The previous year's travel notes were "Still Hainan" and last year's travel notes were "Seeing Hainan Again". I hope that primary school will be stationed in Guangzhou and junior high school will be stationed in Hainan. Xiaoyu, who is about to enter high school, can move to a different place for vacation next time. Otherwise, I really can't think of the title of the travel notes. In Xinglong, Brother Chen asked Xiaoyu: "What's 18° north latitude?" This can be a title!

The place passed by 18° north latitude is suitable for vacations. It is inevitable that Hainan, located between 18-19° north latitude, will become the favorite of Xiaoyu and Brother Chen.

DAY-1, Changsha, Hunan-Hezhou, Guangxi Accommodation: Hezhou Dongrong Villa

For the nine-day holiday, adults worked overtime and children rushed for homework. Finally, they set off at 9 p.m. on Friday to open up a place for Xiaoyu to sleep in the service area.

This child asked if he would be regarded as a trafficked child. Well, it was very possible.

Luo, who planned to divide the journey into three five-hour periods, lost the first battle. He stayed until after 4 a.m. before arriving at Dongrong Villa in Hezhou Garden Expo Park in Guangxi. Some time ago, he received former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and entered the hotel. The lobby is like walking on a red carpet.

Hezhou is located in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and is building a hometown of longevity. It may be the second Bama. The mascot of the Garden Expo Park is Qi Dabao, which is based on the bronze wine vessel Qilin Zun unearthed in Hezhou. The Qi Dabao sold in the hotel also wears national costumes and is quite cute.

I got up until eleven o'clock, sat in the cool lobby and looked at the Garden Expo Park, which was turned white by the sun. After all, Changsha was more exciting and comparable to Africa than basking in the sun.

In addition to its good environment, this hotel also has another special feature. Check-in after midnight is actually considered the same day check-in. That is, after checking in at midnight, you can sleep for another night. No hotel is so polite! When I checked out, the front desk repeatedly confirmed with me,"No longer staying?" Yes. I can't stay anymore. I have to hurry to eat.

I found a pigeon shop online, and the taste was so good that it made up for the shortcoming of poor air conditioning. A pot of pigeon soup, a medicinal herb that issued a really fragrant warning, contains delicate pigeon meat and powdered chestnuts. Why is the beef in the beef pot rice so tender? It takes two bowls to be suitable for Xiaoyu, who personally shovels the rice crust. While shouting for heat, she served the soup. She was sweating profusely and beamed from the meal.

I was too full to eat, so I saw that the buffalo milk store on the roadside did not stop. I bought a bottle at the Wuzhou service area where turtle jelly was sold and checked in. Anyway, there was always Baffy cheese at home. Logistics is too developed and it is not good, and even the interest in shopping and eating has diminished.

DAY-2, Hezhou, Guangxi-Zhanjiang, Guangdong Accommodation: Hampton Inn Zhanjiang

Zhanjiang is the ancestral home of Da Xiaochen. After the opening of the high-speed railway, Zhanjiang, whose house price has risen to more than 10,000, is still under construction. I found a Hilton Happy Friends in the development zone, put down my luggage, and rushed to the roasted oysters that I was thinking about. I have to say that Zhanjiang's raw oysters are really good and cheap. The small shop opposite the hotel costs 30 yuan a dozen, but Xu Wen's roadside stall only costs 1 yuan each. I just hate my stomach is not big enough.

The freshest oysters should be roasted whole, and don't put any minced garlic or anything. Remember to open them with the concave shell down so that the fresh juice inside will not escape. Make a mental tonic. I watch Brother Chen drink it, and all your own will flow into the fresh picture on your hands.

There is also a pot of seafood porridge with sufficient ingredients and fresh taste. Use shrimp seeds to make seafood porridge. Don't lose the shrimp heads. Wash them. Put them in the oil pan to burst out the shrimp oil. Only by cooking it with the porridge can you ensure the greatest umami. What's better is, there are horseshoes, horseshoes, and they are crispy, and the finishing touch!

