Chapter 1771

"These souvenirs are so unique. I'll take them back and give them to my friends. They will definitely like them." Li Xiao said happily, holding a shell wind chime.

Zhang Yuedong also selected a few coconut sculptures and nodded in agreement: "Yes, these things can be kept as souvenirs and can also let friends feel the customs of Hainan."

Lin Yifei bought an agarwood bracelet, put it on his wrist, and said with a smile: "This agarwood bracelet smells really good. Wearing it makes me feel more elegant."

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed orange-red, which contrasts with the sparkling sea, forming a beautiful picture. Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei strolled on the beach holding souvenirs in their hands, feeling the sea breeze and recalling the wonderful experience of the day.

"We are so happy today. Yalong Bay did not disappoint us." Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, this day's trip was full of surprises and joy, which made me look forward to the next trip even more."

Lin Yifei smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be more fun places waiting for us later. Let's enjoy this trip together!"

In this beautiful evening, they ended a wonderful day in Yalong Bay with full of happiness and memories. They knew that this wonderful journey was still going on, and more surprises and beautiful scenery were waiting for them to discover and explore.

Explore the ends of the earth and pursue romantic legends

On the third day, the sun was shining brightly. Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei embarked on a new journey with a yearning for the mysterious Tianya Haijiao. Along the way, they were full of expectations, and the romantic legends and magnificent scenery of Tianya Haijiao kept emerging in their minds.

"I heard that the rocks at the End of the Earth are particularly spectacular, and there are many touching love stories." Li Xiao said excitedly while sitting in the car.

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also know that it is the place where ancient scholars were exiled. It is full of the vicissitudes of history. This time we go there, we must experience it carefully."

Lin Yifei smiled and said: "Whether it is history or legend, I can't wait to see it with my own eyes. Maybe we can leave beautiful memories there."

The car slowly drove into the scenic area, and the fresh sea breeze with the unique smell of the sea blew in their faces, instantly refreshing them. Walking along the winding path, the coconut trees on both sides swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if warmly welcoming their arrival.

After a while, the view suddenly opened up, and a vast beach appeared before them. In the distance, two huge stones stood on the seashore, with four powerful characters "Tianya" and "Haijiao" engraved on them respectively. The sunlight sprinkled on the stones, emitting golden light, which contrasted with the azure water and white beach, forming a dreamlike picture.

"Wow, that's the legendary Tianya Haijiao Rock. It's so shocking!" Li Xiao excitedly pointed at the stone in the distance and shouted loudly.

Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei were also deeply attracted by the scene before them, their eyes full of amazement. They quickened their pace and walked towards the stone, their hearts filled with awe and yearning for this magical place.

Standing in front of the "End of the World" stone, Li Xiao gently stroked the words on it and said with emotion: "I have only seen it on TV and in photos before. I didn't expect it to be so shocking to see it with my own eyes. It feels like this place carries the emotions and stories of too many people."

Zhang Yuedong also nodded and said, "Yes, the ancient scholars who were banished here must have felt helpless and melancholy when facing the vast ocean. But now, this place has become a symbol of people's pursuit of romance and eternity."

Lin Yifei looked at the sea and said thoughtfully: "I think the ends of the earth are not just a geographical concept, but also a yearning and pursuit for beautiful things. Just like our trip this time, we are also pursuing our beautiful memories."

The three of them took a group photo in front of the Tianya Haijiao Rock, wanting to freeze the beauty of this moment forever. Afterwards, they strolled along the beach, feeling the fine sand flowing under their feet and listening to the sound of the waves hitting the coast, feeling extremely comfortable.

On the beach, some tourists were having fun, some were sunbathing, and some were taking photos. There was a joyful atmosphere everywhere. Li Xiao saw someone playing beach volleyball, so he suggested excitedly: "Let's play beach volleyball for a while. We haven't exercised for a long time. It's a good time to stretch our muscles."

Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei both agreed, so they joined a beach volleyball game. They were divided into two teams, running, jumping, and hitting the ball on the beach, with laughter and joy echoing throughout the beach. Although their clothes were soaked with sweat, the smiles on their faces became brighter.

After playing for a long time, they lay down on the beach chairs and ordered a few glasses of cool coconut juice. While tasting the sweet coconut juice, they admired the beautiful scenery around them. Not far away, a group of children were building sand castles. They used small shovels and small buckets to build castles full of childlike fun, with innocent smiles on their faces.

"These children are so happy. Looking at them, I feel like I'm back in my childhood." Li Xiao said with a smile.

Zhang Yuedong also said with emotion: "Yes, childhood is always so carefree, full of happiness and beauty. I really hope we can always maintain this innocence."

Lin Yifei joked: "Then let's build a sand castle, maybe we can get back to our childhood."

So the three of them joined the team to build the sand castle. They scooped up the sand with their hands and built a big castle. They also inserted some shells and branches around the castle as decorations. Looking at their "masterpieces", they all laughed happily.

Before they knew it, it was already noon and their stomachs started to growl. The three decided to try some local snacks. They came to the snack street near the scenic spot and saw all kinds of snack stalls on both sides of the street, with fragrant aromas that made people salivate.

"Wow, there are so many snacks here. I don't know what to eat." Li Xiao said with a conflicted look on his face as he looked at the dazzling array of snacks.

Zhang Yuedong pointed to a stall and said, "Why don't we try the Hainan rice noodle first? I heard it's one of Hainan's specialties."

Lin Yifei also nodded in agreement: "Okay, add some roast suckling pig and coconut cake, it's delicious just thinking about it." They ordered a few Hainan noodles, roast suckling pig and coconut cake, found a place to sit down, and began to taste these delicacies. Hainan noodles have a smooth texture, and with delicious soup and rich side dishes, the taste is very unique. The roast suckling pig has a crispy skin and tender and juicy meat. Take a bite and you will feel full of happiness. The coconut cake exudes a rich coconut fragrance, with a delicate taste, sweet but not greasy, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

"This Hainan noodles is so delicious. It's completely different from the noodles I've eaten before." Li Xiao praised the Hainan noodles while eating them.

Zhang Yuedong also ate with gusto: "This roast suckling pig is even more unique, with crispy skin and tender meat, it is simply a delicacy on earth."

Lin Yifei has a special liking for coconut cake: "This coconut cake is amazing, full of coconut fragrance, I feel like I can eat several servings."

The three of them tasted the food and shared their interesting experiences and feelings during the trip. They talked about what they saw and heard at the ends of the earth and those touching love legends, and their hearts were filled with love and attachment to this land.

After dinner, they continued to play in the scenic area. Along the way, they admired the beautiful sea view and felt the charm of nature. Unconsciously, they came to a stall selling shell jewelry. The stall was filled with various shell jewelry, including shell necklaces, shell bracelets, shell earrings, etc. Each piece was exquisitely made and exuded a unique marine atmosphere.

"These shell ornaments are so beautiful. They are perfect to take back and give to friends as souvenirs." Li Xiao picked up a shell necklace, looked at it carefully and said.

Zhang Yuedong also picked out a few shell bracelets and said with a smile: "Yes, these shell ornaments are both beautiful and memorable. Friends will definitely like them."

Lin Yifei bought a pair of shell earrings for his girlfriend: "My girlfriend will definitely like this pair of earrings. She has always liked this kind of marine style accessories."

The three of them picked out some shell ornaments they liked, paid for them, and continued on their way. They strolled along the beach, holding the shell ornaments in their hands, feeling the breeze, and their hearts were filled with satisfaction and happiness.

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed orange-red, which contrasts with the sparkling sea, forming a magnificent picture. Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei stand on the beach, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, with a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"I'm so happy today. The End of the Earth really lives up to its reputation." Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, the beautiful scenery, delicious food and legends here are all unforgettable. This trip is really worth it."

