Yancheng Site in Dong 'ao is a 270-year-old castle. Standing on the wall, looking at the endless sea, it feels like a breeze in Xu Lai. Girls had better wear a long white dress and a wide white hat, which will definitely have the same effect as postcards. There are also two forts in the city. About 20 meters southeast of Yucheng, there is a 2-meter-high cone beacon tower near the cliff. There is a fire room and a flue in it to transmit signals.

Honeymoon pavilion

Honeymoon pavilion scenery

There is a pavilion on the mountain peak in the northwest direction of the beach, called Honeymoon Pavilion, which can be reached by walking 1008.

From a distance, Dangzi Bridge in Macau is faintly visible, and Zhuhai is also hazy. The sky is high and seagulls fly overhead from time to time, which reminds me of Chen Ziang's "Where are those lost times before me?" Behind me, where are the future generations? I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, and my tears fall down. The walls around the attic are engraved with "lyric poems" by scholars of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. "If love lasts for a long time, it can't be done overnight." I'm afraid the couples in the cabinet have a deeper understanding.

There is a huge "love at first sight" clock hanging in the center of the top floor of Honeymoon Pavilion, which was hit by a stone and echoed in the blue sky and blue sea. I fell in love at Honeymoon Pavilion and fell in love with the passenger ship at first sight. How many years later, this bell may still be floating in the hearts of people who are destined.

The cruise ship sailed into "Dong 'ao Bay" from Mangmang Sea and docked at the harbor. According to reports, Dong 'ao Island is called Dong 'ao Bay because there is a large concave land in the east of the island, which is 1200m long. This is a quiet harbor, and the most beautiful time in the whole harbor is when the sun goes down and the fishing boats come home. This is a good place to play with water and enjoy the scenery.

In Dong 'ao Island, the most attractive thing is the beach. Dong 'ao Island has three beaches, namely Nanshawan, Dazhu Bay and Zhu Xiao Bay, especially Nanshawan, which enjoys the reputation of "Diamond Beach". This is a rare beach in downtown Zhuhai or nearby islands. The sand is white and delicate, the sea is crystal clear, the beach is gentle and wide, and the waves are many but not big. It is a good place to surf and take a bath.

According to reports, Dong 'ao Island was once the most prosperous island of Wanshan Islands in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are more than 3000 residents on the island, who are engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and commerce. It is only because of frequent wars and internal migration of population that it gradually lost its former glory. There are still some cities and beacon towers built by soldiers and civilians guarding the island in the late Ming Dynasty to resist foreign invasion. In addition, there are the former site of the Japanese airport and some abandoned military tunnels when the Japanese invaded China.

net-cage culture

Wanshan Islands has become one of the six major fishing grounds in Guangdong Province because of its rich aquatic resources. In the 1990s, cage culture emerged in the local area, but after the 20th century, most of them adopted new caisson culture. Local fishermen breed precious fish. There is a kind of fish called grouper, which likes to live in places with reefs on the seabed and feed on small fish. According to fishermen, feeding 7 kg of small fish can make this fish grow 1 kg. In addition, it has a long growing period, so some people say that eating grouper can often represent the grade of a seafood dinner.

Dong 'ao Island is rich in seafood, with more than 200 species of light fish and more than 70 common species. Among them, the military cap, the dog claw snail and the stone nine palaces are called "the three treasures of East Australia" and taste delicious.

A stone/statue carved on a cliff

Two cliff stone carvings on Dong 'ao Island, "Wudang Scenic Area" and "Wan Hai Ping Bo", were carved in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty.

At that time, Zhang Baozai, the great pirate, commanded 40,000 troops and four big ships of the Wuse Gang, and took the lead in the South China Sea under the banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreign countries" and "robbing the rich to help the poor". In the first year of Jiaqing, they took Lantau Island as their nest, went in and out of the Pearl River Estuary, and carved the words "Wan Hai Ping Bo" and "Shengong" on Dong 'ao Island. Twenty years later, Jiaqing was suppressed by the Qing army and evacuated from Dong 'ao Island. It is said that when they left, they buried 18 boxes of treasures near the stone carving, which were divided into "eighteen lines of hidden treasures and eighteen lines of travel" for future return. Where the treasure is has always been a mystery. So, the island left such a ballad: "There are eighteen boxes of jewels and eighteen rows of boxes. Who can get it? Drink porridge early and slaughter sheep late. "

There are many natural stone scenes on Dong 'ao Island, which are lifelike and lifelike. Look, there is a big Buddha smiling at us at the foot of the opposite mountain. Its head tilted to one side, like a little urchin and a drunk. This scenic spot is called "drunken Buddha snores". According to legend, after Ji Gong became immortal, she was invited by Master Guanyin of Nanhai to attend her birthday party. After receiving the invitation, Jigong rushed to the South China Sea. When passing through Dong 'ao Island, he was fascinated by such beautiful scenery of mountains and seas, and sat down to drink and enjoy the scenery. I don't want to get drunk. When I woke up, it was past the time to attend Master Guanyin's birthday party. Master Guanyin was very angry when he learned that Jigong was guilty of drinking too much, so he punished Jigong to sit here.

On the harbor path, a guest from ancient times is welcoming us. Much like Beijingers, carrying a mountain and staring at Dong 'ao Island. According to legend, a long time ago, there were traces of ancient human activities in Dong 'ao Island, where they lived and multiplied.

Qiu Zi spring

Qiu Zi Spring Scenery

It is said that spring in Qiu Zi is very magical.

The most famous scenic spot in Dong 'ao Island is Qiu Zi Spring Scenic Area of Dawangmiao. The white marble statue that gives Guanyin to children in the scenic spot has brought infinite hope to many young couples.

It is said that a pair of young men and women came here from the mainland because they escaped marriage, and lived a life of fishing, farming and adequate food and clothing here. The only fly in the ointment is that they have no children. One day, when the couple were fishing in the sea, they caught a red scaleless fish and found this strange fish crying in the sun. The couple put it back into the sea, and the fish suddenly said, "I am the daughter of the Dragon King of the South China Sea. If you need anything, just ask and I will repay you. " The couple talked about their desire to have children.

A year later, the couple not only gave birth to a child, but also gave birth to a pair of rare twins. It soon spread. Strangely, several families living here gave birth to three pairs of twins. Many newlyweds come here to drink water and pray for the twins.
