Walk deeper along the Qilou Old Street.

In addition to the exquisite buildings and various shops on both sides, there are also many tourists on the old street. Most of them are shopping and eating, and there is basically no idle time on their hands.

Especially some century-old shops put tables and chairs outside. Many people get tired from shopping, so they order a cup of coffee and watch people coming and going on the old street.

Relaxing and comfortable, simple but without losing the pleasure.

In addition to tourists, there are also many residents who live on the old streets, riding electric bicycles in and out of the alleys.

If you look into the alley, you can see a lot of messy old wires and shabby old windows, which look a bit like residential buildings in slums in the city.

However, this is really not a slum.

As a provincial capital city, Haikou’s housing prices are not cheap given the tourism bonus.

As a special area, Old Street has a strong commercial atmosphere, and there are also sentiment bonuses and tourist bonuses, so the housing prices will be even more expensive.

It has the characteristics of a courtyard house in the capital.

Zhao Fei took the two sisters and continued walking deeper into the arcade, while introducing: "The overall area of ​​the old street is about two square kilometers.

Now we can see nearly a thousand two-story arcades of various sizes.

After more than 100 years of ups and downs, even though it was of high quality and well maintained when it was first built, time is the most powerful weapon.

Therefore, many arcades here are rather dilapidated, with walls peeling off and wood rotted by rain erosion.

As for why we can't see it now.

That's because in the past few years, the relevant departments in Haikou specially repaired large areas of the arcades in the old street, and then restored the arcades to their former glory.

It also allowed us to see and feel the century-old cultural customs of Qilou Old Street. "

Zhao Fei's voice slowly sounded in the live broadcast room. Although the surrounding shouts and the voices of tourists seemed a bit noisy, Zhao Fei's voice still sounded uniquely in the live broadcast room.

Then Zhao Fei pointed to a rather special building in front of him and said, "Take a closer look. Does that building feel familiar?"

Hearing this, Mai Mai and her sister followed Zhao Fei's hand.

"Don't tell me, it looks a bit familiar." Mai Mai frowned slightly.

My sister looked at the building in front of her and seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

Zhao Fei smiled and reminded: "It has something to do with the movie."

"Ah, I remembered."

My sister said in surprise: "It seems that the movie Youth of the National Master was shot here."

"Yes, this is Guoxin Book Garden." Zhao Fei touched his sister's little head and nodded.

Mai Mai also suddenly realized.

She has also seen this movie.

Now if you take a closer look, you can see that it is really the filming location of the movie Youth.

This movie tells the story of the youth of boys and girls in the fragrant era. In the second half, friends from the art troupe who have been separated for many years meet again here...

The three of them walked forward quickly and saw Guoxin Bookstore on a corner of the old street. The store didn't look very big. After pushing the door and walking in, they felt the fragrance of coffee.

The interior of Guoxin Book Garden is surrounded by rows of tall bookshelves attached to the wall, filled with various books and surrounded by many works of art.

There are also many photos and portraits hanging on some empty walls.

In the middle of the interior, there are many tables and chairs, and there are even tourists sitting among them, drinking coffee, reading books, and turning around to see the old street outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Especially the quaint architecture here, stepping into it gives people the feeling of traveling back to a coffee shop in the 50s and [-]s.

The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy.

"This place feels so relaxing." My sister sighed.

"Yes, not only is the smell of books strong here, but there is also soothing music. Drinking coffee, eating pastries, and reading books here are very beautiful." Mai Mai said.

"Yes, this is a combination of a bookstore and a coffee shop. There is also an art museum on the second floor and a restaurant on the third floor."

Zhao Fei pointed to the wooden stairs not far away and continued: "Let's go, I will take you around."

"Uh-huh."

“It’s such a stylish place, I definitely want to visit it.”

The two sisters followed Zhao Fei. Along the way, they saw antique bookshelves and handicrafts...

Especially the atmosphere here is very relaxing and comfortable.

Mai Mai casually took out a book from the bookshelf. It looked like it was an old book that had gone through the vicissitudes of history, and the cover was a little yellow, and he flipped through it casually.

The soft sunshine outside the window shone on her body.

The little girl Mai Mai, who is sometimes naughty and cute, is also made elegant and moving.

Then the three of them went up to the second floor.

