我还是出去旅行了。经过反复斟酌,我还是决定去海南旅行一次。但这次旅行可以说是有快乐又难过的时候。
到达海口市的第1天早上,我去了海口市的骑楼老街,可惜的是当天下了一些雨,走在街上有些孤独的感觉。但骑楼老街其实非常热闹,但是都是一些附加值不高的产业,有点像我的家乡南昌的万寿宫。街上有卖春联的,有卖各种小吃的,有卖宠物的,有卖装修材料的,有卖钟表和家用小摆件的,感觉非常热闹。我感觉这才是海口人民最真实的生活,而不是那些沙滩边凸起的豪华别墅,琳琅满目的国际免税城和鳞次栉比的购物商场。
下午我去了海口市的假日海滩,可能是因为下雨的缘故,再加上我去的时间段不是旺季,沙滩上的人很少,天气有些湿冷。我把我带上的小板凳放在沙滩上,静静地坐在那看海。大海的声音非常澎湃,和我脑海里那种温柔海浪轻拍海岸的印象截然不同。坐在海边感觉有些冷飕飕的,但是我突然感觉到了人生片刻的宁静。那一望无际的大海,远处有一些来来往往的航船,突然感觉到世界之大,突然感觉到个人的渺小。
在快到下午的时候,我遇见了我的高中同学,她在海南上学,带我去喝了海南当地的老爸茶。聊起高中的往事,突然感慨万千。下午我们依然去了假日海滩,但是我们在更远的地方走了一遭。又去了免税城,看了一些奢侈品。
第二天我去了海南省博物馆,偶遇一个旅游团有导游跟着讲解,深刻领悟了当地文化的魅力。在下午,我去了海口的云洞图书馆,那里是我旅行的终点。很快乐,我就这么安安静静坐在图书馆的椅子上,喝着咖啡,这一刻仿佛时间都停止了一样。
突然感觉人生最幸福的事也莫过如此,就是这么安静的,属于自己的思考时间。感觉整个世界都慢了下来。
晚上住了一个青年旅店,认识了一些有趣的朋友们。在晚上和他们一起去吃小吃。感觉似乎整个世界都不一样了。原来我还可以认识这么多新的朋友。
今天就写到这里吧,明天续一续流水账。

I still went out traveling. After much deliberation, I decided to take a trip to Hainan. However, this journey had its moments of both joy and sorrow.
On the first morning after arriving in Haikou City, I visited the Old Street of Qilou. Unfortunately, it rained that day, and walking down the street gave me a sense of loneliness. Yet, the Old Street was actually quite bustling, albeit with industries that didn’t add much value, somewhat reminiscent of Wanshou Palace in my hometown, Nanchang. The street was lined with vendors selling Spring Festival couplets, various snacks, pets, renovation materials, clocks, and small household ornaments, creating a lively atmosphere. I felt that this was the most authentic representation of the lives of Haikou’s residents, rather than the luxurious villas by the beach, the dazzling international duty-free city, and the rows of shopping malls.
In the afternoon, I went to Haikou’s Holiday Beach. Perhaps due to the rain and the fact that it wasn’t peak season, there were very few people on the beach, and the weather was somewhat damp and chilly. I placed the small stool I had brought on the sand and sat quietly watching the sea. The sound of the ocean was powerful and intense, quite different from the gentle lapping of waves against the shore that I had imagined. Sitting by the sea felt a bit chilly, but I suddenly experienced a moment of tranquility in life. The vast, endless sea with ships coming and going in the distance made me realize the enormity of the world and the insignificance of the individual.
Later in the afternoon, I ran into a high school classmate who was studying in Hainan. She took me to try the local “Dad’s Tea.” As we reminisced about our high school days, I was filled with a myriad of emotions. In the afternoon, we went back to Holiday Beach, but this time we walked further along the shore. We also visited the duty-free city and browsed some luxury goods.
The next day, I went to the Hainan Provincial Museum, where I coincidentally joined a tour group with a guide who provided insightful commentary, deepening my appreciation for the local culture. In the afternoon, I visited the Cloud Cave Library in Haikou, which marked the end of my trip. I was very happy, sitting quietly on a chair in the library, sipping coffee, as if time had stood still.
Suddenly, I felt that the happiest moments in life are just like this—quiet, personal time for reflection. It felt as if the whole world had slowed down.
In the evening, I stayed at a youth hostel and met some interesting friends. We went out to eat street food together, and it felt as if the whole world had changed. I realized that I could still make so many new friends.
I’ll stop here for today and continue with my travelogue tomorrow.
