Day 1：The Mid-Autumn Festival on the road
第1天：在路上的中秋节

We set out after the breakfast at 8 o 'clock on October 4th.
The day of departure just be the Mid-Autumn festival, and the Mid-Autumn festival with my parents on the road is also interesting. It is said that the place where there are parents is called as home. Because the driving distance from Guizhou province to Fangchenggang, Guangxi province is about eight hours, so we are on the way on the first day, we have lunch in the service area of Nanning, Guangxi province. We eat some bread and snacks which are prepared by my mom in the car when we are hungry. Mom's snacks are enough to cover the whole trip, there will be no shortage of mooncakes!
The scenery along the way is very beautiful! From Guizhou province to Guangxi province, blue sky and white cloud are all the way even if the departure at first is a cloudy day of rain, the sky is still showing blue with changable clouds, then which cluster into various objects. Along the way, the sky and the landscape make the long drive distance less difficult, more vivid and more valuable.
It was already night when we arrived at the hotel of Fangchenggang, so we went to bed after taking a shower, keeping sufficient energy to meet the official trip next day.

10月4日早上8点吃过早餐就出发啦~

启程的那一天刚好是中秋节，与爸妈在路上的中秋节也是有滋有味，所谓有爸妈的地方就是家。由于从贵州到广西防城港的车程大约8个小时，所以第一天基本都是在路上的，午饭是在广西南宁的服务区解决的，在车上饿了就吃妈妈备的一些面包零食，有妈在就不会饿！妈妈备的零食足以撑够整个旅程~月饼当然是不会少的！

一路上的景色非常美！从贵州到广西，一路上都是蓝蓝的天白白的云，即使出发的刚开始是阴天有雨，天空也依然透着蓝调，挂着变幻莫测的云朵，簇成千姿百态的物体。一路上天空和景色呈现的景观，让漫长的车程变得不再难熬，多了生动和价值。

到防城港酒店的时候已经是晚上了，洗洗就睡了，养足精神来迎接第二天的正式旅行。

Day 2：White wave Beach & Sanniang Bay
第2天：白浪滩 & 三娘湾

At first, We went to the White wave Beach. The experience in white beach is not very good, It seems not to be suitable for swimming, may be the time is wrong. The sea water is very dirty that day, no one swam, we walked a circle in the sea, the legs are all sand, so we can't go swimming. Then, we took the photograph on the beach, ate the seafood porridge and seafood fried rice noodles on the shore, and we decided to Sanniang Bay after lunch.

吃过早餐，就奔赴景点白浪滩了。在白浪滩的体验不是很好，似乎没有网上说得那么适合游泳，可能是来的时间不对，当天的海水非常脏，根本没有人下水游泳，我们下海里走了一圈，腿上都全是沙子，看样子是没办法下水游泳了。于是，在海滩上进行拍照留恋，在岸边简单地吃了如图的海鲜粥和海鲜炒粉，饭后就决定转战三娘湾了。

When we arrived at the parking lot of Sanniang Bay, we met a local villager and said she could take us in, so we followed her to a hot seafood restaurant on the seaside. After choosing fresh seafood for dinner in the seafood restaurant, we went to the seaside to enjoy the scenery.
The overall feeling that Sanniang Bay give to me is simple and primitive, the sea of Sanniang Bay is also very cloudy, not suitable for swimming, but its characteristics is that there are a lot of fishing boats stopped on the sea park, if you can come here earlier, you can follow local fishermen to fish, you will can see the dolphins if lucky enough. Fishing boats and calm seas form a beautiful landscape, even the sky is the shape of "love you".
After playing photographs, we began to have dinner. Looking at unique seascape, blowing wind, eating seafood, a few chickens passed occasionally, what kind of experience which is? Maybe it's about flying yourself, haha!
After dinner, we began to return to the hotel. The second day was over.

到达三娘湾停车场后，遇到当地村民说可以带我们进去，于是我们跟随她顺利地来到一家海边生意红火的海鲜店。在海鲜店挑选新鲜海鲜作为晚餐之后，我们就到海边观赏景色了。

三娘湾给我的整体感觉是淳朴和原始的，三娘湾的海也很浑浊，不适合游泳，它的特色在于海面上停有很多渔船，如果早一些来可以跟着当地渔民出海捕鱼，幸运的话是可以看到海豚的。众多渔船和平静的海面构成了一道复古的风景线，连天空都是“爱你”的形状。

一番玩耍拍照之后，我们就开始用餐了，看着别具一格的海景，吹着海风，吃着海鲜，旁边还时不时出现几只鸡，这是一种怎样的体验呢？大概就是放飞自我了，哈哈！

饭后开始返回宾馆，第二天的行程就结束了。

Day 3：Gold Beach& Dongxing Port
第3天：万尾金滩 & 东兴口岸

In the morning on third day, we had breakfast in the restaurant next to the hotel, which is with characteristic of Guangxi, because a lot of dessert are we don't seen before, so we ordered a lot, all the food are indeed delicious, and finally we packed food that can't be ate.

