399. Sea Gold Mountain (4)
The islands in the South China Sea are all very beautiful, and large islands like Golden Monkey Island are especially beautiful.
After getting off the pier, Ao Muyang walked up to a long and narrow shallow. The beach was made of shells and pebbles. The morning sun shone on it, shining brightly and beautifully.
However, this beach is beautiful and not very comfortable to walk on. The pebbles are too hard. If you are barefoot, it will hurt the soles of the feet. The broken shells are very sharp and can easily cut people's skin.
Like the island they had been to before, Golden Monkey Island is also the result of geological effects. It belongs to Stone Island. There is a small hill on the island, and a small path leads from the beach to the mountain, circling up like a sheep path.
Hotels and small restaurants were scattered by the sea. Ao Muyang casually found a house to ask, and the standard room cost 200 yuan a night, and several three-star hotels comparable to their county town.
The price is a bit high, but it is acceptable, Ao Muyang booked a small hotel, which would be enough to accommodate them all.
Ao Mudong was a little angry: "It costs 200 yuan to stay in a hotel in this place for a night? How much does it cost in our town? Fifty yuan!"
"That's right, the dragon head, isn't this obviously slaughtering people?"
"We don't live here, there are tents on the boat. At worst, we can go outside to set up a tent to sleep."
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Okay, stay here with peace of mind. I think the price is not expensive. On average, one person costs 100 yuan a night."
Seeing him speak, Ao Qianwen, who ran across the South China Sea, cooperated to explain: "The consumption on the island here is high, and there is no way. The island does not produce anything. Except for fresh water and fruit, grain, meat and clothing are transported from the mainland. The cost is high, and the price is naturally high."
Ao Muyang thinks the price is acceptable, the island environment is very good, just like a vacation island. Although this hotel is simple, it can be built with an island style. There is even a natural sea pit converted into a swimming pool in the backyard.
After putting down his luggage and cleaning it up, he put on sunscreen and went out, intending to walk around the island.
Such a large island is rare in the South China Sea. When he was on the boat, he saw that the island had a complex terrain, diverse environment and extraordinary customs.
The hotel owner was very talkative. When he saw him going out, he smiled and said hello: "Beautiful boy, are you going to climb the mountain?"
Ao Muyang said: "Yes, I see that the terrain of this mountain is quite high and the scenery should be good."
The boss nodded proudly: "It's absolutely great. Just go up and take a look. Our Jinshan is 110 meters above sea level, and many flowers and plants are something you can't see on the mainland. But you should be careful when climbing the mountain. We have snakes, especially pythons."
"Also," he glanced at the general who was following Ao Muyang, "You should be careful of your dog and be careful that it will bite the monkey. The monkeys here are protected animals."
Many of the monkeys on the island are rare species and are specially sent to the island for breeding.
Taking the general, Ao Muyang went out and walked up the mountain along the path.
Two-thirds of the area of Golden Monkey Island is occupied by mountains. This mountain lies on the sea, like a beast hiding, with its main peak facing the sky and piercing the sky!
The boss pointed out the way for Ao Muyang. There were many trails on the mountain, one of which led to a deserted military camp. The island had once stationed troops. Later, as the national naval strength continued to increase, such troops stationed on the island were no longer necessary. The task of patrolling the South China Sea had been taken over by the fleet.
The people on the island are also a little scheming. They want to try to develop the island's tourism industry, so they have protected the abandoned military camps and want to build a scenic spot to develop in the future.
There are few tourists coming to the island now because it is too far away from the land and there are no planes to transport tourists. It is not realistic to rely on boats alone. Few tourists are willing to endure a day and one night of sea voyage to the island to visit.
The island has beautiful scenery, with lush flowers and trees on the mountain, and the path is covered with cobblestones. There are emerald green bamboo forests growing on both sides. When the sea breeze blows, the bamboo forests are whispering.
The trees are lush and surrounded by greenery, and the entire mountain is a green world.
After all, the general is a land animal. He has been deeply tired of wandering on the sea these days. Now when he comes to the mountain, he is running around in the mountains like a wild dog that has ripped away.
There were many monkeys on the mountain, but Ao Muyang didn't meet them, but he encountered some lizards, pheasants and hares. The general went up and picked up a big lizard with a length of a child's arm, and killed the lizard on the spot.
Ao Muyang snatched it out and let it go. Golden Monkey Island is an island under the jurisdiction of the national scientific research department. It is not allowed to capture wild animals privately here.
The island has few people and has rules and regulations to govern, which makes the island show vitality.
There are countless wild birds in the dense forest. From the beginning of Ao Muyang's stepping onto the mountain road, the crisp birds cries kept ringing in his ears.
The pheasants and hares here are not afraid of people. Sometimes Ao Muyang comes through them in just a few steps, and they don’t go to escape, but stare at him cutely.
Seeing all this, Ao Muyang remembered the Dalong Mountain at home.
Compared to this golden mountain on the sea, Dalong Mountain, which is also surrounded by green shade, is no longer energetic, and all the chickens, ducks, birds and beasts have been captured cleanly!
Therefore, it makes sense that this mountain is called Jinshan. It contains endless resources. Once it can be developed, it is indeed comparable to a golden treasure.
Walking back, Ao Muyang even encountered a small group of wild goats. This was a rare thing. There were wild goats on Dalong Mountain before, but they were caught in his childhood.
Braving the vicious sun, he walked halfway up the mountain.
The sea breeze is flying here and the sun is shining brightly. When you stand up, you will see the vast sea. The bright waves are all in your eyes and are so beautiful.
The barracks are here, two rows of houses are built along the mountain, sturdy and low-key.
There is a flat land in front of the barracks, which may be a small playground, with several tall trees planted on it, with lush branches and leaves, and a height of more than ten meters.
The leaves of the trees are very large, green in color, and are in the shape of a bird palm. Gears are hung on the edges, covering each other one cluster after another, leaving a lot of green shade under the tree.
The sea breeze blew the leaves, and the leaves were clattering, causing green waves.
There were cement platforms and wooden stumps under the tree. An old man was packing his things in the barracks. After seeing Ao Muyang, one of the tall old men walked out and signaled him to sit on the stump.
The old man was about seventy years old and wore a white-washed old-fashioned green military uniform. He was tall and dark and rough, like the tall tree beside him.
There was a teapot on the cement platform. The old man brought out the teacup, poured two cups and handed it to Ao Muyang, and asked in standard Mandarin: "Young man, are you here to play?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "No, someone who eats sea food, come here to replenish fresh water."
The old man was surprised and said, "It's not like you. Your skin and appearance are like a tourist coming to vacation in the city, but not like a sailor."
Ao Muyang said, "Did I take good care of it? Haha, what about you? Judging from your accent, you don't look like you are from here."
