I am living the life I have longed for on the most beautiful island ring road

In Longgun Town, Wanning, Hainan, there is a coastal fishing village called 'Yandun'. It is located near the storytelling Hainan Island Ring Road Shanqin Bay Swallow Cave, and it is a primitive village with vast 'wild sea scenery', preserving the most original culture and ecological environment, where the ocean, lakes, rivers, tropical rainforests, and fishing village culture blend together. Through the ages, how many wisps of cooking smoke have drifted between the mountains, rivers, and seas. The officially opened Hainan Island Ring Road passes through Yandun Village, like a 'necklace' stringing pearls, connecting 'Yandun' with more 'pearls', presenting to the world the most authentic, most original, and most homely Hainan Island. In ancient times, 'Yandun' was an ancient shop and transportation station. Facing the South China Sea to the east of Yandun, flowers bloom all year round. There are two rivers, the Qingshan River and the Xincun River, surrounding the village to the north and south, connecting with Hele, Gangbei, Boao, Yuehui, and Jiaji. This place used to be an ancient shop and station where fishmongers and salt traders from the Wanning area would stop and rest when traveling to Boao and Qionghai. In those days, Yandun Village was bustling and sizable, divided into Yandun Upper Shop and Yandun Lower Shop, welcoming fishmongers and merchants passing by. During the war years, Yandun Village also undertook the important task of a 'beacon tower'. Today, looking out to the sea from the village beach, one can still see the legendary 'Eagle Beak Reef', telling the stories of those red years. Fishing village, ancient shop, station, beacon tower... As time goes by, Yandun Village has been prosperous, quiet, and now, because of an island ring road, it has been connected and brought into a new era. A new species has been born in Yandun Village, and its name is 'Yandun Hai No.1 Courtyard'. Here, as soon as you open your eyes, you are immersed in the morning routine with the sunrise over the sea; here, standing by the window, the sunlight shines directly on Yingzui Reef, jumping into the phone screen saver; here, facing the sea, strolling in front of the courtyard, the footprints behind you quietly smoothed by the waves. The tide rises and falls, the stars shift, the sun and moon alternate, and the weariness of toil and dust is scattered by the sea breeze of Yandun... The forest seed of Yandun Sea, 'Yandun Hai No.1 Courtyard' homestay, is a high-end brand of Hainan Forest Inn. In Hainan, when it comes to homestays, one cannot help but mention Forest Inn. Since its establishment in 2010, Forest Inn has been the earliest modern inn in Hainan, with the first one located in the Danzhou Liangyuan Botanical Garden. Now, with the brands Forest Inn, Island Forest, and Yandun Sea, there are six branches operating in tourist destinations across the island. In 2016, it was rated as one of the 'Top Ten Homestay Inns in China' by the China Hotel Association. Over the past 13 years since its establishment, Forest Inn has called its guests 'guest officials', treating them as friends and family. The people of Forest Inn are willing to be 'leaves of the forest', earnestly treating guest officials, serving society, and performing the 'sunny enthusiasm, simple and kind' 'Hainan-style service'. The founder of Forest Inn, Feng Qingxiong, was born in Yandun Village facing the South China Sea. As his parents went out to make a living, he was one of the earliest left-behind children in our country. The dream of running an inn was his ultimate fantasy come true in Yandun Village. Over the years, Feng has been steadfast in Hainan's cultural tourism hotels and inns, telling Hainan stories to tourists and spreading Hainan culture. Adhering to the philosophy of 'experience the most Hainan, eat the greenest, and entertain the most local', he started his business. In every inn, Feng hopes to provide a haven for guests to rest their souls. For each inn's location and design, he personally participates and emphasizes to the designers the principles of 'design sense, experience sense, and intimacy'. Every year, he arranges a budget for the forest leaves to 'step out of Hainan to see Hainan, step out of the country to see Hainan', taking them on domestic and international study tours to enhance their horizons and abilities, committed to allowing every leaf of the forest to grow healthily and happily. Over the years, he has founded and operated a 'forest castle', which is not easy for a farmer's child, but he has always enjoyed it. Feng is not only a serious entrepreneur, but also a socially responsible person who cares about the community and children. He insists on holding the 'Urban and Rural Youth Hand in Hand' public welfare event wherever the enterprise is founded, and is the president of the Longgun Town Education and Culture Promotion Association. In 2023, among the three top scorers in Hainan's college entrance examination, the only local Hainanese student came from Longgun Town, and the 2015 science top scorer He Shengkai also came from the town, which made Feng very happy. After 30 years of struggle outside, Feng returned to his beloved hometown and created a new 'spiritual home' for guests from afar, which is 'Yandun Hai No.1 Courtyard'. Bringing guests home is a sentiment and also a courage. The design unit leading the Yandun Sea project this time is Hainan Wen Chuang Yuan Fang Jingfeng, the dean, and Zi Pian Design Teacher Wang Dajian. 'I am a happy 'dream chaser', and in this life, one should do what they love. My parents are the 'first generation of creators', and I am the 'second generation of creators'. Following the country's reform and opening-up policy, we left Yandun Village and started businesses all over Hainan Island, and now we have returned to our birthplace, Yandun Village, to start the first homestay. I hope the dim light emitted by the homestay can become a warm light that touches people's hearts, inspiring more Hainanese to return to their hometowns, engage in rural revitalization work, and recreate charming new hometowns'. Starting from the countryside, returning from the world. Feng admires Lai Qingsong, a son-in-law from Taiwan's Yilan, who returned from studying for a master's degree in Japan, gave up the big city of Kaohsiung, and went back to his wife's hometown in Yilan to grow rice. Lai's righteous act has attracted hundreds of young people from around the world to fall in love with Yilan and join Lai and others in building, starting businesses, and living comfortably in Yilan over the years. There is also Liao Jiazhan in Nantou, who allows village teenagers to play the violin freely in the Paper Church, a scene that has been imprinted on him throughout his years of entrepreneurship. Now, the designer homestay courtyard designed by Hainan Wen Chuang Yuan and Zi Pian Design Institute in Yandun Village started construction this April and will open its doors to welcome guests on New Year's Day 2024. When the homestay opens, the private school for the children of Yandun Village will also sow seeds at Yandun Hai No.1 Courtyard, sowing hope and the future. Yandun Sea Luxury Homestay carries the deep hometown affection and original motivation of a wanderer. From the sea, you can see the sea 'Yandun Sea' in front of which is a vast expanse of beaches, coconut groves, casuarinas, and the vast sea. The locals call this sea 'Yandun Sea', which is the origin of the name of the homestay.