Relatively speaking, as an art museum, the second floor looks more elegant and spacious, with more paintings hanging on the surrounding walls.

All kinds of oil paintings, ink paintings, and even sketches... everything is available.

The literary atmosphere has improved a lot on the second floor.

The third floor is an art restaurant. It not only has some local specialties, but also has many cultural objects placed in display cases, as well as antique tea culture.

It can be said that this Guoxin Bookstore is very suitable for people with a quiet personality who like to read and study.

Even staying for a day is not unusual.

Because relatively speaking, whether it is the restaurant on the third floor or the cafe on the first floor, they are equivalent to condiments. The main focus here is a strong artistic atmosphere.

It is very different from the traditional restaurants we have seen before.

It's almost eleven o'clock now, so the three of them don't plan to go anywhere else for lunch.

And I got up late today and had breakfast late.

So the three of them were not very hungry.

The three of them casually ordered some tea and snacks and sat for a while.

"It's really laid-back here. Looking at the three anchors, I'm really envious of a lazy person like me, not to mention there are a lot of books here.

Even if you just give me a mobile phone, I can sit here all day. "

"It's a bit inappropriate to play with mobile phones here. Such modern technology products are not in line with the artistic atmosphere here."

"Don't worry about reading or looking at your mobile phone. Just enjoy tea and cakes here and look at the bustling crowds on the old street below. It will be very comfortable."

Especially suitable for thinking about things. "

Zhao Fei glanced at the barrage, picked up the bamboo rice jelly noodles in his hand, and said: "If you have plans to come to Haikou, you must try this jelly.

It has high nutritional value and is difficult to eat in ordinary places. It contains not only bamboo rice, but also red dates...

It doesn't sound like much.

But you should have heard that a phoenix cannot live unless it is a phoenix tree, and it cannot eat anything but a bamboo tree.

The so-called bamboo fruit in this sentence is actually the fruit produced by bamboo, which is the bamboo rice I just mentioned. "

"Bamboo also has fruits?" Mai Mai was a little surprised.

My sister also raised her hand: "I knew bamboo shoots were edible. Aren't bamboo shoots the fruit of bamboo? Why are there still bamboo rice?"

"Who said bamboo shoots are the fruit of bamboo? This is not a concept. Bamboo will bloom and bear fruit only once every five or sixty years, and the seeds in it are the real bamboo rice. So relatively speaking, it is much rarer than bamboo shoots.

Not only does it have high nutritional value, but it is also difficult to collect. The jelly we drink now is brewed from bamboo rice, so you can eat more. "

"Hehe, of course." Mai Mai nodded.

My sister didn't say much, she didn't even use a spoon and just picked up the bowl.

In addition to bamboo rice rice noodles, Zhao Fei also ordered some soft and fragrant pork rolls for the sisters, spicy and refreshing stir-fried goose and radish, delicious beef balls cooked in beef soup, etc.

The three of them didn't plan to eat too much, and wanted to save their stomachs.

When I go shopping in the old streets, I buy something whenever I encounter something.

But Zhao Fei is really good at picking things up.

Half an hour later, the sisters left Guoxin Bookstore feeling full.

I can't eat anything.

"They say that Guoxin Book Garden has a rich artistic atmosphere, so why are we so full?" My sister patted her belly and joked.

"It's not our fault, who made the food inside so delicious?"

Mai Mai smiled and continued: "Let's go, we've just finished eating and let's continue shopping and eat while we're at it."

It was already noon, and logically, the sunlight on the streets would be very hot.

However, the importance of the corridors of the old street became highlighted at this time.

Walking in it, not only does the sun not come in, it is also very cool.

That's great.

After that, the three of them came to the pedestrian street of Zhongshan Road. Although this pedestrian street is not very big, it contains most of the attractions in the old street.

For example, the style exhibition hall in the old street, the Nanyang Culture Experience Center, the Cultural Center... Mrs. Xian Memorial Hall, Xitian Temple, Wusheng Temple, etc.

In addition, there are many shops on the pedestrian street.

Most of the products sold are Sunny Island specialties, such as coconut oil, brocade, agarwood, etc.

Along the way, the three of them also bought a lot.

The most important thing is that many store staff here are girls wearing cheongsam, including tourists, who are also dressed in the Republic of China. If you don't look carefully, you will feel as if you have traveled to the Republic of China.

The sense of experience is immediately full.

