Participated in the 2023 "Walking China, Overseas Chinese Media Hainan Tour" activity recently entered Wanning, Hainan, and 14 overseas Chinese media professionals from 20 countries experienced the unique style of Wanning, the hometown of overseas Chinese.

Xinglong Coffee CP Industrial Park Coffee Experience Hall is full of coffee aromas, provoking people's taste buds. "Xinglong people drink 3 cups of coffee a day." Wang Mengjun, marketing director of CP (Hainan) Xinglong Coffee Industry Development Co., Ltd., said that Xinglong people love to drink coffee, which stems from the "overseas Chinese taste" of Xinglong coffee.

Wang Mengjun said that in the 20s of the 50th century, Xinglong successively resettled more than 21,1 returned overseas Chinese from <> countries and regions. In addition to coffee seeds and cultivation techniques, the Chinese diaspora also brought back to Xinglong the tradition of drinking coffee and the craft of making and brewing coffee. Over time, coffee culture has penetrated into the market and blended with local customs.

In 1952, Xinglong Collective Farm was established, and the "Comprehensive Agricultural and Sideline Products Processing Workshop" began to grow coffee, located on the west bank of the Sun River, which is the predecessor of Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm Coffee Factory and the first coffee factory after the founding of New China. The flavor of Xinglong coffee has been passed down to the present day and has become a national geographical indication product of China.

In the coffee experience hall, there is also the smell of books. In the "Enjoy the Book Time" ladder book bar of the coffee experience hall, the scene of someone holding a book and reading quietly impressed Long Lihua, deputy editor-in-chief of the Japanese International Student News. "This combination of book bar culture and coffee culture creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that makes people feel happy and relaxed." She said.

What impressed Long Lihua was also the surfing fashion that was emerging in Wanning Riyue Bay. "As an island country, Japan has a lot of surfers, but the Japanese surf spots are more seasonal and require more technical requirements for surfers." Long Lihua said that Riyue Bay has a tropical beauty of blue sea and sky, clear water and white sand, and superior surfing resource endowments, which can meet the play needs of surfers at different stages, which is one of the advantages of attracting surfers from all over the world to travel to Hainan.

Although the weather was hot when the reporter visited Wanning Riyue Bay, surfers who rode freely in the sea breeze on their pedal surfboards and people who learned surfing techniques with instructors on the shore abounded.

"The high and long waves of Sun Moon Bay are perfect for surfing." Chen Deyun, head of Wanning Sports Center, said that high-quality wave resources make Riyue Bay a well-known surfing base, and in September 2017, the training base of the Chinese surfing national team officially settled in Wanning, and the national surfing team and a number of provincial professional surfing teams are also stationed in Wanning for training.

Driven by surfing, the sports tourism market has prospered, bringing a new "fashion taste" to Riyue Bay.
