Berman Hotel Guilin

Friends, some time ago, I shared with you the strategies of Lingao and Baimajing. My trip to the west of Hainan finally reached the last stop in the east, a clean seaside town. Although it is called East, it is at the westernmost end of Hainan.

Like the tropical island town I imagined, sunshine, blue waves and coconut trees are infinitely available all over the city, and people with loose temperament sit in their father's tea shop all day.

In a city with its own leisurely pace, people's footsteps become lazy.

From the climate point of view, the eastern part is a tropical monsoon maritime climate, backed by Wuzhishan, which belongs to leeward slope and has the property of dryness and little rain. Therefore, even when the north has fallen into the cold winter, there is still wanton sunshine here, and even the saturation of the sky is much higher.

As soon as I think of the average temperature of 20℃, I can't wait to pack my bags and start again.

Dongfang City is close to the sea. It is the only three cities in Hainan that are close to the sea (the other two are Haikou and Sanya). The certainty of seeing the blue sea in a few steps here often gives me a great sense of security.

In terms of living cost, Dongfang is the largest crop production base in Hainan Province, so the price of fruits and vegetables is extremely cheap, even reaching one-third of Haikou or Sanya.

I have seen endless seasonal seafood in eight busy fishing ports, and all kinds of pickles, Chili sauce and tropical fruits in the vegetable market. You will find that you can eat practical happiness in your stomach, but there are plenty of reserves here.

There are also the oriental roast suckling pig that makes me feel delicious, the appearance of the oriental port gate, and the daddy tea, all of which are representatives of greedy people.

No wonder it is the favorite city of the Northeast people, and it will come to Hainan for the winter by migratory birds. Even the urban area has formed a special northeast vegetable market (which is also super easy to visit).

In terms of transportation, the East is also very convenient. Take the high-speed rail around the island from Haikou 1h40min, and take Sanya 1h to the east. Next, start visiting the East with me ~

Oriental diet guide

Sigengzhou branch roast suckling pig

In Hainan, Lingao roast suckling pig is very famous. However, I also saw that many people expressed dissatisfaction with the Oriental roast suckling pig and asked to play. I don't mean to lead a war, but when I go to the Oriental roast suckling pig, I will naturally try it.

The shops of oriental roast suckling pig are basically concentrated near Ba fishing port. You can unlock this roast suckling pig street by the way after visiting the fishing port. Where I went, the scene was quite wild.

The suckling pig is roasting on the charcoal stove on the street, and its skin has turned brown. A closer look shows that there is slight oil leakage, and the charcoal fragrance in the air is mixed with meat fragrance.

Oriental roast suckling pigs will be younger than Lingao suckling pigs if they choose a small fragrant pig for more than 40 days. It's not a wave of baking in the morning and then sold out, but a day of selling and baking. The price is really not cheap. 200 yuan's 1 kg is still in short supply, so it costs more than 300 yuan to buy such a small dish.

When roasting, the chef will constantly brush oil on the pork, and the oil will heat up quickly after charcoal roasting, so the skin will become brittle.

But the lean meat in the inner layer is still tender and has no smell of firewood at all. There is a thin layer of fat between the skin and lean meat. Slow roasting with charcoal fire removes excess grease, making fat meat fragrant but not greasy.

Take a bite and even the juice overflows. This meat won't make you feel greasy, crisp and full at all, so delicious that you want to scream!

I'm glad I don't live in the east, otherwise I would really lose my wallet.

Laobacha store

Dad tea is the name of Hainan morning tea. /kloc-At the end of 0/9th century, returned overseas Chinese from Hainan brought tea drinking habits in Southeast Asia back to their hometown, and this comprehensive teahouse offering tea, coffee and various Chinese and western snacks appeared.

Most people who spend a lot of time in teahouses are elderly dads (as Hainan people call old people), so the name milk tea is gone.

The atmosphere of drinking dad's tea in the East is also very strong. There are many tea shops on the two streets that turn from Jiefang West Road to Bashu Station, and the tables on the street are full of people who are tasting tea.

My most intuitive feeling is that the concentration of men in this street is too high, and passing by feels great pressure.

The local people go to the tea shop for breakfast, order a pot of tea and add some dim sum bread. A group of bosses can sit in the shop and have tea and chat all morning. Tea is not particular, it is often a pot of popular tea for a few dollars, and snacks are also very affordable.

On the recommendation of local people, I went to Wei Hui Maxim Teahouse.

Ordered a pot of milk tea, the local practice is actually to pour the milk into the teapot. I will also give you a small glass of sugar, the sweetness can be controlled by yourself.