Lin Yifei also smiled and said: "Yes, this is the meaning of travel. We not only saw beautiful scenery, but also experienced different cultures and lifestyles. I hope we can go to more places together in the future and create more beautiful memories."

In this beautiful evening, they ended their wonderful journey at the end of the world with full of happiness and memories. They knew that this wonderful journey was still going on, and more excitement and surprises were waiting for them to discover and explore.

Enter the Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone and feel the sacredness and solemnity
On the fourth day, Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei arrived at the renowned Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area. As the car slowly drove into the scenic area, the lush tropical vegetation greeted them, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of plants and trees, as if they had stepped into a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

"This Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area is indeed a Buddhist holy land. The environment alone makes people feel much calmer inside." Li Xiao rolled down the window, took a deep breath, and said with emotion.

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, here are green mountains and clear waters, the sea and the sky are connected, it is simply a paradise on earth. No wonder so many people come here to pray, it really feels otherworldly."

Lin Yifei also looked out the window excitedly: "I can't wait to go see the Guanyin of the Sea. I heard it's very spectacular and must be very shocking."

They walked along the winding path, and the surrounding scenery was picturesque. The tall coconut trees swayed in the breeze, and the broad leaves rustled, as if telling an ancient story. In the flowers on the roadside, colorful butterflies danced, and the delicate flowers set off each other, forming a vibrant picture. Not far away, a clear stream gurgled, and the stream water sparkled silver under the sunlight, making a crisp and pleasant sound, like a beautiful piece of music.

"Look, Nanshan Temple is in front of us." Zhang Yuedong said, pointing to a magnificent building in front.

The three of them quickened their pace and arrived at the gate of Nanshan Temple. Looking up, the three characters "Nanshan Temple" were vigorous and powerful, shining brightly under the sunlight. On both sides of the gate, two majestic stone lions guarded this ancient temple, giving people a solemn and solemn feeling.

Walking into Nanshan Temple, the incense smoke curls up and the sound of Buddhist chants echoes, making you feel as if you are in a Buddhist world. In the main hall, the golden Buddha statue is solemn and majestic, looking down at all living things with a compassionate gaze. The believers put their hands together, kneel down and pray devoutly, chanting something in their mouths, with tranquility and peace on their faces.

"The atmosphere here is so different that it makes people become pious involuntarily." Li Xiao said softly, afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

Zhang Yuedong also nodded in agreement: "Yes, in such an environment, I feel that my soul has been purified."

Lin Yifei carefully observed the Buddha statues and murals in the hall and exclaimed: "The craftsmanship of these Buddha statues and murals is so exquisite. Every detail is portrayed vividly. They are simply treasures of art."

They strolled in the temple, admiring the ancient buildings and exquisite Buddha statues. From time to time, monks walked by, wearing robes, holding prayer beads, with light steps and serene expressions, giving people a sense of otherworldly temperament. In a quiet courtyard, they saw an old monk copying scriptures attentively, with the sun shining through the gaps in the leaves on him, forming patches of golden light, and the scene was peaceful and beautiful.

"Master, sorry to bother you. We would like to ask, what is the core concept of Buddhist culture?" Li Xiao asked the old monk politely.

The old monk raised his head, looked at them with a smile, and said slowly: "The core of Buddhist culture lies in compassion and wisdom. Compassion is the care and pity for all living beings, and wisdom is the insight and understanding of all things in the world. Through practice, we can cultivate compassion and wisdom, and thus achieve inner peace and liberation."

The three of them nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Yuedong then asked, "Then how can ordinary people like us practice Buddhist culture in our lives?"

The old monk said gently: "In fact, practicing Buddhist culture does not necessarily have to be bound by form. In life, keep a kind heart, do more good deeds, care for others, and respect life. This is the embodiment of compassion. At the same time, learn to let go of obsessions and face the gains and losses in life with a peaceful attitude. This is the application of wisdom."
