Accommodation : Previously, every time you traveled, whether with the group or self-help, hot water TV standard room is the most basic. This time there is a new experience: live in the master's school - located near the county, the school building is very new, 6 floors high, is the tallest building in the neighborhood. There were no beds, no pillows, no hot water, no TV, and sleeping on the floor on mats - big bunks. But it is strange to say, such conditions, all the people did not have insomnia, no back pain, only 5-6 hours of sleep a day, wake up at 6:00 in the morning, but also particularly energetic.EO1Pj

Eating : leaning on the mountain, leaning on the sea, eating the sea, is not false at all. Here to eat seafood is the protagonist, the practice is very different from Shenzhen, but basically still able to get used to. A famous is squid, very fresh, practice is not to take out the ink inside, the whole dish black, eat up very fresh, but everyone has become a black beard; another famous is asparagus, this plant lives in the sandy soil, very refreshing sweet, and nutritious, can be used as medicine to cure diseases, is a very good therapeutic food; there is also a kind of seafood with the fried noodles, very fresh and delicious. Breakfast inside the peanut milk is more special, the islanders like to eat sweet, soybean milk, peanut milk, pastries are not sweet and greasy. There are Fuzhou snacks on the island, which are very cheap and tasty, with large dumplings, small buns, and steamed soups for only 2 yuan a piece. We ate breakfast in a nearby village in the morning, very dilapidated small breakfast store, according to the standard of hygiene in Shenzhen such a store we would never dare to go in, but the master said that although it looks as if it is not clean, but no one in the village has ever contracted a disease because of it. When in Rome, we don't care. On the island even ate a few days of seafood and fried noodles, we have rice, green vegetables, chili peppers and meat instead of very nostalgic, the last day turned half of the county, found a Szechuan restaurant but closed, and found a mountain restaurant, go in a bit of food or seafood .... Eyes are green . ,N

The first profound impression of coming to Dongshan is the sky full of stars, and when discovering this, everyone almost screamed out in shock . What a beautiful Milky Way! What a beautiful Big Dipper! What a beautiful cowherd star! Sitting on the rooftop rooftop counting the stars, watching meteors fly by, that is a quiet and shocking beauty. These two days back in Shenzhen, the night cloudless, but found that the stars can be seen, ten fingers can be counted over, this is really a prosperous civilization behind the sad . ^;<

Dongshan Island people are simple, hospitable, on the island for three days, never encountered treacherous businessmen, and play treacherous make slippery people, but often let us these habits of everywhere on the defensive, careful people in Shenzhen is very shameful. An example: arrived at Dongshan has been 9:30 pm, the master took us to his friend opened the seafood restaurant dinner, ordering food, we are still like in Shenzhen, fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish each to ask the price of a clear, but also with the Shenzhen ShuiKou market to compare the price, for fear of being cheated. After dinner, the boss insisted on not charging money, said the master's friend is his friend, in our repeated insistence, before receiving 100 yuan. Master left Dongshan for a long time, a lot of places to play not too familiar, are his friends reception - the local accompaniment. Each are very enthusiastic, busy, to their homes, parents and siblings are warmly greeted, come up with the best things for us to eat ---- just hit out of the crabs, squid; to the same village people's fishing boat, fishing row (for captive fish and built on the sea huts) on the fishermen are very friendly and bright, specially borrowed speedboats to carry us to the sea to a sandbar. All of this was done without any payment. By the way, on the way back, passing through Shantou, a detour to Nanao Island to play a circle, only a decent beach not to mention, the people are very different, copper flavor, and very unfriendly, so it is recommended that if you want to travel to Nanao Island, not as much as 100 kilometers to the Dongshan Island to get good, but also do not have to take a 40-minute car ferry. -'

Friday night, I slept until 4 o'clock to get up to watch the sunrise, because the sunset is more, so I didn't go to the beach to watch it, but watched the sunrise from the roof of the building. After breakfast, it was straight to Tongling Town, where the famous Wind-driven Rock and Guandi Temple are located. When we passed the beach, we couldn't wait to rush to the beach. The first impression is that the sand is particularly fine and white, step on the soles of the feet, soft and soft, unlike the sand of Dameisha so cackling feet. It is said that the sand here is used as raw material by the famous Fuyao Glass Factory, and the quality of the glass produced is famous in the world. During the most difficult time in New China, the Japanese came to buy the sand, but they didn't sell it. Now the sand is being gradually eaten away, which is also heartbreaking. The beach is very primitive, because there are few people, the beach is everywhere visible shells and crab holes. j&GGp

Continue on the road, to the wind-driven stone scenic spot located in Tongling Town, the ticket 20/person, but fortunately there is a master, he and the fishermen spoke a few words, and finally talked about: sit on the fishermen's boat to the opposite side of the island of Dongming Temple, and then open the boat to the wind-driven stone scenic spot behind the landing, the ticket fee to save 120 yuan, as long as to give the fishermen 80 yuan. Think about it, play more than one attraction, took the boat, but also saved 40 big dollars!4

The island is a small temple, there are not many tourists, it is said that the temple statues are made of Thai alabaster. The first thing you need to do is to take a walk before and after, burn a few notes of incense, nothing special, but the old monk and the temple on Zen preaching some, quite a sense of enlightenment. s

Coming to the wind-driven stone scenic area, the most famous is the wind-driven stone, is a huge goose-oval stone (200 tons or so), hanging on the edge of a large stone platform, typhoons come, will rock back and forth, rumbling, it is said that in a certain position a child lying down with his legs stomping on the stone, will be shaking - the master when I was a child stomping! I was a child when I was stomping. More magical statement, the Japanese occupation of Dongshan Island, think this rock is an eyesore, sent three warships with a rope to the sea drag, the wind rock but does not move! Now because of the weathering of the rock surface, for fear of shaking damage, has been stuffed with something underneath the protection, the wind can not move the stone. >