Bread is also a traditional style, but it is all made by the store itself. When a drawer is sold out, a new one will come up. I asked for a coconut bread. The bread is soft and has a layer of coconut on the surface. Reminds me of the satisfaction of eating coconut when I was a child.

In the morning, the temperature in the east is 25 degrees and the sunshine is not strong. It's comfortable to sit on the side of the road with the wind blowing. No one was in a hurry, and everyone sat comfortably.

If it is judged that Hainan men are idle because dad's tea shop is on fire, they will deny it.

I had a brief talk with my dads around me. Their general feeling is that Hainan is hot, so they usually go to work when the weather is cool, and come here for tea and rest when the sun is too full during the day.

Gangster image

Orientals love to show off, and this place will become the most famous in Hong Kong.

In Oriental City, if you want to eat authentic taste, you can go to Meihua Gangmen Facade Store. The business staff is sister Meihua of Gangmen. She has been selling this bowl of noodles for many years. I have accumulated a group of regular customers all the year round, and I am greedy for the taste of this bowl.

Although it is called noodles, its base material is actually Pingjiang powder. Sweet potato powder is added to the gravy, so it is very thick. The rice noodles are wrapped in this thickened marinade, which makes them extraordinarily smooth and easy to swallow.

Among all the ingredients, I think the most special thing is that it will add two spoonfuls of sesame powder and peanuts. After fully stirring, each rice noodle is wrapped with fine sesame seeds and peanuts.

The overall taste of noodles is sweet, but it feels not sweet because of many ingredients. The pickled cabbage hidden in it belongs to another kind, slightly sour but not too much. Eating chopsticks once in a while will make you feel very fresh.

After eating, there is still sour taste between lips and teeth, and salty taste and sweet taste are mixed in brine.

Lin Ji baoluofen

Lin Ji Paul Powder is also an old shop. People come to eat bowls of powder to fill their stomachs at different times of the day.

Abalone powder will be thicker than Hainan powder, and it is also made of rice. It looks round, white and fat, and the marinade will be sweeter.

Like other Hainan powder, it is divided into soup version and dry-cured version, and I chose the latter. 15 yuan's comprehensive abalone powder, with shredded squid, beef jerky, peanuts, sour bamboo shoots and other ingredients 10. And 15 yuan can get one more cuttlefish ball and beef ball.

The marinade of abalone powder is brown and sticky, and its texture is like lotus root starch. There is a lot of marinade, almost the whole bowl of powder is soaked in it, and every bite will first feel the thick gelatinous texture.

The powder is also sprinkled with fine white sesame seeds, which will be very fragrant if you take a bite occasionally.

Zhangji coffee

An old shop that makes serious food has its own temper. Zhangji coffee is hidden in an alley in Dad Tea Street.

You can only see an inconspicuous shop sign on the roadside, and then go inside, and the shop will open in the old house of the most traditional oriental family.

They only do afternoon tea business. It is an old-school tradition to go to the store for a cup of coffee and a piece of toast.

Coffee beans are made from local Xinglong coffee in Hainan. The old-school practice is to add a spoonful of condensed milk to the coffee liquid. Remember to stir well with a spoon before drinking. The taste is very rich and mellow.

Cheetos are also delicious. Slices of bread soaked in egg liquid taste salty and soft.

You can also bring a glass of old salt water before you go. Old salt water is a happy summer water for Hainan people, which is available in many tea shops. In contrast, the practice of Zhangji Coffee will be more traditional.

Because there is no pressure for mass production, their old salt is the salt they have stored for 10 years, and the fruits are all seasonal fruits. They are all fresh-cut, without any syrup and additives, and you can drink the most traditional old salt passion fruit lemonade.

The old railway station faces Qing Bu beam.

The boss's son is 22 years old and cooks for 2 1 year. Like many seaside families, he used to be a fisherman and often drifted at sea with fishing boats. But after the child was born, he relearned the craft and returned to live on the island.

Qingbuliang Store opens in the evening (business hours 16:30-0 1:00), a small storefront facing the street. There are classic coconut milk and sugar water, and other sugar water can also be made into the style of scrambled ice.

I ordered a stir-fried cold salad, the basic ingredients are mung beans, red dates, taro and so on. By the way, the local practice will habitually add condensed milk. If it is too sweet, you can inform the boss in advance.

Soon a bowl of cooking piled up into a hill and was brought up. Coconut milk was freshly squeezed on the same day, with rich fragrance and fresh fruit ingredients.

The material is sufficient, the taste is positive, and it is dense. In the slightly sultry evening, a refreshing chill entered the stomach, and the summer heat gradually dissipated.

A guide to walking in the east

Basuo fishing port

In the east, one of the three central fishing ports in Hainan, the eight central fishing ports in the east can't be missed.