“It’s worth mentioning that the tourist check-in spot in Old Street is Thean Hou Temple.

Thean Hou Temple is also called Tianfei Temple.

It covers an area of ​​more than 1000 square kilometers and is divided into a vestibule, a main hall and wing rooms on both sides.

It's a bit like the courtyard house we are familiar with.

But there are some differences.

The reason why Thean Hou Temple is a must-visit check-in place is because Thean Hou Temple is so famous. It can be said that most people in the Dragon Kingdom should know about the concubines enshrined in it.

If you are a little confused when you hear the name Tianfei, then you will always know "Mazu". "

Zhao Fei's voice slowly sounded in the live broadcast room. As Mazu, the protector of Sunshine Island, this person has a very high status, and the Tianfei Temple in front of him is also the largest Mazu temple in Sunshine Island.

It is also a representative building in Haikou, Haikou.

When you get closer, you can smell the rich scent of incense inside.

There is also an endless stream of tourists coming and going.

At the same time, everyone in the live broadcast room suddenly realized after hearing Zhao Fei's explanation.

"Let me tell you, when I first heard about Tian Fei, I was still a little confused, but as soon as you mentioned Mazu, we all understood."

"God bless Mazu. Although I am not from Sunshine Island, my family also lives by the sea. My father often goes to sea. Please bless my old man and make him safe every time he goes to sea."

"Speaking of going to sea, I have a classmate whose family also has a sea business. At first I thought it was fishing or something, but later I heard that people go to sea once and rest for ten years.

I was so confused that I asked him how much money he made from a trip to sea.

People say, 7000 million...US dollars.

I was so numb that I asked again... What exactly does your family do?

People tell me, tinker with oil.

Damn it... From then on, I never talked to him again, and my phone calls were all deleted.

Damn... your family is so rich, you still use my toilet paper when you go to the toilet, and you squeeze out my shampoo every time you wash your hair.

I was very proud at the time, but now that I think about it, it turns out that the fool is me.

However, we are classmates after all. Now that I have met Mazu, I will also help him ask for blessings and bless his family's business to prosper. It is best if he can think of me and give me a call.

We are really brothers, we have been having a hard time recently..."

Looking at the many comments in the live broadcast room, Zhao Fei smiled and said nothing more.

Went into Mazu Temple with our two daughters.

As the protector of the sea, Mazu can be said to be the ocean god of Xinyang for all people along the southeastern coast of the Dragon Kingdom and even the East Asian coast.

Whether they are boatmen, crew members, passengers, or fishermen, all these people originally believed in this god.

After all, in ancient times, Sunshine Island was lacking in resources.

Among them, people living by the sea basically made a living by going out to sea to fish. The technology at that time was not developed, so the danger of going to sea was also rising.

Whenever there is bad weather, the ship will basically be destroyed and people will die.

Therefore, before going to sea, people will beg Mazu for blessing. This custom has not been discontinued even today.

This is also the reason why Mazu Temple is so popular.

When the three of them stepped inside, the first thing they saw was the cultural exhibition hall of Thean Hou Temple.

Although in a special era, this Mazu temple was severely damaged, it is still red walls and glazed tiles after repairs.

Overall it looks magnificent.

There are also various vivid wood carvings on the eaves and beams.

There are also many murals painted on the surrounding walls, including auspicious clouds and cranes, green bamboos and landscapes, children and old people... etc., whether it is movements, expressions, or the overall layout.

They are all exquisite and beautiful, which makes people marvel at them at a glance.

After the three of them entered the main hall, they were attracted by the statue of Mazu enshrined in the middle.

The Mazu statue is surrounded by strong incense, and even because of the strong incense all year round, the rich fragrance has penetrated into every stone brick and every wooden stake here.

In front of Mazu Temple, there are many tourists and locals kneeling down to worship and offering incense.

However, live broadcasting in this kind of place is still not good.

Therefore, Zhao Fei deliberately lowered the live broadcast camera and did not take pictures of the whole body of the Mazu statue. Even if Zhao Fei does not believe in these things, he still needs to have the respect he deserves.

As the saying goes, nothing in the world comes out of nowhere.

Since something exists, it must have a reason for its existence. You don’t have to believe it or agree with it, but there is no need to directly deny it.

Just treat it with a normal mind. (End of chapter)
