1. Hotel accommodation

The coastline is 7.5 kilometers, with blue sky and blue sea, crystal clear water and fine sand. It is known as the "Hawaii of the East" and is the best bay in the world. The hotel has a 450-meter private beach.

Looking around, the sea and sky are the same color, boundless, and the mountain-like waves are like angry lions, rushing towards the beach, and like shy little girls, quietly retreating into the sea.

If you have a peaceful mind, you can plant lotus flowers step by step. If the mind is bright, everything will be bright; if the mind is turbid, everything will be dark. Persevere in everything and realize the meaning of Zen.

The hotel faces the South China Sea. When playing in the water, you will find many transparent jellyfish, sunshine, beaches, waves, and beautiful women. How can there be so many beauties on the beach? It is the most beautiful scenery on the beautiful beach, pleasing to the eye and fascinating. How beautiful she looks, with the pearl-like windows open, how quiet she leans against, and how troubled her eyebrows are! You can see the bright tear stains on her face now, but it's not the man she loved so much.

How romantic it is to be able to play and walk on the beach with your lover. Don’t ask about the warmth of spring, just be happy. Aren’t you the scenery in other people’s eyes?

Life, all the scenery, all the songs, all the life, all the way to the feet, even if youth gradually leaves me, there is no need to be sentimental, no need to sigh, as long as you have a good attitude, continue to enrich your life , I believe you will have the feelings and beauty of being eighteen every day.

2. Yalong Bay

About 20 minutes away from the hotel, you will come to the first seafood market you have heard of for a long time. To be honest, at first glance, I still find the decoration of the market very interesting and symbolic. It was very lively to see people coming and going on this street. Presumably these people came here just like us?

I probably did enough homework before coming here and asked some friends and people in the industry (after all, it is not uncommon to get slaughtered for eating seafood, so be prepared for a rainy day). The main way to eat seafood here is to buy seafood from stalls in the first market and then go to a seafood shop for processing.

If you know your business, you can buy your own seafood. If you don’t know, you can take it to a seafood store to buy it. If you let the soliciting girl take it, then wait to be "slaughtered".

We are the kind of people who don’t know how to buy seafood, so we directly used the navigation on our mobile phones to go to the famous Sichuan Xiaowu Seafood Store and asked the waiter in the store to take us to the market to buy seafood.

When the waiter took us to the market, my first choice was the relatively high-priced lobster, but I didn’t know how to choose, so I had to ask the waiter in the store for help.

The waiter told us to be careful when buying lobster. 1. Check whether the lobster is fresh to avoid buying dead lobster. 2: When weighing, be sure to pay attention to the lobster bag to see if there is water or anything else inside.

It is best not to weigh in bags. They say some bags look thin, but are actually very heavy. Yes: Check whether the price of lobster is suitable for purchase.

After listening to the waiter’s words, I also wanted to experience it myself. I immediately caught a lobster and looked at the lobster I caught. Its two big feet kept slapping my hand. I was really worried that the lobster's big feet would bite my hand off, so I put it in the water.

Then let’s take a look at the price of this lobster. The price of lobster (market price) is written on the jar. I thought, isn’t this expensive?

A lobster like this would cost at least five to six hundred dollars here. Later, when the waiter saw that we liked this lobster so much, he asked us: "Do you want one?" We said: "Of course, lobster is our favorite. We also buy it back home, but the lobster back home is too expensive."

It’s not as cheap as here! The waiter listened to our words, put his hand into the jar, and helped us choose a big and fat lobster. Finally, the waiter and the lobster vendor asked us if we wanted to sell one for 80 yuan. At first, suppliers were reluctant.

Later I saw the waiter saying he would take us somewhere else to buy it, and then the stall owner agreed to sell it to us. Really good. Unexpectedly, such a big lobster originally sold for 120 yuan, but the waiter at Xiaozhu’s family bought it for 80 yuan. It's really amazing.

After buying lobster, we and the waiter went to the stall selling Lehe crab. We know that Lehe crab is one of the four famous dishes in Hainan. However, many crab vendors claim that they sell Lehe crabs, and we don’t actually know which crab is the real Lehe crab. According to the waiter at Mustache’s, there are really few.

If you don’t know, it’s best to ask the store staff to help you choose. Crab vendors are likely to sell inferior crabs as good ones and not let you buy dead crabs. So you need to use your hands to feel whether the crab is alive, and avoid bringing other things with you when weighing.

Only then did I understand what the mustachioed waiter meant. The market price is (70 yuan for the large one, 40 yuan for the medium one and 70 yuan for the small one). The mustachioed waiter helped us pick two medium-sized crabs, 70 for two.

Look at the shellfish species. These conches are relatively tiring and not expensive. They can be regarded as a kind of seafood that is friendly to the people. We also asked the mustachioed waiter to help us choose some, but forgot the specific price. In the end, the waiter helped us pick out a pound of shrimp for 40 yuan and a pound of grouper for 45 yuan.

Note: When selecting shellfish, gently touch the flesh of the shellfish with your hands. If it can move or retract, it must be alive. Be sure to use a plastic basket when weighing, not only to drain the water but also to pick out bad shellfish.