Located in the northwest coast of Dongfang City, Basuo Port is a national first-class open port. The port consists of old port area, new port area and fishing port area. At present, there are 16 berths, and there are 9 berths above 10,000 tons, which is quite large.

Fishing is very optimistic about the low tide time. Cast a net at high tide and close it at low tide. It is the time when a large number of fishing boats return to Hong Kong after 4 pm. This time is the busiest time (the low tide time is different in different seasons, so you can ask in advance when you go).

The fishing boats moored in the harbor are very spectacular. Fishing boats are local people's means of transportation. Some people buy rice, noodles and grain and oil on board, and the crew return with full loads.

But it was still early when I arrived, and there were not many booths. In dribs and drabs, some fishermen sell their fish and shrimp with small bamboo baskets.

After buying seafood, you can also go to a nearby seafood processing shop for processing. The processing fee is clearly marked. I took a picture for your reference.

Changshun market

If you ask the local people about the northeast vegetable market, they will basically take you to Changshun market.

The endless sunshine in Hainan attracts many Northeasters to buy houses, but it is difficult for them to do as the Romans do, and they still miss everything from snacks to pancakes, green onions and stewed Chinese cabbage vermicelli, so there is a vegetable market dominated by merchants and customers.

Most vegetables here will indicate the place of origin. Shandong Zhangqiu green onion, Harbin Acheng cabbage, northeast green eggplant and Mudanjiang potato are all labeled as Shandong, but they are all irresistible hometown flavors here.

There are many fruit stalls, and the common styles are pitaya, passion fruit, Sakyamuni and mango.

I paid attention to the price. Watermelon 2 yuan 1 kg, banana 2.5 yuan 1 kg, Qiongzhong Green Orange 3 kg 10 yuan, the prices are quite good. You can take them home directly if you buy them here.

Basically, every booth will be written with the words "national delivery in professional packaging". If it exceeds 10 kg, it can be packaged and mailed.

Fish scale delta

Go to Fish Scale Island at night to watch the sunset on the west coast. Not far from Dongfang City, it takes about 0/0 minutes by taxi/kloc.

As early as forty years of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, it has been listed as one of the scenic spots in Hainan. This is the westernmost point of Hainan Island and the best place to watch the sunset.

This is a rocky mountain surrounded by the sea on three sides. The White Lighthouse is an important navigation mark in Beibu Gulf and a symbol of Dongfang City.

Klein's blue sea and orange sunset are the most classic seaside elements. Moreover, the sunset here has a wide view, and you can see the sunset directly in front of you.

The west wind blowing from the sea is constant all year round. On the beach of Fish Scale Island, eighteen huge windmills stand not far away, which has also become a scenery by the sea.

In addition, there are many interesting villages under Oriental City, which I don't have time to go to, but I have listed them here first, and those who are interested can arrange them according to the row.

Gangmen village

Gangmen Village is a small fishing village on the east coast, close to the sea. Pushing windows into the sea is a daily life here. Stylistically, it will be more original. Fishermen go fishing in the sea every day and then go back to the shore to dry the fish. This is the daily life of the fishing village.

Picture @ Yaya Yaya Yaya Yaya Yaya

If you are interested in the primitive life of fishermen, you should find many surprises here. This is also the birthplace of the above-mentioned appearance, and the appearance of Fang Yi in Gangmen is a locally recognized time-honored brand.

Baicha village

Baicha Village is a Li village located in Bian Jiang Township, Dongfang City. Boat-shaped houses are the characteristic dwellings of Li nationality in Hainan. As the name implies, thatched houses look like upside-down boats.

Baicha Village has 8 1 boathouses, which is one of the best-preserved natural villages in Hainan.

Walking into the last ancient village of Li nationality, the original and mysterious atmosphere came to my face. There is no commercialization here, only coconut trees and ancient houses that grow everywhere. If you spread the wings of imagination, it can still be integrated into the life of Li people.

Exianling

Before, I only knew that the karst landform in Guangxi is very concentrated, but in fact, Hainan people also have their own Guilin landscape: E Xianling. The mountains and rivers are undulating, the temperament is very distinct, and there is a feeling of dreaming back to Guangxi.

Picture @ July Pink Blue

Friends who love the outdoors have set their eyes on this treasure land, and there are still many people who drive to camp.

///

Finally, I will summarize my citywalk route in the east.

The appearance of Dongfang Gangmen is still the manager of powdered milk tea, and the manager of Dongfang Roast Suckling Pig Ba Fishing Port Zhangji Coffee Fish Scales Zhoulao Railway Station is stir-fried and cool.

Such a day has been arranged and the content is quite rich ~ In this happy city, let me lie flat with peace of mind!
