I have loved the sea since I was a child, and I have longed for the leisure life of walking on the beach. Although I have seen the sea several times in recent years, I have always passed by in a hurry. The desire to get close to the sea has always been there. Didn't happen. It was not until this summer that I finally had the opportunity to go on vacation to the beach with my husband. In early August, my son happened to go to Beijing to study, which gave me a chance to break away from my role as a housewife, so I drove to a small seaside town with my husband for vacation. After more than five hours of bumpy driving, we arrived at the seaside town of Xingcheng.
Xingcheng is an ancient city that was built in the fifth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty. It is the most complete ancient city of the Ming Dynasty in China and a rare and typical northern flat city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The city is square, with each side about 840 meters long. It is built with blue bricks on the outside and huge stones on the inside. The base is 6.8 meters wide, the top is 4.5 meters wide and the height is about 10.1 meters. It has four city gates. The south gate and the west city tower now exist. It was being repaired when we arrived. The four streets in the city intersect with each other, and there is an ancient tower in the middle. Climb the tower to get a bird's eye view of the whole city. You can have a panoramic view of the simple and elegant Ming Dynasty street and the Zushi Stone Square that Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem about. On both sides of the street are small shops selling a variety of goods. The shops have a wide range of items, and people coming and going stop in and pick out their favorite items.
After leaving the ancient city, we turned around the cross street and saw a straight and wide asphalt road. Since it had just rained yesterday, the street was washed clean by the rain. A steady stream of cars were driving slowly on it, and our car was also caught in it. The trees along the sidewalks on both sides of the road are lush and green, blocking out the sun. The further you walk, the more pedestrians you see. Every time you walk, you can see scattered vendors selling swimming items under the shade of trees. People are gathering in front of the stalls to choose swimsuits.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at the beach, so we found a private sea-view apartment near the beach and stayed in it. In front of the apartment is a cross street with a fountain in the middle. Follow the street in front of the fountain and walk 500 meters further to the main entrance of the beach.
You can look at the sea from the bedroom of the apartment. The water in the fountain will erupt every one or two seconds. Dozens of water columns erupt together like fairy flowers, which are more than two meters high. People who have returned from the beach are surrounding the fountain. Rinse body. Both men and women, young and old, are all dressed in the same way. Men are naked on the upper body and wearing swimming trunks on the lower body. Women are wearing various styles of swimsuits. Everyone plays freely and enjoys it. They also swagger and walk around on the street from time to time. , it is a beautiful scenery in this small town.
As I was tired from the journey on the first day, I didn’t want to go into the sea, so I didn’t wear a swimsuit and walked along the beach. It was almost dusk, and the tide began to rise. The waves rolled up in waves like a mountain, and without paying attention, my dress got wet. I simply threw my shoes to the shore and walked barefoot on the golden beach. on the beach. It is loose and soft, as if walking on a carpet, itchy, very comfortable and comfortable.
When my niece and I were having fun at the beach, suddenly my head and neck seemed to have been hit by something. A burst of pain came over me. I touched it with my hand and found that my hair and neck were all covered with fine hair. Fine sand, so not only was I very annoyed, but looking around, I found out the reason, and I was about to have an attack. When he turned around, he saw two little boys of five or six years old, each holding two sticks of sand in their hands, looking at each other. The children's head, face and body were covered with sand, with only two sticks exposed. The big black and bright eyes were spinning, and there was a trace of naughty smile in them. Seeing the innocent appearance of the children, the anger that rose in my heart disappeared.
Facing this blue and clear sea, I couldn't help but run into the water. The waves chased me like naughty children, kissing my toes and tickling me. The soles of his feet, slapping my legs, and making "giggles" laughter from time to time. I am determined to catch the little waves. When they were not paying attention, I ran over and squatted down, trying to catch the little waves in my hands, but the clever little waves slipped through my fingers again."