When buying seafood, you have to choose a seafood processing store. The Sichuan Mustache Seafood restaurant I chose has good reviews online. The price of seafood processing is clearly marked, and the reputation is also good. Looking at this hot scene, you know that the food tastes good and the diners’ choice is always the most convincing.

You may be surprised when you go to dinner at noon, but how do you take photos of night scenes? Haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha, haha.

(While waiting for the table, I chatted with the boss for a while. I heard him say that his shop has been operating here for more than 20 years and was one of the first seafood processing shops. Suddenly I felt that I had made the right choice again. . )

I especially recommend the lobster. The main method is garlic spicy. You can ask the seafood shop to process it according to your own taste. What you need to pay special attention to here is that the lobster you buy may be transferred from a processing store, so you need to find a processing store with a high reputation.

I chose steamed hibiscus, which retains the umami flavor of lobster to the greatest extent. The processed mustache has a moderate taste, and the lobster meat is thick and delicious, with a touch of sweetness. It is absolutely delicious.

And this - Spicy Happy Crab. Be sure to tell the waiter how spicy it is before processing. Even the spicy stir-fried Happy Crab can't mask the sweetness of the crab itself. Personally, I think it tastes much better than that mysterious crab. Also note that the crabs you buy may have been exchanged by a processing store, so be sure to find a processing store with a high reputation.

Pipi shrimp, the Cantonese name is Seto shrimp. Beware of those who are particularly eager to help catch Pipi shrimps. This kind of shrimp is particularly easy to die. It's possible that when you look at the bouncing Pipi Shrimp, it's just his hands that are moving. Drain as much water as possible while weighing. The recommended method is salt and pepper, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The shrimp meat is plump and very tasty, with a hint of sweetness. Also my favorite!

It is not recommended to use salt and pepper for shellfish, as it will lose a lot of water, so it is impossible to tell whether it has been replaced by stale ones. Scallops are best steamed with garlic vermicelli.

The stone must be steamed to obtain the tender elasticity of the meat. If some boss insists on recommending braised fish to you, you have to be careful whether he is trying to cover up the staleness of the fish with a strong aroma. Also, don’t listen to your boss’s encouragement to buy large grouper. Generally, fish weighing about 1 kilogram is the most delicious.

The most recommended vegetarian dish is the four-cornered beans, a specialty of Sanya. They are usually stir-fried or stir-fried with garlic. They are crispy, refreshing and have a unique flavor. Four-carat beans have extremely high nutritional value and are known as "green gold". This seafood processing shop will have it. Just check whether the ingredients are fresh and ask about the price before ordering.

Hainan Coconut Boat, also known as "Pearl Liuzi Boat", is a traditional snack in Hainan. It is cooked with fresh coconut, sticky rice and spices. It is both soft and hard, crispy and chewy, rich in coconut flavor, sweet and refreshing. You can order this dish at Sichuan Xiaowu Seafood Restaurant. I highly recommend this dish, with its rich coconut flavor.

3. The First Market

The tour guide said that Wuzhizhou was bought by a boss for 4 billion. Everything on the island is private property and prices are ridiculously high. The queue to board the boat takes an hour or two. There is nothing on the bow

It is recommended to purchase the VIP island tour package for 1,688 yuan, which includes direct boarding, diving for 1,188 yuan, island-hopping cruise for 288 yuan, buffet lunch for 128 yuan, battery car for 158 yuan, etc. Many people in the same car bought VIP packages, so I bought a 588 yuan diving ticket.

No matter you are a VIP or not, you don’t have to queue to get on the boat. The person who bought the VIP started cursing. After getting on the boat, the wind and waves were a bit strong. Many people on the boat suffered from seasickness, some vomited directly on the boat, and some vomited after landing.

After having a wonderful lunch, we went to the island to choose shooting scenes. Wuzhizhou is the filming location of the movie "Private Customization", and the set has not been demolished. Many couples come to the island to take wedding photos. I think it is a featureless process.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I must leave the island before half past five. I hurriedly came to the place I had stepped on before. There was no makeup, no emotion, no state, and no sunshine. I recorded a few photos with my hands.

I arrived at the pier at five o'clock and the queue was very long. It is said that places near the railing can pass faster than those in the middle. Sure enough, it took fifteen minutes to board the boat. This time, the boat was much bigger than before, and of course it was much smoother. After arriving at the shore and buying a lot of fruit, the camera accidentally dropped on the ground and broke the hood and UV of the 70-200/2.8 lens. I felt distressed for ten seconds.

4. Wuzhizhou Island

There are countless small fish in the aquarium, and my favorite is these unknown striped fish. I don't know their names. They are very beautiful and the forms of marine life are diverse and colorful.

After the aquarium, we went to Sanya, where there were performances and a zoo. But what I loved most was the performance, it was really stunning. From the scenes to the dance, from the actors to the plot, everything is very attractive. Even a three-year-old said they were so pretty. The zoo is nothing special, just like any other zoo.
