The bus drove back to the East Line Expressway and arrived at the Miao Village in Li Village one hour later, giving Yunluo and the An sisters the opportunity to get close to each other and experience the customs of the ethnic minorities in the southern country.

The island Li Village Miao Village is "the place closest to heaven." This is a beautiful, primitive land. The simple Li Village Miao Village people live a quiet life isolated from the world. Men, women, children, trees, flowers and plants, everything is so natural, harmonious and pure.

The group walked into the Miao village under the guidance of the tour guide and truly experienced the life of the Miao village people in the Li ethnic village of Coconut Forest.

First of all, what is presented to us is a village gatehouse with a minority architectural style, with large cow head sculptures hanging on it. Strictly speaking, this is not a place where the local Li and Miao people really live, but a scenic spot built in imitation of the living customs of Li and Miao people.

The Li and Miao people are the first and second largest ethnic minorities on the island respectively. They usually live in the central and southern mountainous areas of the island. If you want to experience the true ethnic customs and want to know what the Li people’s “Five-colored rice” and “pinch ears” are, you must enter the copycats for Li and Miao people’s lives.

However, most of these real Li Miao villages have high mountains and long roads, and the transportation is inconvenient, which is unattainable for ordinary tourists. Yun Luo held An Chuyu with his left hand and pulled An Qingju with his right hand into the village. He felt that the village was very beautiful. The coconut forest and betel nut forest concealed the Li family. The beautiful buildings of the Miao family were simple and quiet, and were filled with the unique primitive atmosphere of ethnic minorities in the border villages of the southern country.

In front of a small building, more than a dozen Li family girls were singing songs and clapping hands to welcome the arrival of Yunluo and the An family sisters. In fact, Yunluo and the An family sisters couldn't understand what they sang. When Yunluo and the An family sisters walked to the stilt house, a large group of Li family girls rushed up enthusiastically, pulling you into the house while "pinching your ears".

Faced with this situation, Yunluo and the An family sisters already knew what to do next, because the tour guide had already introduced the customs and things to pay attention to in the Miao village in Li Village on the bus. If the Li family girl "pinched her ears" and pulled her into their dormitory to be a temporary groom, it would be charged 50 yuan at a time. Yunluo and the An family sisters refused them like most of the guests here.

While walking through the village, Yunluo and the An family visited the Li family's dormitory and the Miao family's small building; admired the Li family's handmade Li Jin and the Miao family's batik; watched the bamboo pole dance performed by the Miao family's princes and Amei.

Li Village Miao Village is a microcosm of the folk customs of the island Li and Miao. The environment here is simple and quiet, with small bridges and flowing water, and a strong pastoral atmosphere. The coconut trees in the village are stout and stubborn, and the betel nut trees are tall and tall. The green bamboos stand tall and jade, and the palm trees are firm and healthy. The palm sunflowers are lush and broad. It is a microcosm of the folk customs of the island Li Miao.

Most of the houses in Li villages are ship-shaped houses with thatched roofs and wooden boards (a few are mud walls). Because they are built against the mountains, the smart Li family has built many stilt houses according to local conditions. The seasons here are like spring, with bright sunshine, fresh air, lush trees, and various tropical plants compete for beauty, which is the most beautiful and romantic combination of nature.

The entire village presents a simple and couture style. It has become a paradise that everyone yearns for. Because this is just a imitation attraction and the village is not big, Yunluo and the An family quickly ended their visit here. At 10:30 pm, they bid farewell to the Miao Village in Li Village and continued to move towards Xinglong.

Xinglong is a famous hot spring town on the island, with beautiful tropical scenery here. The seaside is quiet and beautiful, and it is the second stop for Yunluo and Anjia sisters. Xinglong is a must-stay for any tourists who come to the island for a night. Why does Xinglong attract so much tourists? Because Xinglong has four more: that is, there are many overseas Chinese, many plants, many hot springs and many ladies.

Plants mostly refer to these rare species introduced from abroad at the risk of risk, such as rubber, pepper, coffee, cocoa, vanilla orchid, etc.

Most hot springs refer to the red land of the island not only suitable for the growth of the above economic crops, but also lead to three: many volcanoes, many minerals, and many hot springs; one of the four major hot springs on the island is Xinglong sulfur hot spring water, which has a constant temperature of 43 degrees every year. It has certain therapeutic effects on skin diseases, arthritis, and bone hyperplasia.

The most amazing thing is that there is a kind of kissing fish living in hot spring water, which is specially used to bite the aging horny skin and dead skin on the surface of the body, which feels very good. Ladies are divided into three categories; one is real lady, one is fake lady (a red artist), and the other is real lady and fake lady (transgender person).

