Nyonya Kebaya-A taste of Malaysia

Southeast Asian food is really delicious. It tastes great, is full of flavor, and has bright colors. It looks good and tastes good.

The much-anticipated January 25th viewing schedule is out! Friends can refer to the schedule to visit. Please note that the schedule is not daily. The viewing times also vary each day. There are 21 days of peak viewing in January. Don't go to waste! ------------------------------------------------- Many guests have asked about good restaurants in Beihai. Here are two recommendations: No. 89 Fishing Boat Seafood Stall: Their signature dish is the secret-recipe golden crab; ordering a set meal is the most cost-effective.

Listen to my advice! Don't wander around Wanning! Follow my itinerary and you'll be bombarded with questions on your social media feed! Day 1: Start with a sloppy start and own the beach. Get enough sleep in the morning before heading straight to Shimei Bay! The deserted beaches are white, and it feels like walking on clouds! ☁️ Rent a lounge chair, order a coconut water, and just stare at the ocean. It's 100 times more comfortable than the crowded Wuzhizhou Island! In the evening, watch the sunset at the Westin Beach. The orange sunset glow casts a shadow on the sea, and the photos you take with your original camera are all stunning! Day 2: First experience surfing + a delicious food spree In the morning, go to Riyue Bay to learn surfing! 🏄‍♀️ Don't be afraid of falling! The instructor is super patient, and you can stand up and take a video in just two hours! ~ For lunch, you have to indulge in "Nanyang flavors." Just order the Qingbuliang and curry beef brisket. They're so delicious! In the afternoon, go to Fenjiezhou Island for Instagram-worthy photos. The white church and the seaside boardwalk are out of this world! Day 3: End the day at a slower pace, and take some local specialties on a trip. In the morning, visit the Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden, smell the aroma of the cacao trees, and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed Xinglong coffee. ☕️ At lunch, head to the Nyonya Overseas Chinese Restaurant for Hainanese noodles. The ingredients are so numerous, it's impossible to mix them all! In the afternoon, head to the supermarket for Xinglong coffee and coconut candy as souvenirs—cheap and authentic! ⚠️A word of caution: Don't buy overpriced seafood on the road! For rental cars, opt for an electric car; the Ring Island Road is incredibly easy to navigate! Wanning is truly a relaxing paradise; the pace is so slow you won't want to walk. #WanningTravel
