As a person who grew up in an inland city, he is always full of endless curiosity and yearning for the sea. No matter how many islands you have been to, the next stop still has a fatal temptation.
When December comes and most cities in China are entering early winter, Hainan Island still looks sunny and warm, with bright sky, patches of coconut forests, winding mountain roads and blue sea, warmly making people unable to reject its beauty.
When it comes to Hainan Island, people think more about Sanya. Yes, especially recently, the opening of the second Hainan Island International Film Festival has attracted many filmmakers and movie enthusiasts, turning Sanya, which was originally lively, into a carnival for movie fans.
This trip to Hainan, in addition to enjoying the charm of light and shadow, I also have a selfish intention, which is to go to the niche coastal city of 0,000 , not far from Sanya.
Wan Ning has been well known to outsiders in recent years because of Shimei Bay . The movie "If You Are the One 2" presents this quiet and magnificent Garden of Eden to the world. It consists of two crescent bays. With its unique climate and beautiful scenery of 18 degrees north latitude, it has gradually become a bay paradise in the hearts of the world.
In fact, the low-key Wanning has been one of Hainan's four famous prefectures since ancient times. It has a spring climate, a clean water source, lush vegetation, and contains unique longevity resources. It has been awarded the title of " The World Longevity Hometown ".
And the beauty of Wan Ning is far more than Shimei Bay. As the starting point at the southwest end of the seaside travel highway, Shimei Bay is just a drop in the ocean. The whole journey is 35 kilometers, reaching Dahuajiao in the north, connecting many beautiful bays such as Nanyan Bay , Shenzhou Peninsula , Chunyuan Bay , and you can see the sea nearly half of the time.
Xinglong, located on the banks of the Sun River in Wanning, is the first stop to arrive. Unlike the Li tribes gathered in other bays in Wanning, this place is more like a "little United Nations" composed of people from many countries such as Malaysia , Singapore , Indonesia , Vietnam, Thailand and other countries. Walking on the street, you will hear Mandarin mixed with Southeast Asian accents from time to time.
Xinglong's most famous coffee is introduced and grown from overseas by these returning overseas Chinese who have lived in Xinglong for decades.
Thanks to Xinglong's climate, fertile selenium-rich soil and abundant rainfall, the grown coffee can be like a fish in water. When walking around Xinglong, you will find that coffee trees can be seen everywhere. Whether it is betel nut gardens, windbreak forests, or the houses of old expatriates, you can see the coffee trees hanging on them, which is very festive, making me curious when I saw the coffee trees for the first time.
is located in Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm Overseas Chinese Township Forest Park. It is a good place to get to know coffee up close and feel the strong atmosphere of returning overseas Chinese culture. Sun River winds and turns in the coffee valley and flows all seasons. The most attractive thing is the three major coffee varieties in the world planted under the forest. Here you can witness the wonderful process of turning from an ordinary plant seed into a cup of fragrant coffee.
Can't tell whether it was coffee that made Xinglong or Xinglong made coffee. This kind of drink with a strong petty bourgeois atmosphere in other cities can be seen everywhere in Xinglong Town, Wanning. Xinglong people can no longer remember when they started drinking coffee. Coffee has become a habit of most local people. Xinglong people affectionately call coffee "Guanbi".
Xinglong Coffee's reputation is not only limited to Hainan Island, but is first-class in the world. Many leaders of our country, such as Premier Zhou Enlai, have praised it endlessly.
In the 1980s, a top barista from Hong Kong posted a post after tasting Xinglong coffee, saying that the best coffee in the world is not in Ethiopia in Africa, nor in Brazil in South America, the world's coffee kingdom, but in Hainan and Yunnan in China, the abundant rainfall gives the coffee a mellow and fruity flavor.
Every morning, I wake up in the faint fragrance floating on the streets and alleys. It seems that every corner and air are soaked in the sweetness of coffee. Xinglong people love coffee deeply, and even breakfast requires fried dough sticks and coffee.
Xinglong cafe, just like the teahouses in Chengdu, has long become an indispensable part of life. In coffee shops of all sizes, you can always see ordinary people drinking coffee leisurely and talking about firewood, rice, oil and salt. The leisurely and contentment makes us foreign tourists envious to our hearts.