第三天早上在酒店旁吃的早餐，是一家比较具有广西特色的连锁店，因为很多甜点都没见过，所以我们点了很多，味道还是不错的，最终没吃完的打包带上路了。

After breakfast, we started to go to Dongxing, through a long bridge over the sea. I have to say, the view of the driver on the bridge is really fantastic! (I was driving for the first time after I got my driver's license). There is a famous scenic spot in the middle of Fangchenggang and Dongxing - Gold Beach, and a famous seafood market. The water in the golden beach is not very clear, but it can swim and the waves are very big. I couldn't help but run away in the sea, as if I was floating in the sea, and I nearly can’t leave in the waves until my skin had traces. However, the result of crazy surfing is to be sunburned in the autumn.
After showering and changing clothes on the shore, we came to the seafood market, tourists are usually buying seafood they want in the seafood market, then processing seafood in the restaurant, the restaurants around the market process seafood specially, you can choose steamed, Fried, etc., they can cook well. The price of this seafood market is relatively low, and the variety is relatively whole, so very famous. Here, you can see a lot of big seafood and eat the seafood well!

早餐过后，我们开始前往东兴，途径一座很长的跨海大桥。不得不说，在跨海大桥上，驾驶座的视野真是超棒呀！（这是我在拿了驾驶证之后第一次开车出行）。在防城港和东兴中间位置有著名的景点——万尾金滩，还有著名的万尾金滩农贸海鲜市场。金滩的海水不是很清澈，但可以游泳，海浪非常大，在这冲浪非常爽！情不自禁往越来越深的海里跑去，仿佛飘飘然地拥抱着大海，在浪里飘着不愿意离开，皮肤在海里泡出印子后，才不得已上了岸。然而，疯狂冲浪的结果就是在秋季晒成高原红。

在岸边冲澡换衣后，来到了万尾金滩农贸海鲜市场，通常游客都是在这个海鲜市场买了想吃的海鲜后，拿到旁边的大排档进行加工，周围大排档都是专门加工海鲜的，会按顾客的意愿进行蒸、炒等，味道挺好的。这个海鲜市场的价位是比较低的，品种也是比较全的，所以非常出名，在这可以看到很多海鲜加大版，可以把海鲜吃得爽爽的！

Day 4：Eat in Dongxing & on the way home
第4天：吃在东兴 & 归途

Dongxing city and Vietnam are separated from the Beilun river, so you can apply for Vietnamese visa at Dongxing travel agency one day in advance, and you will be able to carry out a one-day trip to Vietnam next day.
Since we will return next day when we arrived, so it's a pity that we have not been able to go to Vietnam, experience the Vietnam customs, we can only see the port and see the "little house" of Vietnam in the far side of the river.
Although we are not able to go to Vietnam, Dongxing port is also worth visiting, In the port, there are many Vietnamese people selling some Vietnamese special products and tropical fruits. Because the tropical fruits of Vietnam are cheaper, you can eat the durian, sakarah and the big mango as many as possible here.
In the morning on the 4th day, we went to a breakfast store with Vietnam characteristics, we ordered the bread, chicken rice noodles and the spring rolls as shown in figure, ingredients are same as we usually eat at home, but the way to cook has very big difference, Vietnam bread for me is still unforgettable.

东兴城和越南间隔着北仑河，可以提前一天用身份证在东兴的旅行社办理越南签证，第二天就可以顺带进行越南芒街一日游了！

由于我们到达东兴的第二天就要返程，所以很遗憾没能去到越南，感受越南风情，只能在东兴口岸看看严严实实的通关口，在遥远的河对岸看看越南的“小房子”。

虽然没能去到越南，但是东兴口岸也是值得一逛的，口岸有很多越南人在摆摊，卖一些越南特产和热带水果。由于越南的热带水果比较便宜，所以在这里，榴莲、释迦果和大芒果都可以敞开吃！在口岸完全分不出越南人和东兴人，长相和口音都没区别呀！

最后一天早上，我们去到东兴一家具有越南特色的早餐店，点了如图的越南面包、越南鸡粉、越南春卷，食材和我们平时在国内吃到的差不多，但是做法还是有很大差异的，越南面包对于钟爱面包的我至今难以忘怀。

After breakfast, we set out on our way home, and the journey to Guangxi ended with a meal of Vietnamese characteristics.
早餐过后，我们就踏上归途了，广西之旅就以越南特色的一餐结束了。

Travel tips in Guangxi:
广西之旅小提示：

1.If you want to visit the dolphin's in Sanniang Bay, you must reserve the room in Sanniang Bay in advance! Because the fishermen are going out to sea in the morning. Since Sanniang Bay has not yet been developed completely, there are fewer rooms available online, which are very popular in the holidays, so be sure to advance!

1.想去三娘湾看海豚的朋友，一定要提前预定三娘湾的房间！因为一早就要跟着渔民出海。由于三娘湾还没有完成被开发，所以网上能找到的房间比较少，在节假日非常抢手，所以一定要提前！

2.Pay attention to prevent sun! Don't be fooled by the season and the weak sun, the ultraviolet rays are very strong, or you will be sunburned in the autumn like me.

2.注意防晒！不要被季节和微弱的阳光欺骗，紫外线是非常强的，不然就会像我在秋季被晒成高原红。

3.If you want to travel Vietnam, remember to go to Dongxing one day in advance! You can apply for Vietnamese visa at Dongxing travel agency one day in advance, and you will be able to carry out a one-day trip to Vietnam next day.

3.想顺带进行越南游的朋友，记得提前一天到东兴！提前一天在东兴的旅行社用身份证加速办理越南签证，第二天就可以进行越南芒街一日游了。
