The beauty of Sansha, where the heart desires.
In the long river of time, there are always some places, like shining pearls, exuding unique charm, making people dream of them. Sansha Town is such a place that makes people yearn for it. When I set foot on this land, it is like walking into a colorful picture scroll, every scenery tells its story, every corner exudes its charm.
On October 1, 2024, on this special day, I came to Sansha Town with anticipation for the unknown and yearning for the beautiful. When I first entered Sansha, the fresh sea breeze blew in my face, carrying a faint salty taste, instantly awakening all my senses. In the distance, the blue sea and sky meet, boundless, the clear blue makes one's heart feel cleansed.
Walking along the coastline, the soft and fine sand underfoot feels like a close contact with the earth. The waves keep hitting the coast, making a roaring sound, it is the symphony of nature, majestic and powerful. After the waves recede, a string of beautiful shells and small crabs are left on the beach, like gifts from the sea to the land, full of vitality and vigor. I bend down and pick up a shell, carefully observe its texture, and feel the breath of the sea. The pattern on the shell is like an abstract painting, telling the story of the sea and the vicissitudes of time.
The sunrise in Sansha is a stunning scenery. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight falls on the sea surface, the whole world seems to be awakened. The sky gradually becomes dyed with orange-red glow, and the clouds are also dyed with brilliant colors. On the distant sea level, the sun slowly rises, its warm light illuminates the entire Sansha Town, giving people a sense of hope and strength. I stand quietly on the beach, watching the sun rise little by little, my heart is filled with emotion. At this moment, time seems to stand still, only the beautiful sunrise and my inner peace.
In addition to the beautiful beach, Sansha Town also has an ancient fishing village. Walking into the fishing village, a strong breath of life comes to my face. The old stone houses are arranged in a staggered manner, and the walls are covered with green vines, giving a simple and warm feeling. The alleys of the fishing village are narrow and winding, like a maze, full of desire for exploration. In the alley, you can see the busy figures of fishermen, some are mending fishing nets, some are sorting fishing gear, their faces are full of simple smiles. The people here live a simple and fulfilling life, they depend on the sea for their livelihood, and use their hard work and wisdom to create a beautiful life.
Coming to Sansha, you must not miss the seafood here. Sansha's seafood is famous for its freshness and deliciousness, with a wide variety of fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish. In the seaside restaurant, you can taste the most authentic seafood feast. Tender crabs, plump shrimp, delicious fish, every dish is unforgettable. Sitting by the window, enjoying the beautiful sea view while tasting delicious seafood, it is an unparalleled enjoyment. The seafood here is not only delicious, but also affordable, allowing you to fully enjoy the feast of food.
Sansha Town also has many beautiful scenic spots. Among them, Liuyun Cave is a must-visit place. Liuyun Cave is located on the east wall mountain of Sansha Town, and it is a natural stone cave. The cave is full of strange rocks and stalactites in various shapes, which is very spectacular. Outside the cave is a beautiful seascape. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can overlook the entire Sansha Town and the vast sea. Liuyun Cave is not only beautiful in scenery, but also has a deep cultural heritage. It is said that it was once a Buddhist holy land, and many eminent monks practiced here. The Buddha statues and stone carvings in the cave witness the vicissitudes of history and the changes of time.
In addition to Liuyun Cave, Sansha also has many beautiful islands. These islands are like shining pearls scattered in the sea. Among them, Yushan Island is the most famous one. Yushan Island has beautiful grasslands, clear lakes and spectacular seascapes, and is known as "Sea Heaven Lake". Climbing Yushan Island, you can see the boundless grassland, the green grass makes you feel like you are in the Inner Mongolia grassland. On the grassland, cattle and sheep graze leisurely, giving a peaceful and beautiful feeling. At the top of Yushan Island, you can overlook the entire island and the vast sea, the magnificent scenery is breathtaking.
During my days in Sansha Town, I also met many hospitable locals. They use their sincerity and kindness to make me feel the warmth of home. They introduce me to the history and culture of Sansha, take me to taste the local food, and let me have a deeper understanding of this place. Here, I not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also feel the true feelings and warmth between people.
Time always flies by inadvertently. When I have to leave Sansha Town, my heart is full of reluctance. Every scenery and every person here are deeply imprinted in my mind, becoming a beautiful memory in my life. I believe that I will definitely come to this beautiful place again, and feel its charm and warmth again.
