Going to Sanya

It is Thursday. Yellow-7 Thursday-8 (Kamis Pon 15). Along the night to morning I found that the wind was so strong. It was tropical cyclone Wipha passing. In the morning we still in the hotel because it was showering.

We then check out of the hotel though it was still showering. We went to the Oldtown of Haikou at Datong (大同) Residential District. On the way some of the baggages dropped form the compartement. We stopped there for a while to pick up them. On the way the road was covered by water as effect of the tropical cyclone Wipha. We arrived there at 10:00. We made some selfie pictures in a limited area since the other was covered by water.

We went to Baoshutang (寳树堂) Shop and got there at 11:48. The chinese traditional medicine shop located on the basement of Sheraton Hotel. We were served with feet massage mechanically. Then, some of us were pleased to consult to Chinese traditional doctors. They actually wanted to sell their medicines. They told us that we were going to be unhealthy and needed their medicines. They were so expensive. I refused to buy.

At 13:54 we had lunch in Traditional Fishermen Village (好百年渔民新村). We were not served with seafood but the dishes were tasty.

We then went to Desa Bali (巴厘村）in Xinglong (兴隆）area. Desa Bali is a tag name of a South Asia Village. The village is dwelled by overseas chinese (huaqiao 华侨) that once lived in Southeast Asia and at the years around 1960 they were back to China. They maintained the culture they got from the origin countries. The government then sell their habit as a tourism commodity. In that place I met a man named Ambar. He was sent by the Government of Indonesia to help the Government of China to develop the tourism spot.

At 19:25 we arrive at a resto close to Lingshui for dinner. The resto was spacious. We served with good dishes.

We then went to pedestrian street where a night market was located. To get there we were charged CNYuan60 by the tour leader. We arrived there at about 20:00. The market located close to the intersection of Xinfeng Street (新风街) and Jiefang Road (解放路). Various items were offered there. I bought some, one of them was a traditional cloth for Ailin. I, Tri Heryanto, Risna, and Indari also shared to taste a portion of seafood fried rice. It was tasty. At about 21:00 we continued to go to the hotel.

We were overnight in Guoxi Hotel (果喜大酒店, Sanya. I and Tri Heryanto again shared a room, room 821. The room was nice. Town of Sanya (三亚市) is the second biggest town in the Hainan Province (海南省) after Haikou ((海口市)
