, can not help but smile happily.
More than an hour to spend the afternoon tour of the five Ancestral Hall and Wanlv Yuan. The former is to commemorate the five famous people in ancient times was banished Hainan built, the landscape in general, I am not interested in history, feeling that the names of five people are unfamiliar with a nor remember. The latter is a few years ago built a reclamation green square foot have more than two Foshan Hua Yuan season ten times, the park, many of the central leadership and foreign friends have planted a tree, there are inscriptions as evidence. Stand Wanlv Yuan, the foot green grass, watching the blue sky and white clouds, palm-law to enjoy the ocean breezes, very relaxed and happy. Unfortunately, the edge of beautiful high-rise blocks of appearance, you look closely, went so far as they are all one with the shell, is really too unpleasant.
May 23 Haikou - Danzhou: Antiaris left Danzhou in the way, we give a lift first went to sea to visit the tropical oceans of the world. It is built on Qiongzhou Strait of an artificial beach attractions, ticket prices do not Fei. The Pearl River Delta has seen a lot of artificial attractions, the look here, I feel there is little feature. It is only shaped like a fish, Millennium Tower, and some creativity. Artificial lake is the ordinary cotton raising carp, rather than tropical fish, dolphins, among the arena still under construction. May is the hottest season in Hainan, walking on the road, sweat pour off her, I ran thousands of miles above the tourist tower gallery to sigh air-conditioning, drinking ice water, a ride not want to go, wasted a lot of time.
Highway vehicles onto the western island of Hainan, the crowd were feeling as if something is wrong, fascinating stats, before suddenly realize that this highway entrance is actually not set up checkpoints. Used to walk a few steps necessary before the Pearl River Delta toll on Hainan Island, vehicles, and even greater ease. On the highway like thinking about his next on the next, do not pay a penny. The No. 90 gasoline, and 3.4 yuan 1 liter, but due to less Luqiao Fei, or to motorists in terms of cost-effective. However, the Hainan Expressway, in particular the western front, traffic could have been better, many local subsidence, car dealers on it, up and down, feeling like a boat. Haikou Evening News, said the driver, Hainan people have called the corrupt way highway, built not long after we should rework. Sure enough, the whole road in many places are unilateral passage, on the other side in the refurbishment.
And the eastern front is different from Hainan Xi less along the line to see the Coconut Grove, hillsides planted to rubber trees mostly.
Danzhou in the past called dan County, Hainan's largest and most populous a city. I have the impression Danzhou along at the end of 1987 that met in Haikou, a fellow lecturer at the university to do, he told me that he went many places in Hainan, in the end Danzhou County, found a host. Unexpectedly, 14 years later, when I came to Danzhou, there also appear to be so remote, desolate and backward. The Pearl River Delta town of less than a big city, old buildings, few cars were rare, would not see a factory. I think my hometown who did come here, if true, then surely gone, a lot of the year full of enthusiasm from people crossing the sea, are almost gone. Hainan for many people, is a shattered dream.
Check-the suburbs of southeast Asia Spa Resort, Snow is a big resort, it seems that this line we have a few guests. Before dinner, the local counterparts to take us to visit the vicinity of 30 to a foot-meter-high tree, the tree name "Antiaris." According to the tree before the brand was introduced, this tree alias curare wood, after the famous botanist Professor Zhong Yi and other identification, is the world's largest ever found in a Antiaris trees, trees near the millennium. The tree drip are highly toxic, humans and animals of the wounds after a hit, toxicity immediately attack, so that the body paralysis, respiratory arrest, poisoning to death. Said, when the people of Hainan to fight, put the sap of this tree painted arrows on the bravely fighting the enemy. Today, the tree has spent weeks surrounded by columns pole to prevent people from accidentally touching poisoning.
Hot spring night in Southeast Asia. Their local counterparts, said the hot springs found by UNESCO, is the world's best hot springs containing radon, there is the human body was very useful.
May 24 Danzhou - Sanya: wild west early in the morning, Danzhou to pull our peers that is to eat a "bubble eggs." In the spring outlet, replace a basket of fresh eggs immersed in more than 90 degrees Celsius in spring, soak for 10 minutes, Serve "bubble eggs." In the "bubble egg" on knocking a hole, the semi-solidified egg white suction mouth, and indeed delicious. The middle of the egg yolk, it turns out just cooked. Around the spring, planting a lot of jackfruit, great fruit hanging in trees. In the dawn breeze among the hot springs to sit next to the woods below, listening to birds vitis, while taking a "bubble egg", are also considered refined.