Zhanjiang pure traditional Chinese medicine version is clear and cool, lily, adenophora root, polygonatum, coix seed, lotus seed.

DAY-3, Zhanjiang, Guangdong-Xuwen Qujie-Haikou-Wanning Xinglong Accommodation: Xinglong by Hilton Doubletree

I used to be very angry with Xiao Chen for sleeping until eleven o'clock every day when he went out to travel. Now, with my unremitting efforts... I'm finally used to it!

I checked out on time at twelve o'clock. I should have gone directly to Xuwen New Harbor to cross the sea, but my old habit of checking in was so bad that I couldn't stop me. I just wanted to go to Xuwen Music Circles to see the "Sea of Pineapples". Brother Chen tactfully told me that the cross-sea ferry runs every two hours and asked me if it was the pineapple season. None of this could stop me from moving forward. Xuwen was so big that I wanted to go to Jiaowei Township, the southernmost part of the motherland, to have a look.

I navigated all the way to Qujie. If April comes, there is a white windmill in the distance, and under the windmill is a picture of pineapple leaves of varying shades and red soil. The picture should be beautiful even if I don't wear a silk scarf... Haha! Because it's August now and there are no pineapples, my family has another slogan,"I just want to go to the sea of pineapples!!!" Please match it with my resolute expression and Chen Mingjing's speechless helplessness.

Whoever wants to go to the Sea of Pineapples in April, I can lead the way!

After perfectly missing the five-o'clock cross-harbour ferry, the cross-harbour ticket surprised me. Is this violence!

The next time we crossed the sea let me know. We have to believe that the price department is fair. It takes two hours to sail at sea, which is simply collapsing. Why does it take so long? Isn't it already dark when we reach Haikou? Isn't it a matter of ten minutes? Why didn't you tell me earlier...

"Crossing the sea, Qiongzhou Strait, it's not crossing the Xiangjiang River. You can see the other side of the river from one side of the river, but the sea cannot be seen, right!"

Hmph! I came out to travel thousands of miles because I didn't learn geography well!

Come, come, there are still some happy things. This is the first time for the whole family to take a cross-sea ferry, and Brother Chen is driving on the cross-sea ferry for the first time. Let's take a photo.

From Zhanjiang New Port to Haikou New Port.

The return journey is from Xiuying Port in Haikou to Zhanjiang Old Port.

Shortly after our return journey, all ferries were suspended due to a typhoon, so it is always right for friends with self-driving plans to pay attention to the ferry public account first. Flight time, online ticket purchase, and suspension notices are all available.

Arrive at Xinglong Doubletree by Hilton Lakeside Hotel at night. The hotel is 1.5 kilometers away from the road. It is quiet and suitable for vacations. The hotel uses hardware facilities to make up for the lack of sea views. The building has a sense of design. The open-plan hotel lobby is opposite Xinhu Lake and distant mountains. From a distance, it has the artistic conception of Guilin's mountains and rivers. The translucent swimming pool is also a highlight. The interior decoration is comfortable and modern, the service is good, and the hygiene looks good.(After seeing the room attendant cleaning the toilet trash cans with bare hands and replenishing bath supplies at the Wyndham Hotel in Xiamen, I had given up using medical standards to observe the hotel's hygiene, and decided to selectively blind the hotel's cleaning process while working hard to make myself lose my memory).

More than ten years ago, when group tourism was at its peak, Xinglong was a must-see place for tourists in Hainan. Hot springs, Tropical Botanical Garden, and Overseas Chinese Style Garden were full of tourists. I took a fish treatment in the hotel for the first time, and I took a photo with jackfruit in the Botanical Garden for the first time. I heard a CD of a Vietnamese singer at the ticket office of Overseas Chinese Style Garden, which made me realize that music can make people so calm. There are also the super cost-effective jackfruit when eating barbecue at a roadside stall eight years ago, and the online comment about Xinglong Coffee before departure, which made me come to Xinglong again with memories and expectations.

