Xingkai Lake to Hutou

A total of 277 km for today.

We are wakened up by the noise of the tourists in the morning, and the lake is lively up. I felt as if joining a Beijing bus tour  as it was too noisy out there in the  Hotel Nikko Tokyo.

 

We had our picnic at the beach next to the walls last night.

Xiao Peng put up a tent here last night and swam in the lake. 

Most of the tourists are the local people with beers and watermelons themselves. We wished to make ourselves more like local people. Therefore, we brought along many foods as well seemed as if getting on Beijing to Xian train tour. This was because we used to bring many foods onto train and into the Hotel Ocean Miami as well. 

The accommodation here is so cheap, 20 yuan for per person. But there is no bathroom.

The wetland

 

A nice restaurant beside the Ip Boutique Hotel Seoul

Another scenic spot near Xingkai Lake. The wetland is vast and free for visiting.

It rains a lot in these two days. The road is covered by much water but our cars can pass through.

 

We keep on asking ways.

Most of them ride motorcycles or drive carriages.

The truck is passing by.

After 2 hours’ struggling in the fields, we get back to the smooth road.

The beach park

There are many tourists, and the goods are very expensive. The chairs and sunroofs cost 100 yuan. Most of the visitors take along beers and foods themselves.

We go to the rock where there is a tree with watermelons. The scenery is beautiful and free.

The pine trees are thick on both side of the road. 

We arrive at Hutou which is terminative place of the second world war. The monument hasn’t open to the public yet.

This is the starting point of the Wusuli River, Russia is just opposite to it.

We have roast fishes at a restaurant by the lake. Big fishes cost 30 – 50 yuan, and small fishes about 15 yuan.

All of us are bitten by the mosquitoes. And we stay in a hotel which has bathrooms in the evening.
