Day 2, Evening Experience the vibrant atmosphere of the night market
As the sun sets and visitors return from the outlying islands, walking into Linwang Night Market along the glow of lanterns, one is instantly enveloped by the warm, bustling atmosphere of the streets. The lights from various food stalls intertwine, and signs for seafood stalls, barbecue grills, fresh-squeezed juices, and refreshing tonics light up one by one in the twilight. To the left is a charcoal-grilled oyster stall, where garlic and chili sizzle enticingly on the hot plate; to the right, at the mango stand, the owner’s knife moves with a swift, precise motion, carving the golden flesh into a plump, blooming flower. With a gentle evening breeze in the air, we sit down casually with friends, raise our glasses, and chat—what lingers on our taste buds at this moment is not just the fresh, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors of the food, but also the vibrant, warm, and down-to-earth atmosphere of this island. -

Rent a car and drive along the Taiyang Bay section, hailed as the “most beautiful coastal highway.” Before your eyes, waves crash against the rocks; in your ears, the mountain breeze whispers softly. With verdant mountains on one side and the shimmering South China Sea on the other, every turn is like a painting.

Day 3, Afternoon Deep Breath in the Rainforest
The final stop on our road trip is Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park. The moment we step into the rainforest, the hustle and bustle suddenly fades away, leaving only the tinkling of a mountain stream and the distant chirping of birds. Vines hang like curtains from century-old banyan trees, and sunlight filters through the layered foliage, casting shifting patches of gold onto the ground. Stepping onto the Guojianglong Suspension Bridge, your footsteps slow to a crawl as the bridge sways gently—beneath you lies a deep, verdant valley, and ahead, a range of mountains. Upon reaching the summit of Lingyun Pavilion, the entire crescent-shaped Yalong Bay unfolds before your eyes. This majestic panorama, where mountains and sea converge, will bring this deep-blue journey to a perfect conclusion.
