Travel diffuses the warm elements in human nature.
?—Bi Shumin "We can take a boat from Beihai to Penang!" When it comes to Penang, this joke is hard to get past.
The entire Penang is divided into Penang Island and Seberang Perai Province by the Penang Strait.
Butterworth is in the northern district of Seberang Perai, where the bus station and train station are located.
Take the bus from Ipoh to Butterworth, transfer to the shuttle bus, and follow the crowd to the port to take the ferry to George Town.
I booked a B&B in Little India for accommodation, but the real scene and the seller’s show were completely out of tolerance.
There was a mixed bag of guests. The landlady was Chinese. When she saw the girls we were traveling with drinking with a few foreigners, she reminded us not to drink with other people. Some people would take advantage of the situation and drug them.
You should have basic safety awareness when going out.
There will always be a heavy rain in the evening, and the rest of the time it will be exposed to the sun.
So I hid in the museum during the day and wandered around at night.
We bought a general package for three museums and took photos of each other at each photo spot. We picked out the ones that could be posted on WeChat and complained to each other about the ones that couldn’t be made public. This is also one of the joys of traveling.
After coming out of the museum to the specialty shop, I made eye contact with a cute young lady, and then they both looked up to the sky and laughed in a tacit understanding, leaving everyone else confused.
Because when I opened the curtain, I watched the little sister walk out of the refrigerator.
You can imagine how popular Penang is.
After the rain, the sultry heat in Penang was washed away.
Walk along the Surname Bridge in the sunset, look at the interesting gadgets, and chat with the old lady selling popsicles in front of her house.
The Surname Bridge is composed of many bridges with different surnames. On both sides of the bridge are Chinese people who settled here in the previous generation.
Most of today’s generation only visit their hometown once or twice in their lifetime.
CF Food Court is located across the Surname Bridge.
The snack market is surrounded by many stalls, so you can eat whatever you want without stepping on the wrong side.
A stage was set up in the middle. In the evening, you can enjoy the seamless switching of Chinese, English, Ma, Min, and Cantonese songs, giving you a sense of déjà vu in the 70s disco live.
Some market managers and stall owners are very humorous and cute, and chatting casually makes it feel very relaxing and fun.
There was a stall owner at the door who introduced a very local attraction: Avatar Secret Garden.
Avatar Secret Garden is near Tua Pek Kong Temple and Haizhu Island.
In the afternoon, we visited the Gong Temple to escape the heat. In the evening, we enjoyed the sea breeze on the Haizhu Island seawall, drank beer and ate seafood. In the evening, we went to the Secret Garden to see the large-scale light scenery.
Unexpectedly, this was the only place on this trip where I almost called the police.
The water on the shore of Haizhu Island is a little turbid, but looking at the vast sea in the distance can still calm your mind.
The emotions I originally carried slowly disappeared with the waves.
Solitary trees grow along the extended seawall.
We planned to sit down at the end of the seawall. While walking, Mr. Hui's hand was knocked and his phone slipped down the crack in the rock and was lost.
Then the crowd around them saw a strange sight: four people lying on the rocks in various weird postures and peering into the crevices.
After debating for a while whether to call the police, I finally found a group of Chinese, Indian, and Malay boys from a nearby shop on the beach.
I used various tools such as wooden sticks and flashlights, and lay down in various positions for more than an hour, but I was still helpless.
It was getting dark at this time, so we decided to forget it. Before leaving, they said they would try again tomorrow and if we picked it up, they would help us courier it back to China.
After we parted, we went to have a seafood dinner to calm down.
After eating, I took a walk and found that there were still some lights on the rocks. The "Three Kingdoms Mobile Phone Rescue Team" was actually still working hard to search for mobile phones.
The moment I climbed up the rock, the whole crowd suddenly cheered. A dozen people used wooden sticks as thick as four arms to lift the rock and successfully rescued the lonely mobile phone.
At that moment, there was a strong mixture of surprise and emotion.
I was moved by the warmth I encountered in a foreign country.
