Xunzhou Island, Raoping County, Chaozhou

I had long wanted to run away, and because of a friend’s opportunity, I set foot on the road to Xuzhou Island in Raoping County, Chaozhou City. The distance from Dongguan City to the island is about 500 kilometers. Our group of two cars went straight from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to the first day of the lanterns and the moon hanging high.

?We couldn’t get to the island at nine o’clock in the evening, so we had to make a stop in Raoping County. The seafood stalls on the roadside filled our bellies. Staying in the Overseas Chinese Federation Building, the hotel in the small county town is very value for money. The room with more than 200 yuan is presidential-level treatment. The two beds only occupy a corner of the room of 40 to 50 square meters, and even the Kung Fu tea set is provided. This kind of atmosphere is worthy of being nurtured by the sea.

We rushed to our destination early the next morning. All we saw for dozens of miles along the way were nurseries. But unlike the fruit seedlings and vegetable seedlings in our hometown, the seedlings here were all seafood seedlings.

It is said that tens of thousands of yellow-billed egrets that live on Xi'ao Island in Zhelin Town, 2 kilometers away, often come as guests. I spotted one from a distance.

Xunzhou Island (Xùnzhōu Dǎo) is located in the middle of Zhelin Bay, Raoping County, Guangdong Province, 4 kilometers south of the Huanggang River estuary in Raoping. The area is about 2.5 square kilometers. In ancient times, it was called Raoping Flood Land, and it was originally called Xunzhou. Most of the residents on the island were engaged in fishing, focusing on fishing and flooding, and later changed to Xunzhou Island. Xunzhou Island has a subtropical marine monsoon climate, rich underground water resources, small waterfalls and mountain springs, and a forest coverage rate of more than 90%. There is a 10-kilometer-long bay beach on the island. The seabed has a gentle slope and clean sand, making it an excellent bathing beach.

To reach the island, you must pass through this sea of ??people. I was surprised when I first saw this village in the sea, thinking it was another island. When our small boat sailed through the seaway in the "village", we discovered that it was a sea home built by fishermen with foam boards for the convenience of farming and fishing. Dan Ning also discovered a dog house in it! A small number of tourists have come to visit, and some economically savvy fishermen have transformed their sea houses into sea restaurants.

Xunzhou Island is still a completely undeveloped original ecological island. There are no speedboats, ATVs, barbecues, and no noisy crowds. The beach under the scorching sun only smells of the sea, and there are also fishermen. Imprint, everything is so safe.

There was only one of us on the huge beach, and the blazing sunshine could not stop our enthusiasm. We rolled up our trousers and threw ourselves into the embrace of the sea, feeling like free people under the blue sky. From time to time, everyone made new discoveries, such as moving crabs, nailed boat wood, worn fishing nets, strange rocks, and Dan Ning also discovered a spoon. The beach under her feet quietly told endless stories... ..

The beach is dotted with this kind of stone, which I call the home of oysters. The white shells are the traces left by the fishermen who took the oysters. This bay should be Oystershell Bend, right? ?

We can reach this stone mountain by walking along the beach. There are three flat boulders naturally stacked on top of each other, about ten meters high. From the inscriptions at the foot of the mountain, we know that they are triple stones. ?Seeing the fresh feeling of the inscriptions here is like a lump in the throat. It would feel better if they could be made into cliff inscriptions.

Jumping on a fishing boat and pretending to be a fisherman, coupled with "Fishing Boats Sing Evening" is really perfect. In less than a morning, everyone's original Indian skin color has been stained with African colors.

I took a photo with my cowboy husband. I can’t even remember how long ago it was last time I took a photo. My friend joked that we had just found romance. Although I smiled, it was not the case. People do not talk about romance when they are middle-aged. Life depends on responsibility and tolerance.

Looking at all kinds of garbage swept up by the waves, as well as the seafood shells discarded by fishermen on the beach, I was thinking that humans really are a type of animal that needs to be restrained. In our country, natural forms often In a destroyed state. Sure enough, after a while, Dan Ning's foot was cut heavily by a sharp oyster shell. She cried while holding her bloody foot, and had no choice but to rest in the fisherman's shed.

The fisherman’s life dyed the old lady’s hair white and bent her back, but people who face the sea are always magnanimous and cheerful. I squatted there and watched her take the oyster meat. Although I couldn’t understand the language, I couldn’t understand it. The smile was the same, her wrinkles were as open as a flower towards me, and her quick hands and feet shucked the whole bucket of oysters while she spoke. Later, after asking around on the roadside, I found out that oyster meat is only 8 yuan per pound, and the whole bucket of oysters can't even be sold for 20 yuan. Oh my god, is this the price of seafood?

Arriving at the bathing beach in the evening, the blue sky hugs the sea, the setting sun hugs the beach, and the people laughing are all over the place.

As soon as I entered the bathhouse, the crowds of sand diggers caught my eye, and I quickly went over to take a look. I saw their hands groping randomly in the large and small holes in front of them. When I asked, I found out that they were digging clams to prepare soup for dinner! At first, I always thought that I could just pick up the clams, but I didn’t expect that they had to dig for them even though they were hiding under the sand. There were two little guys who didn’t bring any tools but they actually dug up a lot of clams. This shows that you can trap a white wolf with your bare hands.

Just stand on the soft beach and receive the kiss of the waves, without thinking or saying anything. ?Facing the sea that remains calm even after thousands of sails have passed, what can I still have to do if I am as small as I am? Let’s wash away all the troubles here and set sail again!

The seafood feasts I have eaten in these two days are more than what I have eaten in half a lifetime. The seafood here is mostly cooked in clear water without any seasonings, and the meat is fresh, sweet and authentic. The good news is that the price of seafood is lower than you think.
