Some people like ancient towns, others like the sea, and I always have a paranoid love for islands.

traveling one island a year has become my promise to myself. In 215, in Hailing Island, one of the four famous islands in Guangdong, I ate seafood and enjoyed the sunshine and sea bath. In 216, I took a romantic trip to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, licking cats in a coffee shop with a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere and staring blankly in a literary building; In 217, I just want to quietly wait for the wind to come in Tianxingzhou, Wuhan, which is almost "" developed.

/ Tianxingzhou Watermelon, which is well known in Wuhan /

This year's trip to the island seems to have come earlier, originally for watermelon. The watermelons here are sweeter and have more water than those on the market, because Tianxingzhou is surrounded by the Yangtze River, and the soil is more conducive to the growth of fruits and vegetables. It's a pity that watermelon was not mature when I went, and I can eat authentic Tianxingzhou watermelon one after another in mid-May.

Tianxingzhou is a purely agricultural continent with no industry. It lives by planting cash crops. Different kinds of fruits and vegetables are planted alternately in four seasons.

The 18 million kilograms of melons and fruits produced every year are all listed by the only steam ferry here. In normal times, people have to rely on the ferry adjacent to the steam ferry to pick up and drop off.

The ferry in Tianxingzhou runs every hour, which is the same as the transportation mode in Gulangyu Island. If you are self-driving, you can drive directly to the next ferry. The sailing time of the ferry is not fixed, as long as it is full. After arriving in Tianxingzhou, you can also enjoy cycling around the island.

/ An island more original than Gulangyu Island /

On the day of traveling, Tianxingzhou was held in the arms by blue sky and white clouds and surrounded by high dikes, guarding this "virgin land".

On both sides of the road are green willows and mulberry trees whose branches are bent by fruits. From time to time, a group of birds pass through the sky, and there are rows of fishermen humming leisurely songs, waiting for the fish to take the bait, and the beautiful scenery of a quiet paradise comes to the fore.

Compared with Gulangyu Island, Tianxingzhou obviously has too much original ecology.

Wuhan has already entered summer mode in May, so it seems a little unreasonable to come to Tianxingzhou without playing with sand. I can't say anything, just go straight to the beach. I also met all kinds of wooden boats on the road, full of ritual. After a while, I saw the sandy beach with raised loess, and I couldn't help but take off my shoes and socks and have fun here with the children. At this time, if it is accompanied by a song "Loess High Slope", it should be more pleasant.

Although the desert in early summer is not as wide as that in September, it is also interesting. After the high tide, the beach area has been reduced by half, and it looks like a "fish" sleeping in the Yangtze River from a distance. After going to Qiu Lai for low tide in summer, Tianxingzhou will give you an endless desert.

/ I owe you a homestay by Erhai Lake, and I will give it back to you in Tianxingju /

If you are tired of playing, you can also eat and stay on the island. In the past, there was no habitable place on the whole Tianxingzhou, and it was not until the completion of Tianxingju in May 216 that this precedent was broken. Walking into Tianxingju, I have the illusion of being in Yunnan. Wooden doors, fences surrounded by wooden sticks, red brick walls, dripping water and grass and trees everywhere are simply quadrangles with high editions.

It happened to be dinner time when we arrived in Tianxingju. I saw a child shouting, I want to eat shrimp, I want to eat shrimp, and the shrimp here is the best. Indeed, the shrimps here are all clear water shrimps in the Yangtze River, and even the gills of shrimps are whiter than those in the market.

When you come here for dinner this season, it is natural to follow the season. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, eel and fish soup are all good meals.

You can have tea in the teahouse or have a rest in a nearby homestay after a full meal. Many people say that you must live by Erhai Lake once in your life, just because you can have a panoramic view of Cangshan Erhai Lake. In fact, the same is true of living in Tianxingju. You can see cotton-like white clouds through the glass roof during the day and count the stars to sleep at night. Pushing open the straw curtain is the countryside.

Seeing that the design of the B&B is so beautiful, I can't help asking the staff of Tianxingju to get to the bottom of it. The staff of Tianxingju told me, "Tianxingju was designed by Jiang Zhongqiu, a professor at the School of Art and Design of Wuhan University of Technology, and all the rooms were transformed from the original houses. Try not to destroy it, so there are some trees outside many rooms that you think are out of place. "

after a stroll, I can't help feeling that it would be nice to have a child. This place is perfect for parent-child travel, a paradise in Xiong Haizi.

Children can play games, play football, fish and pick fruits here. They really don't like it. They can also run on the beach with joy, soak their feet in the river when they are tired, and take a nap on the beach when they are sleepy. In short, they can do whatever they want ... how comfortable they are.
