Lover island, formerly known as Houmen Mountain, is located on the east side of the central part of Zhujiajian Island Island, about 100 m from the headland between Nansha and Dongsha, and can be used for crossing the sea at low tide. The island is long, northwest to southeast, more than 1000 meters long, and looks like a herringbone peninsula from a height. 1997, a suspension bridge of 122 meters was built between lover island and Zhujiajian Island Island, so it is no longer necessary to wait for the tide to visit. Tourists are walking on the suspension bridge, and the tide is rolling under the bridge, which is very beautiful. Although the area of lover island is small, only 0.2 square kilometers, it shows its unique beauty with its exquisiteness and seamount wonders. Therefore, if the beach gives people comfortable leisure fun, then lover island gives people a relaxed and romantic mood.
There has been such a beautiful and moving folk story about the origin of place names in lover island since ancient times:
One evening, Zhu Haitong, a beautiful and hardworking fisherman woman in Dongsha Village, Zhujiajian Island Island, was drying her fishing net in Dongtan. She happened to be seen by Prince Seven, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who was patrolling the East China Sea. Zi Long was immediately intoxicated by the girl's beauty. He turned himself into a handsome fisherman, rocking a small boat and sailing quickly to the shore of Pittosporum.
Hai Tong saw Zi Long's extraordinary appearance and understanding, just like his dream lover, and immediately fell in love with him. Two people are sitting on the beach affectionately.
In fact, like lovers who have been in love for many years, they meet each other late and tell each other the truth. In this way, Zi Long and Pittosporum often meet on the beach, and their feelings are getting deeper and deeper. They made a vow of eternal love and never changed their minds.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Living in the cave on the island, the green snake spirit discovered the secret of love between Zi Long and Pittosporum. Green snake spirit is very jealous, but it knows that it can't beat Zi Long, so it makes a plan and tells the East China Sea Dragon King. When the Dragon King learned that the Seven Princes had fallen in love with all the fishermen's daughters, he flew into a rage. He ordered the seven princes to return to the Dragon Palace for life.
Zi Long didn't want to say goodbye to his beloved girl, so Haitong told him to go back quickly. As soon as Dragon left here, Green Snake Essence caught Pittosporum in the snake cave. It told Haitong that Dragon abandoned her and would never come back, forcing her to marry herself. The girl Hai Tong is indomitable and firmly believes that Zi Long will come back for her, and she has been pregnant for three months. Green snake essence had nothing to do, so she had to put Pittosporum into the bottom of the cave.
Zi Long is in the Dragon Palace, but he is tied to Pittosporum. He made an excuse to sneak out, but he didn't know that the Dragon Palace was less than half a day, and it had been more than the first half of the year. He returned to the east beach of Zhujiajian Island Island to look for Pittosporum. He searched and searched, but the scenery remained the same, but there was no sign of Pittosporum. Finally, the seahawk, who lives on the south cliff of the island, tells the story of Pittosporum's misfortune.
When Zi Long heard his anger, he found the green snake from the snake hole and fought together. The battle was dark and rough. Finally, Zi Long threw the green snake essence on the reef and died.
The snake spirit was destroyed, and Pittosporum returned to the side of the Dragon King and the Seven Princes. At this time, Pittosporum is about to give birth. The seventh prince, a new father, was in a hurry. He hurried to the dragon head on the cliff in the east and dug a big and deep cave, in which Pittosporum gave birth to a little dragon.
As the sunshine flies, several years have passed, and Zi Long Jr. is very smart, lovely, lively and brave. Haitong and his wife regard him as the apple of their eye.
Besides, when the Dragon King of the East China Sea learned that the Seven Princes had secretly returned to Vietnam, he was out of control and couldn't help being furious. He personally came to Zhujiajian Island Island to punish his son. But seeing Xiao lively and lovely, exactly like himself, and deeply moved by his son's family, he was surprised and happy, so he gave up the idea of punishment. He wanted to bring his family back to the Dragon Palace for reunion, but he couldn't go and the Seven Princes didn't want to leave. So the Dragon King had to take his little dragon grandson back to the Dragon Palace.
Since then, the Seven Princes and Haitong couple have lived happily together. I don't know how many years have passed, and Haitong is old. After her death, her body and hair became evergreen trees all over the mountains. This is the Pittosporum tree in lover island. In order to keep his promise of love, the Seven Princes stayed in Zhujiajian Island Island forever. At the same time, in order to be afraid of the loneliness of Pittosporum, he took off his Longlin and became a Penang tree, so that he could be with his beloved woman forever. This is the story of Pittosporum and Zi Long.
Tourists and friends will also see Longziwan, Longdong, dragon body, snake shadow and other landscapes during the tour.