Any tourist who arrives in Xinglong almost cannot do without three things, that is: eating Xinglong coffee, watching the red artist party, and soaking in mineral hot springs. Yunluo and An’s sisters are naturally no exception. After a while, they left the Miao Village in Li Village. Yunluo and An’s sisters entered the largest overseas Chinese farm in China, Yiran Coffee Factory in Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm to taste coffee.

Yiran Coffee Factory was founded in the mid-1950s. It was originally developed from a small workshop made by individual hand-roasted to this day. It has been going through ups and downs, and it has now owned a six-story composite ecological factory and coffee plantation.

"Yiran" brand Xinglong Coffee is one of the excellent brands of traditional Xinglong Coffee. In addition to retaining the traditional handicrafts and unique production formulas of Southeast Asian roasted coffee, it also introduced modern and advanced equipment to make coffee, and successfully developed many new flavors of coffee products.

On the farm, Yunluo and Anjia sisters not only tasted a variety of Yiran coffees, but also visited Yiran Coffee Garden, but also visited the processing workshop of Yiran Coffee Factory through the glass curtain wall. Of course, all the staff of Yunluo and Anjia sisters also purchased various series of products from Yiran Coffee Factory.

In the 1980s, coffee was synonymous with fashion. Many people thought that coffee was all imported products, but they didn't know that there was a trace of it on the magical land of the island Xinglong.

Coffee has many functions; eliminates fatigue and is flexible in mind; helps digestion and prevents gastric sagging; breaks down fat and controls weight; removes oral odor, and caffeine has the effect of eliminating garlic flavor. Therefore, after tasting garlic dishes, remember to drink coffee; promotes blood circulation. Coffee can improve heart function, make blood vessels moderately expand, and blood circulation is good.

The headache is calmed and the spirit is relaxed; it helps sober up, and caffeine can promote liver and kidney function. Therefore, drinking coffee after drinking can promote the glyoxylate changes of alcohol, decompose into sulfur dioxide and water, which can help sober up, etc. In addition, the island tree on the island is coconut tree, the island stone is crystal stone, and the island tea is bitter tea.

Island drinks are coffee, which once again shows that coffee plays an important role in the island. Yunluo brought large bags and small packages purchased from the farm and moved to Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden.

Only when you go to the island can you truly see the tropical scenery: not only are there green coconut forests, banyan trees that lead silk and climb vines, pleasing to the eye, exotic flowers and plants, sweet and fragrant fruits; there are also birds singing and flowers everywhere, colorful everywhere, and full of vitality everywhere.

Even ordinary grass and trees seem to be infusing the world when they arrive at the island. They are particularly graceful and colorful. Even those plants that never bloom in the mainland will compete for beauty on the island, blooming all kinds of beautiful flowers, which is amazing.

The Tropical Botanical Garden is located in the hot spring scenic area of ​​Xinglong Town. It has a tropical monsoon climate and is like spring all year round. The Botanical Garden is the earliest tropical botanical garden to be opened to the public. The Botanical Garden is surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery, covering an area of ​​32 hectares, and brings together more than 1,200 tropical economic crops. It is a rich species and beautiful garden landscape.

A comprehensive tropical botanical garden with scientific research, popular science, sightseeing and plant germplasm protection functions. It is known as the "Pearl of Tropical Scenic Spots". It is immersive, with green seas, birds singing, and a faint fruit fragrance. The fresh world makes people feel refreshed and lingering.

Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden is a national 4a-level scenic spot. The park is divided into six exhibition areas. It is the tropical ornamental flower and tree area, the vanilla orchid test demonstration base, the coffee test demonstration base, the pepper test demonstration base, the tropical special forest area, and the tropical typical fruit tree area.

Yunluo and An Chu met An Qingju and entered the garden. They really came to the tropical plant kingdom. The wonders of nature are colorful here, with countless names and rare names.

In the tropical special tree area, you can see a variety of precious tropical species, such as the "secret weapon" of killing, the "green coral" single tree, the "living fossil of life" cycad, etc.

The leaves are like peacocks with their open hair, native to Madagascar, Africa. The long petiole has a leaf sheath that can store water, like a bottle filled with rainwater. Pedestrians only need to dig a hole in the leaf sheath, and sweet springs will gush out. To relieve travelers' thirst, it is called the "life-saving tree" for travelers.

Sandalwood, known as the couple tree, is named because it must be with host plants such as the Western Golden Phoenix to grow normally. Its heartwood can be used as a stomach-enhancing and hemostatic medicine, and can also be made into expensive handicrafts. The famous sandalwood fan is one of them.