Other attractions include the Tiger Cavity Dripping Jade, just below the rocks on the beach a cave that can drive into a car, there is a dripping rock, surprisingly sweet spring water, everyone drank a small mouthful of it, tasted great; above the small Great Wall of Zheng Chenggong - the old city of Tongshan; the 10,000 people wells dug by Zheng Chenggong, enough for 1 The most famous of all is the Guan Di Temple, which is said to be the only two of its size in the country, the other one being in Shanxi. This temple is the main temple of most of the Guan Di temples in Southeast Asia, including South China and Taiwan, and all the other Guan Di temples spread out from here. As a result, this temple is very popular and is often visited by overseas Chinese. The main gate of the temple has three doors on the main side, and the main door in the center is blocked by a carved dragon and gold-plated latch, which is said to bring luck by touching the latch three times. This latch has to pay attention to, because Guan Di was sealed as emperor, ordinary people can only from both sides of the door in and out, only the king and the head of state to come, can only take the latch to open the door in and out. Other times can only be taken away when Guan Gong goes on patrol every year. It is said that in the past, there was a lift the bolt of the door to lift the bolt of the door directly into the main door, down the steps, the legs suddenly a soft on the knees. g

The temple has a special divining method, a pair of wood shaped like cashews, after making a wish, thrown to the ground, if it is a positive and a negative, the wish can be realized, a few of us try, are a positive and a negative, very happy. But with the probability of the method of calculation, as if still two coins, the probability of one positive and one negative should be fifty percent. #\

After four o'clock we resumed our journey to swim and eat seafood at Jinlan Bay. The sand is the same fine white, more amazing is that the beach is so gentle, 200 meters into the sea, the sea water to the chest. The crystal clear water, cool sea breeze, and due to the excellent beach environment here, it is regularly used as a venue for international beach volleyball tournaments. I've been to most of the beaches in Guangdong, but I've never seen such great conditions. Swimming in such an environment is naturally the most enjoyable. Tired of swimming, walked ashore and found that the sea is ebbing, revealing a large flat and wet sand surface, the beach volleyball we brought in a layer of water film on the sand rolling resistance, as if the feeling of lawn soccer, kicking a soccer ball, each side of the two sand holes dug into the goal. In the fierce confrontation, with the ball, left and right with the left and right with the right, the door pumping, that feeling, cool, international ball player style, and finally, of course, tired is exhausted.U

The beach above is the place to eat seafood, eat seafood, in came to the beach, the sea water has receded more than 200 meters, into the far darkness of a white line. And MM barefoot walking on the wet sand, to the far side of the water to go, not only good digestion, but also very romantic oh. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services you need! Wx}ZKo

The next day is Sunday, is more than enough when the fishermen's addiction, first to the beach fishermen's home - we jokingly called the master "childhood Ajiao" home, practiced a little bit with a bucket to lift the technology of the well, and finally even the well rope with a bucket fell into the well. I fell into the well with both the rope and the bucket, and cursed "pig head". Then I went to a fishing raft in the bay to practice fishing, but I didn't catch a single fish, and the hooks of the three fishing poles all fell off, probably hanging on the anchor rope in the water, so I yelled at "pig-headed" again. Then take a speedboat to a unique sandbar on the sea, the sandbar was a pipe-shaped, hot sun, the sea breeze is very strong, because the water is very shallow, a few hundred meters away, the two directions of the waves are intertwined with each other, rolling with the white waves rolling, surrounded by seawater, the sand was blown up by the wind rolling in the sand, this scene is really unseen. The various kinds of shells on the sandbar attracted all the people at once, and everyone bent down and buried their heads to work hard, regardless of the scorching sun. The speedboat was almost blown away by the wind, but the young man who drove the speedboat found it in time and hurriedly jumped into the water to drag the boat back, and we all worked together to drag the boat onto the beach. Otherwise, we would all be Robinson on an island. All these programs were arranged by the "Master's Ajiao", Ajiao is a lively, cheerful and very capable fisherman's girl, who does her own clothing business in the county, and also has a wide range of contacts in Dongshan. Healthy skin, big eyes, people are also beautiful, talking about the colorful, you can not help but be infected. "Ajiao" was our second "escort", then she introduced another young man as the third "escort", took us to their fishing village - a village known as a million-dollar village. A million-dollar village, because every family has a fishing boat, and a fishing boat is worth more than $700,000 to $800,000, with advanced equipment such as satellite navigation. The fishing boats are all in the harbor because it's a fishing moratorium. The entire fishing harbor hundreds of fishing boats arranged neatly, black masts are densely packed, the situation, feel as if the ancient battlefield of thousands of horses.

Evening dinner, singing karaoke, "Ajiao" once again surprised people, professional-level singing skills so that we are a few from Shenzhen and the northwest of the "king of the song" eclipsed the party in a chorus! The party ended with a chorus of "Unforgettable Tonight". Monday morning in the county town greatly purchased a pass, a variety of seafood, tea, handicrafts ..... Stuffed a car. Then embarked on the road back. When passing through Chenghai, temporarily decided to go around to Nan'ao Island, the feeling has been mentioned earlier, will not go into detail. The whole travel expenses counted down to five people to share each talent more than three hundred dollars, of course, thanks to the local friends reception, accommodation and a lot of play is free. I believe that if a little development, the tourism resources of Dongshan Island is very attractive.
