The B&B is located in Tianao Fishing Village. After booking the room, the landlord asked us when the boat would arrive, helped to arrange a car to pick us up, and arranged meals.
🚐About transportation: We arrived at the island at about 1:30. When we were about to arrive, the driver called us to tell us the license plate number. We were picked up as soon as we got off the boat. On the way, he introduced the island's customs. He answered all the questions and was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. When we arrived, we just transferred the money to him. At this time, the landlord Aunt Hong was already waiting at the entrance of the village. She called my name as soon as she came up. She was very kind and surprised. She led my family all the way to the B&B and arranged for 8 of us to stay on the second floor.
🏘About accommodation: The B&B is in the middle of the village. The facade is different from other houses. The small courtyard is very unique. It is carefully designed at a glance. As expected, Aunt said that her son specially asked a designer to do it. We booked 4 rooms. Each room has a different style, but they are all very hygienic, the bed is clean and comfortable, and the cleaning is also very careful about the details. There are no disposable slippers. I will bring a pair of slippers next time I go.
🍚🍽About meals: lunch was ready when we went downstairs. I ordered the meal from the landlord the night before, and the chef went to the market to buy ingredients early in the morning. I have to say that the food was really good, the dishes were very rich, and they asked us where we were from and what we liked in advance. They arranged a wide variety of seafood, meat, vegetables, and soup, and the cooking methods were different. The taste was really amazing, and my family said it was delicious. We ate every meal at my aunt's house, and every meal was different. Even if it was the same ingredients, it would be delicious no matter how we cooked it! So for meals, I really recommend that you can get everything done at Auntie's house. We said we wanted to try the special seafood noodles, so we arranged it; we said the shredded potatoes were delicious, so we arranged different methods for the next meal; the seafood caught by the fisherman's house was all processed for us... During this period, we didn't have to worry about eating at all, and we even looked forward to eating. It felt like we didn't go anywhere, and we could be happy just eating at Auntie's house~
🚤🏖️About playing: After leaving the village, there is a beach facing the beach. There are some fishing boats moored on the beach. It is very quiet. Because it is the off-season and there are few people, our family temporarily "contracted" this beach and took aerial photos. It was very happy. There is a temple on the mountain next to it. It is said to be a branch of Putuo Temple. You can reach the foot of the mountain by crossing the road along the beach. It takes about half an hour to reach the temple by mountain road. It is not very big but very impressive. The next morning, Auntie arranged a fisherman's house for us, and a boat of people went out to sea on the sea opposite the village. The captain cast a net once, and it took about an hour to go back and forth. He caught a lot of small shrimps and crabs, and a half-man-high rice fish! The boat captain was so happy that he said he had made a fortune and took all kinds of photos. When he got home, Aunt Hong was also happy, saying that it was the first big fish in the fishing village this year. The villagers knew about it and immediately arranged for fresh ingredients to be prepared and helped to pickle several pieces to take home.
This trip to Shengsi surprised the whole family. It was really worry-free. As long as you have fun and eat well, Aunt Hong can take care of the rest for you. She seems to have been the village director and the first to take the lead in running a homestay. She is really more considerate and thoughtful. There is also a master chef with superb cooking skills, a villager uncle who accompanied me to release the fish... The people are beautiful and the food is delicious. Next time, I will stay at Aunt Hong's house for a few more days to experience the slow life~