There is also a kind of chandelier tree. Every March and April, when the flowers bloom, purple flowers with yellow edges are like crisp wind chimes, floating in the wind, which is very charming. When it is the peak fruit, the huge fruit drags its long tail (fruit shank) upside down on the branches, which looks like a cannonball that "falls from the sky". Therefore, some people call it "cannonball fruit".

The tree called "mysterious fruit" is indeed a bit mysterious. Its fruit is like a "sausage" hanging from the tree. It is long. Just pick a fruit and it is not sour or sweet when eaten. It seems that there is nothing special about it. However, after eating sour food or drinks, you can feel a strong sweetness.

And it can be kept in the mouth for several hours, because the pulp contains mysterious ferment (a glycoprotein).

There is also a kind of rain tree that will "rain": whenever you stand under the tree in the early morning, you can feel raindrops falling down. It turns out that this tree and mimosa belong to the same family, and the leaves are like mimosa. Whenever night falls, dew drops condense on the leaves, and the leaves immediately close and wrap around the dew drops.

In the morning, when the sunlight shone into the dense forest, the leaves stretched and stretched, and the dewdrops dripped and "light rain" fell, which was very interesting.

The island has many fruits and is delicious. In addition to coconut, longan, banana, and papaya, there are many rare fruits on the island: jackfruit, dragon fruit, ginseng fruit, wax, star fruit, guava, betel nut, rambutan... You can see it when you go to the tropical botanical garden.

The first is the fruit queen jackfruit. It is one of the most famous fruits on the island. Its appearance is somewhat similar to durian and has a strong smell, but jackfruit is much sweeter. Jackfruit fruits are all very large, usually weighing 20 to 30 kilograms.

It is said that the largest one is more than 100 kilograms. No wonder the big jackfruit that Yunluo and the An sisters saw were either hung on the tree branch or leaning on the wall. Otherwise, how could the not-so-thick tree trunk bear such heavy fruit?

There are also strange things. It is said that the coconut trees only grow leaves but not bear fruit after leaving the island. This may be a bit too much, but there are indeed many coconuts on the island. The islanders do not bring water when they go out, and the fresh and sweet coconut milk can be drunk everywhere.

There are also lemons in the botanical garden, with light yellow single-petal flowers. They grow very thinly, not like they can bear fruit, but they are also fruitful. I heard that cocoa is a variety introduced by returned overseas. The rising cocoa garden is the largest in China, but I never imagined that the fruit of cocoa will grow like a papaya, and it is even more unheard of.

There is actually a watermelon growing on the trees here - "iron watermelon". I don't know how it tastes. Many tropical plants do not grow on the branches like apples and pears, but on the trunks, and inexplicably bear a fruit, and it hangs leisurely to the ground, just like jackfruit.

The Tropical Botanical Garden is worthy of being a world of flowers and a sea of ​​trees. In the tropical ornamental flower and tree area, you can view lychees, frangipani and traveling cannas known as the "desert sweet spring", as well as a variety of tropical ornamental flowers and trees such as Mizai Lan, leaf-changing wood, wind and rain flowers and dragon-spitting beads.

Here, Phalaenopsis, Clivia, lotus, flamingo flowers, colorful crusts, large and small dragon boat flowers, and pink new flowers compete for beauty; and some rare plants on the verge of extinction have also found shelter here.

Here, you can view unique tree species such as the dragon blood tree with the longest lifespan of the plant world, the hermaphrodisiac iron tree, the squid that had existed before the extinction of dinosaurs, the blood-sealed throat tree with extremely poisonous pulp, and some plants with extremely high economic value, not only coffee, pepper, vanilla orchid, and cocoa.

There are many things that have never been heard of (not to mention seeing): Turus scent, known as the "battlefield first aid kit", is one of the famous "three major ointments". The ointment flowing out of its tree body is pleasant and has high medicinal value, which can prevent inflammation and stop bleeding. It is said that during World War II, there was no medical treatment or medicine at that time, and it was used to treat the wounded.

The anti-cancer star island of Torreya, its tree contains trispinaline, which is an anti-cancer drug, mainly treats leukemia or lymphoma, and is a national key protected plant. It also has a future energy plant, called Yu Nan, which drills a small hole in its trunk and will flow out a yellow liquid similar to diesel, which can be burned directly without processing.

It is particularly worth mentioning that red beans, also known as acacia tree. Its seeds are bright red, shiny, and heart-shaped. They have been a symbol of love and friendship since ancient times and are deeply loved by people.

Wang Wei, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, once left a popular poem: Red beans grow in the south, and they will bloom a few branches in spring. I hope you can pick them more, and this thing is the most missing. The red beans mentioned in the poem can be seen everywhere on the islands, and young people like to give them as tokens to friends and lovers.
