Early morning, we jumped on a ferry from Makung (馬公) to Wangan (望安).
After arrived Wangan, we first tried to find a place to stay. Luckily, through the owner of B & B that we stay in Makung, we got a connection in Wangan. 30 minutes later, we rent a little beach house with a private beach and a motorcycle.
Wangan is one of few places that green turtles (綠蠵龜) visit more often and more steady to lay eggs. We wanted to go to Green Turtle Tourism and Conservation Center. Unfortunately, it was closed.
Wangankou Beach (網垵口沙灘) is called the "Dream Beach" because of its soft white sand accompanied by clear blue ocean. Whenever the tide rises, the clean white beach will enter the clear blue ocean. The beach is also a place green turtles migrate back to.
Our last stop of the day was Chungshe Old Hua Family Residence (花宅古厝). Originally named "Flower House" (花宅), the legend says that when this village was firstly established, their ancestors looked at the local terrain, and discovered that the mountains surrounding the place were just like lotus petals. Therefore, they firstly named the land around "the heart of the flower" (山仔尾頂, Shanziweiding) and built a house, thus naming it "Flower House", also meaning that the house that was built at the heart of the flower. The village is filled with ancient houses that are built of coral. There were originally over 80 sanheyuan (三合院, old three-section compound house), and now only about 50 of them are still well-preserved.
On the way back to our hotel, we saw lots of cows. My friend and I were so excited to see cows! Ha! City Girls!
We decided to stay in our hotel and enjoy our private beach in the afternoon. However, there was a price to pay … My skins became ... very dark. I am like a panda!