Dan is known throughout the state, in its territory the famous "tropical houses", namely China and South China Tropical Agricultural Sciences University of Tropical Agriculture, built in 1958, today's hospital names and school names are Jiang Zemin's inscription. Chinese research scientists, almost all the tropical plants from "two", where there are two academicians. In my opinion, to the Danzhou tourists frequented Dongpo College may not see, is not frequented by tourists, "houses" of the South China Tropical Botanical Garden do not have to be.
Tropical Botanical Garden where wooded feel very cool. Alleged that the temperature of the park than the park, at least more than twice lower. A number of valuable trees from the building's homes have begun to grow, so far already have 40 years of age, very tall. Among them, eat it and eat what is the mysterious fruit will be sour, but also that we have seen yesterday Antiaris tree, there are large number of butterflies fluttering butterflies during a tree, and many names of plants we could not utter it. The forest from time to time to smell the aroma of a wide variety of flowers, I do not know where Piaodang come.
In the botanical garden, we understand that sandalwood tree is always called Yang Jinfeng of trees associated with, the Botany Village called "Ban Su Health" phenomenon, civil society are called "husband and wife tree", Tan Pilgrimage as "husband", Yang Jinfeng as "wives." Alleged sandalwood growth process, it is necessary from the ocean where the roots absorb nutrients Jinfeng. If you dig up the edge of the ocean Jinfeng, sandalwood would be dead. In turn, dig sandalwood, Yang Jinfeng is still able to survive. Locals joked that sandalwood as Hainan men, lazy, do nothing, would not be able to leave the woman alive. The Yang Jinfeng like a woman in Hainan, with Xin Ru bitter, hard working, feeding the men.
Out the Botanical Garden before the line, dense forests, there is a dotted with blocks of white buildings, and that is the famous "houses" of. I remember when, in this drought far from the ancient land of exile, there is then a group of people, from all directions from the motherland, in this wasteland of school, hard can imagine, the reigning awe-inspiring.
After lunch, drive back on the western highway, south along the west coast of Hainan Island, Sanya straight away. Few cars on the road, and sometimes more than 10 minutes are touched, a. Densely along the way is also very rare, almost no large villages, feeling quite desolate. Windows on the left, has been rolling mountains, clouds and wind around on it. The right side is planted with rubber, sisal, bananas, plain or small hills, a pristine blue skies. All the way southbound, crossed the river several good, clear all of the water flow out from the left side of the mountains, but also all the flow on the right side of the sea.
When the highway side of the coconut trees began to be filed when the village has gradually increased recently, indicating that we had reached the island to the south. Prior to entering the Sanya, parking to visit the Nanshan scenic area, is to build a display of Buddhist culture in the seaside attractions, which greatly for the Buddha will be done, we sat in a circle on the battery cars and switch out. For people who do not understand the Buddhist teachings, the tour's boring, and not add detail.
Night stay at great eastern coast of South China's Grand Hotel, prices folded. At sea swim, started going to the beach that is 45 lady came up asking whether or not to accompany swimming. Until we had a tour to an hour to leave, still see that lady on the beach a few wandering, unable to find the "buyer", it seems WEN tough enough to eat.
May 25 Sanya - Bandung: taken in the morning their counterparts from the Sanya Morning News led to the famous ends of the earth. Compared to the previous two years, in addition to the entrance of the green and building a few more, the rest remains the same, or that several stones. To spend 120 yuan per person to go by speedboat ride across the West Island, "submarine" to see the underwater world, to discover fooled, the original so-called "submarines", but in general the bottom of the water under the cabin opened the windows so that you can see the bottom. However, this West Island is not from time to mention, when Jiang Qing, an island photographed woman militia, is in this island. Still remember the great leader of the female militia goes on blowing conch pictures poems written by Mody? Casually on to recite out: "valiant heroic Five Foot gun, according to the drill ground in early dawn. Qizhi more than the sons and daughters, do not love red makeup loves armed" ... ...
Female descendants of the island that year the militia who is now not stand sentry, and conch are no longer used to assault the horn sounded. West Island fishermen and their children, scattered in every corner of the beach ends of the earth, 4 to the guests sell conch shells, shells, sea stones like flowers and fake pearl souvenirs. When his comrades found two days ago in Haikou tropical oceans of the world spend 10 yuan to buy into a shell necklace, the island may be descendants of female militia, 10 of money to sell you five, they all can not help but loudly regretted.