In the evening, We returned to the apartment, stood on the landing and looked up. The sea, which had been churning all day, was like a tired child, lying quietly under the golden sky, breathing softly and wanderingly, connecting the ocean and the sky. Together, looking at this large expanse of bright, crystal blue, my mind has become wider. The silvery moonlight is rolling in the waves of the sea, like rolling snow waves coming from the sky, and like the waves under the water. All the fish swam to the surface of the water and came out to "shine Lin" in the light of the full moon. "
The next day, when we got up early in the morning, my husband and I couldn't wait to go to the sea. At this time, the sea surface was shrouded in gray mist. The sky and the sea were connected, and it was no longer clear where to go. It's the sky, not the sea. The waves kept coming and going, leaving colorful small shells on the coast. I bent down and stared at each side, looking for a person with sound limbs. The little crabs were rolling in the waves. I hurriedly caught them with my hands, and I really caught them. In this way, I caught four little crabs at once, which was a great harvest.
After breakfast, We are going to visit Juhua Island. Juhua Island is located in the southeast of Xingcheng. It is long and gourd-shaped, wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, lying diagonally in the sea.
With an area of ??13.5 square kilometers, it is the largest island in Liaodong Bay. Taohua Island was originally called Taohuapu. Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, Prince Dan of Yan fled to the island on a peach blossom to escape persecution from the Qin State. Hundreds of years later, because there were many peach blossoms on the island, it was renamed Peach Blossom Island.
Boarding the ship bound for Peach Blossom Island, standing on the deck, looking far into the distance, the light blue sky and dark blue sea water are connected together at the end of Tianshui, forming a sea and sky. Wonderful sight. The rippling blue sea is sparkling under the sunlight. The breeze blows and the sea surface floats slightly, like pieces of shiny blue brocade being shaken open.
Forty minutes later, we landed on Peach Blossom Island. There are fishermen living on the island, and there are restaurants, hotels, and shops all available. Although it is not bustling, it is very convenient. I took a sightseeing bus and walked more than ten miles to Dalonggong Temple. Is the temple undergoing repairs at this time? In addition, I was not interested in the temple, so I didn’t go in. Instead, I chose to walk back along the seaside road.
An asphalt road is built along the sea. On the right side of the road are green mountains, and on the left side is the coast. Between the road and the sea is a green belt with tall trees, green grass, and all kinds of unknown things. The famous little flowers are embellished among them, which is really beautiful. There is a cobblestone path in the middle of the green belt, and at intervals there is a viewing platform built with wooden planks. The wooden plank road built from the viewing platform extends to the seabed. There are reefs of various sizes protruding from the seabed. , sit on the reef, put your legs in the sea water, a cold and refreshing feeling spreads all over your body instantly, and listen to the sound of the waves hitting the reef, like a piece of beautiful music, which makes people feel fresh and comfortable.
Walking along the cobblestone path in the forest, the gentle sea breeze blows by, and a wisp of fragrance mixed with flowers and plants hits the nostrils. Take a deep breath and say, "Hi!" People feel refreshed and relaxed. I was fascinated by the natural scenery, so I kept dancing and doing different dance movements while walking, while my husband took every opportunity to capture this wonderful scene with his camera.
In the afternoon, the beach was bustling with people. People wearing colorful swimming suits and pants were lying on the beach in twos and threes, like petals in thousands of flowers. The soft beach is very hot under the sun, like a mother's arms, warm and comfortable. Lying on the beach, simply bury the lower half of your body in the sand, breathing in the cool and slightly salty water vapor, resting your head on your hands, looking up at the deep blue sky, watching the white clouds, it is very comfortable. , my mind suddenly broadened, and those annoying and trivial matters disappeared without a trace along with the sea.
Since I can’t swim, I didn’t dare to enter the deep water area at first. I just played in the shallow water area. Unexpectedly, a wave came and knocked me down heavily on the sand stall. Before I could I stood up, and then the second wave hit me head-on again, and a stream of salty seawater flowed down my throat and into my stomach. "Hey" this sea water is really bad to drink. This time I didn't dare to be slow, so I quickly climbed up from the sand stall and walked to a position where the water level was the same as my height.
Pushed by the waves, I inadvertently floated into the water higher than my height. Since I can’t swim, the water level exceeded my height, and my feet could not reach the ground. Although I used my limbs I kept sliding and couldn't return to the original point, and a trace of fear came over me. Just when I was nervous and helpless, I felt someone behind me gently pushing the lifebuoy with my hand, so I slid into the shallow water like a fish. Actually, I don’t have to be afraid, because my husband, who can swim, is always by my side. Had fun all afternoon. In the evening, the tide began to rise, and we returned to our base.