Xinglong Town without tourists is very quiet and looks no different from an ordinary town. The deserted and old hot spring hotels in the town are witnesses of its former prosperity. Opposite the hotel is Xinglong's earliest Taiyanghe Coffee Factory. I ordered a freshly ground cup of unforgettable and ancient village, and then delivered a box of coffee as a companion gift.

The food in the restaurant has no color, aroma, and no choice but to buy a coconut to replenish the water. The owner packed the inexhaustible coconut milk and coconut meat in bags and could easily bring them back to the hotel. This is a good knife for gouging out coconut meat.

Xinglong's Xiaoguan Street is the world of northeastern kebabs, so we can only do as the Romans do.

Day-4, Wanning Xinglong Accommodation: DoubleTree by Hilton Xinglong

DAY-5, Wanning Xinglong-Sanya Accommodation: Mandarin Oriental Hotel

Troubled by Xinglong food, we decided to go to Sanya for food. We didn't stay in Luhuitou because we wanted to find a hotel that was close enough to eat and not drive. The sentence in the Mandarin Hotel's comment area,"The hotel comes out to a summer square" made me lose my temper. It was really a square when it came out, but why didn't you say there was still such a long way to go before it came out? Can I strangle you?

Opposite Summer Square, through the military region and along the coastline, you will reach Mandarin Oriental.

View in front of the lobby.

Once you put down your luggage, you should go out to eat first.

The food of Yuliuliu is still very delicious, and there is also this wooden handle flower bowl. Uh, before I went home, I bought the same one from a certain treasure.

Go back to your room to rest after dinner and make coffee or tea.

As usual, it is still day and night. Mandarin Oriental has been in operation for ten years and has been maintained quite well. The layout of the park does not give people an outdated feeling. Except for the poor drainage in the shower room, which makes people a little depressed. Fortunately, the service staff are sincere and will book a hotel in the future, and the opening year should be the focus.

Sanya is cooler in the morning than Changsha, lying down and waiting for Xiao Chen to get up for breakfast.

Wanghao Supermarket walked up, delivered Chunguang specialties, and bought some snacks. We actually bought dried licorice and mango that we had eaten when we were children. It was the kind that even the bones could be chewed for a long time. After lunch, it was so smooth. Sure enough, I became familiar with it naturally.

I found a watermelon I had never eaten before. The skin was very thin. I pinched it open with my finger, but I didn't need to eat the skin.

In Hainan, the most comfortable thing is definitely to find a hotel and stay in it all the time, sleep until you wake up naturally every day, look at the sea from the balcony, and feel in a daze. There are also many such hotels in Hainan, especially the Fenjiezhou Sea Fishing Club, which backs mountains and faces the sea and has a wide view. However, for hotel owners, they always want to stay in hotels with different styles in Hainan in a limited time, so they set off for Haitang Bay again.

DAY-6, Sanya-Haitang Bay Accommodation: Intercontinental Haitang Bay Hotel

The architectural style of the entire hotel in Haitang Bay is very much in line with my liking. Unfortunately, there are no good sea view rooms. Driving to the end of the road, Intercontinental Hotel encountered a free upgrade of room types for the first time. It was upgraded from a luxurious sea view to a sea view suite. It was in Southeast Asian style, and the balcony The bathtub was facing the sea. The excited little rain finished her summer homework on the dining table. Brother Chen basically moved between the balcony sofa, the living room sofa and the bedroom sofa.

Apart from being expensive and high in calories, tropical fruits have nothing wrong with them. In 2001, we went on a group tour and the tour guide took us to buy fruits halfway through. After buying them, the boss politely gave me a piece of jackfruit. When I took the car, Comrade Long Mei threatened me to throw me everything and people into the car. Time passed quickly, but I couldn't change my mind. The white one is cocoa, with a taste and taste similar to jujube grains.

The room is well equipped with a capsule coffee maker.

Good morning, Haitang Bay!