The afternoon of being called the best in the world Bay, Yalong Bay, the sea blue like a fake, the beach is also beautiful, the sun can be sinister, no one would dare challenge of ultraviolet radiation into the water. Then it delves into Luhuitou, overlooking the scenery of Sanya, rough look really beautiful, careful look at the four high-rise buildings are a basket case, and a blocks of abandoned seaside villas, intuition Unfortunately, I do not know how many yuan to remain in Hainan, so the water has. Finally counterparts introduced by the Sanya Morning News, rented two did not hang a taxi cab licenses, along the Eastern Freeway to the 100 km outside the city of Wanning Xinglong Hot Springs. This is Hainan You must visit several places, well known, commonplace, and not to say any more. Bandung's hotel is a taxi driver introduced, saying that the number of off beat, but he may be fooled, that's both dark skin, his face pretending to be honest relative to the driver without food kickbacks strange.
May 26 Bandung - Haikou: Being a monkey is also difficult to get up early, went to bubble for a return to hot springs, go to Nanwanhoudao This Sheung. They pass through the Southeast Asian ethnic customs Bandung Park, think of another man-made attractions, but you play these allow you to marry a wife like the Li girls get money to do the trick, also get married without going. Nanwanhoudao in Lingshui, this place not long ago due to the collision incident is known around the world. The edge of passing vehicles from the air base, much is expected to see the base of the door. We would like to see that U.S. planes, taxi drivers can get into this absolutely.
Originally thought that Monkey Island is a relatively quiet and primitive island, can there be monkeys to survive. Unexpectedly, the so-called Monkey Island, semi-non-one island, but only blocks the peninsula, and on the edge of a busy fishing port town. Take the ropeway, after a fishing port over a few minutes after arrival of the Monkey Island Park. About rope, I would see the trees around the road, there are four monkeys walk, or beg for food to visitors, the original sense of the eyes of the mysterious Monkey Island suddenly compromised. Mid-level view of the monkey was built two kiosks, but think of mountain monkeys have been enough, no need to read up the mountain, everyone also stop and instead went to the arena to see a monkey show. Venue slippery after the rain, foot Gao Qiao and cyclists of the monkeys fell to the ground from time to time, attracting visitors to laughter, and training division whipping. Monkey Monkey Island, the original wild, and now also appears to depend on tourism for their livelihood had. For the sake of three meals a day, in order to work for his boss, do have difficulty, the monkey.
From Monkey Island and went to Boao. This is the tongue-twisting place names, a year of people who come to Hainan to play, they do not now hold the forum because of the fame soared and became popular attractions. Boao originally a coastal town in Qionghai City, located in the sea at Wanquanhe. One side is the vast sea, the shore side is Wanquan coconut clusters of more than protoka, an exercise in a feng shui treasure land. Boao Forum for Asia held Shuicheng, is actually a conference-style resort, there is a large, beautiful hotel and conference center peculiar shape, as well as luxury riverside villa. And Hainan, said a number of real estate projects, this place is also necessary to almost die, and sometimes enjoy elegant aid, led to the Asian Forum, square back from the dead. Just that the whole of Hainan's economic development, but also how can I have this lucky it.
Sing that song "Wanquanhe clear-qing" do? Su clear from the Boao Wanquan-on, through the coconut plantations, to the Da Qionghai near the urban areas is a scenic Wanquanhe. Here is famous because the Red Detachment of Women, that song "to move forward, to move forward ... ..." was on everyone to sing. Just that today's Wanquan side, on the edge of Red Detachment of Women of the sculptures, their future generations, even without any knowledge to the visitors to the sale of Huangdie shame, if known revolutionary predecessors, non-vomiting blood is not. The one who looks like Wu Qionghua, pretty girl dressed in national costumes, places the price of each five-to accompany pictures of the guests. At the roadside stalls, the partner bought a weight of 25 kg of jackfruit, a few hours later to the sea, on the plane when a package weighing only 18 pounds, shrinking too severe.
Tickets that night to fly back to Guangzhou, all the way to find a regular point is always that there were no bookings, and finally rented by our taxi driver sitting in Sanya, Haikou Piaofan through their understanding of set up. Piaofan riding a motorcycle to reach another location, ticket transaction completed on the edge of the road. Ticket is Liu Zhe, but we need to pay 40 yuan for each charge. Piaofan side asked what the commission wants to open invoices, while a thick one from the bag and pulled out a pile of all kinds of invoices to, I will get over turned a bit, enough to have 20 copies or more.
Looking back nine years ago and 14 the year before the two experiences in Hainan, Little did he expect in the 21st century, and in Hainan doing, but also, as before, often underground channels, the channel is more smooth than on the ground. This is Hainan, one days high and the emperor far away.
