Xinglong Town is a small town along the Sun River in the southeast coast of Wanning City, Hainan Province. It is a gathering place for expatriates from Southeast Asian countries and the first coffee town in China.
There are not many cars and pedestrians on the streets here. Coconut groves on both sides of the street, wide and clean roads, various styles of buildings and delicious food in different places all give me the illusion of living elsewhere.
First of all, the local characteristics of Hainan.
The locals speak Cantonese, but they are different. Because I can understand some Cantonese and listen to some local dialects.
Street restaurants specializing in Hainan cuisine, such as Hainan pork knuckle rice, beef brisket powder, Houan powder, etc. Basically, they are all opened by local people, which is easy to distinguish.
Secondly, the characteristics of Southeast Asia.
There is an overseas Chinese farm in Xinglong Town, which mainly grows coffee and becomes the first pillar industry in the local area, adding some petty bourgeoisie sentiment to this town.
Some scenic spots in Xinglong Town are full of Southeast Asian customs, such as Bali Village, Coffee Valley and Nanyang Restaurant. When you walk in, you seem to have entered Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. ...
Finally, the northeast characteristics.
Walking in the street, you can suddenly hear the Northeast accent, and you can always see the Northeast jiaozi and Northeast Hotel. This must be for the northeast people.
It is said that every winter, a large number of northeast elderly people come here for the winter. They usually come in the first year 10 and leave in the second year, which has formed a rule.
In addition, some people from Sichuan and Hunan come here, which can be seen from the small shops on the street, such as Chengdu Chuanchuanxiang and Hunan Restaurant.
Obviously, Xinglong Town is not a small town in the traditional sense, but a hodgepodge of characteristics of all parties.
This town is really unusual and worth visiting!
