County China Online Tour
sixty
( One of Hainan Province )
When I walked to Zhanjiang Xuwen on the Leizhou Peninsula in the Guangdong section of "County China Online Tour", I had the urge to cross the Qiongzhou Strait from Hai'an to visit the whole territory of Hainan, but considering that I had not yet completed my trip to Guangdong, I turned my head and headed north to Yunfu, Zhaoqing, and Qingyuan. Hainan is a place I've been to countless times and I want to go back to. Since I first arrived in Hainan in 1988, I can't remember how many times I have been there. From the beginning of the work trip; to the later time to go there from time to time for leisure vacations; to now, Hainan has become a must-go place for himself and many friends around him to play cat winter. I remember the first time I came to Hainan, Hainan had just established a province, and it can be said that from the new island small province on the South China Sea at that time to today's about to become the world's largest free trade port, we have witnessed the earth-shaking changes in Hainan. But even though I've been there countless times, I've never visited all the county-level administrative regions in Hainan. Now, the county god tour in Guangdong Province has ended, it is time to open the Hainan line god tour, and write a road book in advance for the Hainan global trip after the epidemic.