Resorts along Haitang Bay basically have a neat lawn. Families with children can let their children play happily between the grass and the seaside, as do our children.

The underwater restaurant needs to book a location in advance. If you book late, the view is not good. There is a discount for guests. The underwater tunnel is not open at noon, and the price is relatively low. The photo taken by Brother Chen from above the restaurant should be because the light is too strong at noon. You can't see clearly, but this underwater feels like a huge artificial fish tank!

DAY-7, Haitang Bay-Zhanjiang Accommodation: Happy Friends by Hilton

On the bus from Sanya to Xinglong that year, I saw the sea outside the window and asked Brother Chen what was beyond the sea. At that time, I had the idea of driving Hainan by myself. Now the car drives along the coastline and sees the endless sea. You will feel relaxed. The sea has this magical power.

After passing through Fenjie Island and Xinglong, I have never been to Xiangshui Bay, Shenzhou Peninsula, and Sansha yet, so I will definitely come again.

After crossing the sea, I found that the gas stations along the road were lined up, and some of them did not sell oil. I really didn't notice how high the oil price in Hainan was. After having dinner at a small shop along the national highway, I passed by Xuwen County and saw many shops selling raw oysters, which were cheaper than Zhanjiang. I regretted having dinner early. In order to make up for it, after arriving at the hotel, we started to eat late at the old place and continued to roast raw oysters.

After breakfast, at the Xiashan Seafood Market, Zhanjiang produces oysters and mackerel fish. The fresh ones are not easy to bring. You can still purchase dry goods, such as scallops, prawns, sand worms, mackerel fish, shredded squid, small abalone, and I love the dried salted fish in the salted fish and eggplant pot. I am very happy to buy. The fried shrimp cakes at the entrance of the market, haha, are not as delicious as those from my hometown.

Day-8, Zhanjiang-Guangzhou Accommodation: Quanji Guangzhou East Station Branch

In the past, when I went to Guangzhou, I would go straight to Changlong. The road conditions were good. On the way from Zhanjiang to Guangzhou, there was constant traffic jams due to road construction, and I was also blocked in and out of Guangzhou. There is also this heavy rain in Zhanjiang. As the lyrics say,"Love is like a storm, the clear sky is clear, and there is a sudden storm." The windshield wipers are so tired that they may cramp. Hurry up and drive forward to take shelter from the rain.

Yangxi, Shaba Bay, which I used to reach only by train and car, is now only more than half an hour's drive away.

Characteristics of the season-simplicity. The best thing is that the Tianhe East Railway Station Store has a great location. It is next to the subway entrance and opposite is Dongfang Taibao Square. There is Tao Tao Ju inside. Have morning tea from Tao Tao Ju and cross the road when you come out. You can get everything you want to do when you turn left. It's just that the parking lot doesn't go directly to the lobby, but in such a crowded Tianhe District, this is nothing.

dinner

After a few days out of the house, the first time Brother Chen got up before 12 o'clock was in Haitang Bay, and the second time was in Guangzhou. If he got up late, it would be too difficult to wait for the morning tea table. The previous experience of waiting for two hours at Sihai Yipin was still a shadow, so I also paid attention to the public accounts of Dude and Taotaoju early to queue up.

Day-9, Guangzhou-Changsha Residence: Home

Seeing the menu, the little rain returned to its true nature in a second.

Fortunately, I will move in a few days. When my circle of friends complained that Changsha Ikea was slow to open, I received good news from Ikea controllers that it would open at the end of the year!

The little girl who let go of herself is so happy!

The little girl who packs carefully has a good habit and is great!

The conflicted little girl rationally chose not to eat!

Haha, happy shopping!

After the rain, the temperature in Guangdong is much lower than that in Changsha. I have to go home and face the test of the scorching heat!

Shunhua duck meat pot rice in the service area, the taste of Hunan cuisine is back!

We are back too!

The mountains and rivers we saw, the delicious food we ate, and the words we said on the journey are all beautiful memories.
