The idyllic paradise of coconut trees and rice fields | Farming work on a small island

On St. Martin's Island, you can nap in a hammock, drink extremely cheap coconuts and watch the blue sea, forgotten by time and the world. Of course, you can also be more special, such as walking around the island. If you walk around the island, it is recommended to cross the island from the center in addition to walking around the island, where the rural scenery is also very beautiful. After walking along the west coastline of the island, I accidentally broke into the barrier of coconut trees and mangroves, and found a vibrant rice field inside the island. The towering coconut trees are the boundaries of the rice fields, and some thatched farmhouses are scattered among them. The main economic source of the island is of course fishing, but there are also many people who plant rice in the gaps of fishing. However, in general, materials are very scarce, most of them can only rely on the mainland supply, it will become very dangerous to go out to sea in the monsoon season, and the life of the island residents will also become very difficult. When walking through the small road in the middle of the island, I passed some local villagers' houses. Because it was the slaughter festival, I could occasionally see the festive scene of slaughtering cattle. Children with henna painted hands were holding beef and running happily in the fields. In addition to the lonely and beautiful sea view on St. Martin's Island, the life picture of the locals is also full of attraction for me, a foreign traveler.
