Hainan's Little Guilin is no longer a secret

More and more people are likely to learn about this place, but I'm actually quite reluctant to see that happen. Starting from the reservoir, there's an informal guard who doesn't charge a fee but requires registration. We don't know which department the information is given to after registering. This place is no longer deserted; there's even a restaurant opened nearby, thankfully not too many. There are portable toilets, which is an improvement over the past as there's water available for flushing and handwashing. Last time we came, it was almost just the two of us. This time, there are locals (or perhaps not locals) who have set up simple sunshades on the lawn, and you can sit down as long as you buy their coconuts. I saw the flocks of sheep and cows again. The sheep were herded too quickly, and I couldn't capture a close-up, only a distant view. The cows were grazing right beside us, and among the herd, three cows had bells hanging from their necks, creating a pleasant jingle as they moved. I love this feeling! But the cows urinating was quite a sight, a big puddle that was rather startling. With more people, there are now boats, and the fishing environment has deteriorated significantly. In the past, we would fish in the afternoon, which was when the big fish ate the small fish, and we could catch big ones. This time, after changing spots several times, we ended up catching 6 small fish, which we took to the restaurant to be cooked. I just hope people will protect the local ecology and remember to clean up their own trash before leaving.
