The Holiday Beach in Haikou
Since I was a child, I have dreamed of living in a luxury beach house where I could enjoy my life with nature. Last summer holiday, my friend Liang invited six friends including me to his hometown Haikou to enjoy a one-week vacation. The thing that impressed me the most during the vacation is the place where we stayed, an amazing beach named Holiday Beach. It is one of the most famous beaches in Haikou. While staying on Holiday Beach, I realized some true meanings of our lives.
Haikou, the capital city of Hainan province, is a famous tourist city in China. The city is located in the tropical coast and it has a variety of tropical resources and coastal scenery of the natural characteristics of landscapes. The Holiday Beach lies in the south part of Haikou City, covers an area of 54 hectares (not including the beach and sea) of the beach, 11 km away from downtown Haikou. It is an international tourist spot characterized by its natural sceneries. On the beach, Haikou people and visitors from all over the world can enjoy water sports, beach sports, ocean animal shows with their families and friends. Every year, there are a great many travelers who come to this eco-friendly beach to spend their leisure time close to nature.
When the gorgeous Holiday Beach came into my sight, I felt that I would have a relaxed and happy week there. The next day, my body and soul were greatly relaxed. I sat on the beach with my legs buried under the warm sand and enjoyed sunbathing; I listened to waves hitting rocks and seagulls singing. At the same time, I felt that coming to such a beautiful beach without family is a kind of regret. Seeing families taking photos and videos on the beach made me happy; looking at families playing in the seawater and sand together made me miss my family. However, my friends’ company made up for my regret. On the beach, we watched the wonderful dolphin shows and seal

    Paradise: Debut Albums and Beautiful Kudzu Vines

    The causeway we drove on was curved and tall enough for the sailboats below to pass under. As I looked down, I could see a group of beautiful condos on the shore. They contrasted brightly with the white sand around them, painted colors normally found in a box of crayons. I took in the sight of all the fancy high-rise condos and hotels, with a few beach huts sprinkled in between. We arrived at our hotel, and I quickly unloaded and unpacked my belongings. The beach was waiting for me.…

    Personal Narrative: Pilot Fish

    When admiring a coral reef in the middle of the day there is a calming sensation about being there. The fish and sharks are resting which establishes a peace amidst predator and prey. Then the water current slowly creates movement in the coral giving the sense of a calm harmony. In a family this is rare time but also a memorable one; it will only occur when the entire family is together engaging in the same activity, for instance watching a movie or going out to a formal restaurant. This sense of peace is short-lived in the ocean and in the house but cherished all the…
