Chapter 173: The feeling of being a big man
As far as the eye can see, the small town houses at the foot of the mountain, the quadruple streams, the double-oblique bridges, the terraced rice fields, and the mountains in the distance, as well as the blue-green water and pure white sand......
It's like a wonderland!
The crowd walked along the Alangyi Ancient Road, which is the only remaining pristine coastline that no road passes, and the entire ancient road spans between Pingtung Xuhai and Tainantian. You have to pass through two gravel beaches, climb the steep slope of Guanyin's nose, and cross large and small boulders.
Finally reaching the end, Johnson was sweating profusely, and the moment he looked back at the coastline, he was full of blue sky, white clouds and blue water, and immediately felt that no matter how hard it was, it was worth it!
On the way back, when the sun slowly sinks, the colors of the sky are constantly changing, warm yellow, orange red, pink, and deep blue, rendering the whole sky like a canvas, like a dream......
In the evening, we live in Shanhai Fishing Port, not far from the snorkeling holy land Wanlitong, follow the path into this simple fishing village, the village still retains the appearance of the early fishing village, walking on the path, there is an illusion of time and space shuttle.
It's all B&Bs, choose one, the name is very personal, it's called a tree. When you enter the door, you will find that there are seven rooms in the entire courtyard, and each room faces the sea.
Whether you stand on the top of the tree, the waist of the tree, or even squat at the bottom of the tree, looking ahead, the scenery of the mountains and seas can be seen at a glance.
Even many of the furniture is handmade by the owner using driftwood as raw materials, which is filled with the atmosphere of the ancient sea and the smell of folk customs.
I went to the nearby beach and saw the white sand for the first time. A winding sandy beach with a jutting reef not far from the shore where you can sit and let the water wash your feet.
Unconsciously, the sun sets, and the fiery red sun sets between the sea and the sky. Soon the starry sky hung like mercury in front of you, and the waves beat the reef rhythmically.
There is no extra light, and the starry sky is a light source. At this moment, everyone is deeply attracted by nature and quietly enjoys all the beauty......
Because tomorrow is going to dive, Johnson does not have a beautiful woman to accompany him, in fact, it is better to be quiet, wasn't he all alone before?
Feel the warm and humid sea breeze in the face, I heard that there are many diving sites in Kenting, whether it is shore diving or boat diving, the distance will not be too far.
Basically, you can dive all year round, especially in early spring in April, when the annual Na Music Festival officially declares that it has entered the tourist season.
I didn't say anything all night, got up in the morning, and went directly to the nearby diving center, the service staff was very enthusiastic, chartered a small yacht, hired a diving instructor, and set sail for the sea.
It is said that the visibility is between 15m and 40m, and as long as there is no typhoon, you can even see turtles on the boat, swimming around in the water leisurely......
Seeing Johnson's eagerness to try, the coach took the initiative to introduce: "We in Kenting are not mainly based on big things, if you want to see sharks, manta, whale sharks, you still have to choose other places." Diving here, you can clearly feel the richness of the underwater world, especially the small details, which can also be very spectacular, which is very suitable for learning to dive......"
Pointing to a short distance, he planned: "For example, my favorite dive site is from the water flow to the east, from the water outlet, two points at a time. It's a long journey, and when you enter the water from the mouth of the reef, you can see not only schools of fish that suddenly appear, but also beautiful little creatures such as nudibranchs and nudibranchs......"
"What's even better is the terrain that goes all the way, drilling small holes, crossing the cracks, and finally returning to the sand and kicking back to the water. ”
Johnson was looking forward to it, and when he came to Hongchaikeng, everyone put on their equipment, repeatedly checked the misunderstanding, and officially went into the water. Entering the water from the north side, the depth gradually decreases from 3 m to 13 m, and slowly moves westward.
Because of the last experience, I quickly found my state, and when I passed the reef, huge microporous corals appeared in front of me, and all kinds of colorful small fish shuttled and frolicked in them......
The instructor gestured to continue the dive and enter the canyon terrain, with the legendary first line of heaven in front of him. It is about 50 meters long, and the narrowest point is only 2 meters, allowing only one person to pass through.
The coach went first, Xia Long and Xia Hu were behind, and Johnson was in the middle. Everywhere, you can see a whole field of bright red soft corals hanging upside down on the reef wall, and some unknown corals have opened their white tentacles due to the current, like a rain of cherry blossoms flying in the sky.
The farther south you go, the more types of corals there are, and when everyone stops to rest, the coach motions to SC Johnson to get closer to the corals, where you can see glowing flame shells in the rock crevices, and even a lot of cute clownfish.
In particular, a small shrimp with a strange shape, with a red-white ringed body, long pincer legs, covered with thorns, and six white-whiskered tentacle whips, kept crawling around on the big fish, as if eating something?
The big fish is motionless and enjoying it, is this the legendary private fish massage?
A blue and red mollusc crawls leisurely in front of you, and if it appears in the toilet, it's called a slug. It can appear on the bottom of the sea, and it must be a sea slug.
On the vast underwater platform, corals are the most dominant benthic organisms, and all kinds of succulent soft corals grow densely as far as the eye can see, like a velvet carpet covering the rocks, and countless schools of fish swim on it, together forming a beautiful underwater landscape.
In the face of a bottomless trench, it seems that human beings can conquer the roof of the world and land on the unreachable moon, but the exploration of the deep sea is almost blank, and even the moon is more understood than the deep sea?
I once read a report that now technology can find the deepest place under the sea, the Mariana Trench at the junction of the Pacific plate and the Philippine plate, with a maximum depth of 11,034 meters, which is more than enough to insert the entire Mount Everest upside down.
No creature can live on such a seabed, because the water pressure is enough to crush all metal, and the known limit of survival is only more than 8,000 meters.
Cameron, the director of "Avatar", who once dived to this depth, described: there is no life there, it looks extremely desolate, as if you have come to another planet.
If you jump straight into the sea naked and sink to 40 meters, the water pressure is equivalent to four atmospheres. It's as if more than 400 big men are pressing on you......
I was lucky enough to reach 1,000 meters in the depths, where it would be dark, because the sunlight had long since stopped shining, all living beings had degraded vision, and they had evolved flashlights on their heads.
What is the concept of diving to 1500 meters?
God forbid that you are not dead, then you will enjoy the feeling of a division of troops pressed on your body. Jiaolong's latest diving record is more than 6,500 meters, which is almost half the size of the Mariana Trench.
Everyone followed the current, and soon returned to the sea, the sun shining on their bodies, and every time there was a feeling of rebirth.
Take off the equipment, lie soft on the deck, feel the heat above your head, the sun is like a gentle lover, gently brushing the whole body, taking away the cold, and re-injecting new vitality into the body.
It's a good feeling!
