Features: Summer vacation is approaching, and the siblings, Clever Wu and Little Smart, naturally wouldn’t miss this great opportunity to travel. Similarly, the travel-loving and adventure-seeking siblings, Banana Bear and Bucket Girl, are also eager to "go wild" during the summer vacation. Where to go this time? They all decided to head to Hainan. Hainan is a wonderful place for tourism, with a long coastline, clear waters, white and fluffy sand, clean and soft beaches, shaded by lush green trees and rows of coconut palms. The air is fresh, offering spectacular views of unique tropical coastal forests like mangroves, as well as colorful coral reefs. Even on land, it has a charm all its own. Mountains and tropical primary forests are scattered throughout, with Jiafengling being the most typical. The rivers in the forest are crystal clear, with winding streams and numerous waterfalls. Rare animals roam among them, truly breathtaking. This time, Clever Wu solemnly proposed to his father, Wu Gongchen, that he and the other three children travel to Hainan without adult supervision. Although they were highly self-reliant, leaving them completely alone still made his parents uneasy, after all, they were only 13 or 14 years old. There are all kinds of people in the outside world. Despite all four of them being quick on their feet, as the saying goes, "plans don’t always go as expected," and no one could predict what might happen. Wu Gongchen, seeing these young, beardless children wanting to venture out alone, felt both pleased and worried: it was good that they wanted to live independently without relying on their parents, but if something unexpected happened, it could be a big problem. What would he do if he wanted his son to succeed? Considering the children’s firm determination, he didn’t refuse immediately but asked them some questions: What if they got lost in the scenic area? What if they lost money? He was surprised by their answers, but don’t underestimate these little ones—they were quite clever. Wu Gongchen had no objections to their solo trip, but he knew this proposal would never pass his wife’s approval. So, he began negotiations with the children and eventually reached a compromise: the Junior Adventure Team (the four boys, all of whom loved adventure, used this as their external name) agreed to let Wu Gongchen join their trip, but he could not interfere with their actions—just an observer. With their father’s accompaniment, the plan quickly gained their mother’s approval. She didn’t care what role their father played in the trip—just as long as he was going, she felt at ease. At Banana Bear’s house, they were also relieved to hear that Wu Gongchen, known for his steady nature, would be accompanying them. After all the preparations were made, everything was ready—just waiting for the wind, which was the school vacation. Amidst the anticipation of the four little friends, now the entire student body, the countdown to summer vacation finally ended. On this day when countless students were dancing with joy, Wu Gongchen joined the Junior Adventure Team and arrived in Hainan. Soon after arriving in Hainan, the boys were captivated by the scenery. They looked around greedily, wanting to take in everything. Wu Gongchen didn’t lag behind either, his neck aching from turning to see the views. Hainan truly lived up to its reputation as a tourist
