I made a little trip to the Pacific coast to visit an old friend. This is in a small village of "Turtle Roar" Gui hou cun 龜吼村 (But as a side note, according to a sign in the town the original name of the village was Gui kong 龜空 "Turtle hutch" because sea turtles would come ashore there to lay egg in hutches, but then the turtles stopped coming (for some unexplained reason)and the name change to Gui kong 龜孔, which then changed to Gui hou as it is now for obvious phonetic and orthographic reasons). Here are some pictures from the main local attraction a coastal peninsular park. For more photos from this trip see Cell Phone Photography.

That is too bad that turtles no longer coming...
It looks like beautiful place!
I like the second photo!
Ya, well, they seem to have stopped coming already in the Qing dynasty, at least according to the sign in the port area hidden among the fishing equipment of the surrounding boats.
