We traveled along the coastline to Jieyang, Guangdong. Although Jieyang City is not near the sea, the coastline of Huilai County under Jieyang's jurisdiction is very long, reaching 109.5 km. Coastal ports mainly include Shenquan, Jinghai, Qianzhan and Xian 'an. Up to now, the freight here is still busy, and of course the fishery is also very developed.
It is said that there is a Shibeishan lighthouse in Huilai, which is known as the first lighthouse in Asia. The lighthouse has always interested me, and it has the title of the first in Asia, and it has become a must-see stop for me when I come to Huilai. I want to see what's special about this lighthouse. Why is it called the first in Asia?
Starting from Huilai County, I ran all the way to Shibei Mountain. Didn't walk a few kilometers. The first thing that attracted me was Shenquan Town. Some people say that if you come to God, if you come to God, you will come to spring. It means that when you come to Huilai County, you must come to Shenquan Town. When you come to Shenquan Town, you can't miss this Cape Spring. Ganquanjiao is destined to be extraordinary because of its name. Presumably this spring is also closely related to the name Shenquan.
When the drone took off overlooking the whole town of Shenquan, it suddenly felt very shocking. The whole town is near the sea, and there are many boats on Shenquan fishing port. It is said that it was formed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Historically, it was one of the four famous fishing ports in Guangdong, and it was a key fishing port and commercial port in eastern Guangdong.
Shenquan Fish Market is located near Shenquan Fishing Port in Huilai County. Every fishing season, Shenquan fish market is full of people coming and going, and the scene is hot. Not only local merchants, but also many merchants from Zhejiang, Fujian, Shenzhen and Hong Kong come here to buy. Shenquan Fishing Port has developed into the largest seafood trading market in eastern Guangdong.
The magic of the divine spring "Spring" lies in the poem "Take it quickly, use it inexhaustible, and let it be steamed with salt", which means that no matter how fast you take it, it will not dry up, even if you cook well water with salt, it will still be weak. According to the past, Shenquan is an island, surrounded by seawater, and there is no fresh water source. Only when this sweet spring appeared on the beach did people gradually move to the island to live. The whole island lives on this spring, which never dries up.
At high tide, the sea flooded the spring. At low tide, people go to fetch water, but the water is still light and sweet, and it has not become salty. One-legged couplet was written by the prodigy Su according to the magical power of spring well, but after hundreds of years, no one can get the bottom couplet right. Now, every household has running water. Due to the improvement of living standards, people will not take water as before. But this sweet spring is a unique symbol of sacred spring.
Out of the spring, all the way to the east, looking for Shibei Mountain lighthouse. After entering Banmei Village, the road became rugged. In some sections, only one car can pass, and the wind begins to get stronger. The smell of the sea is getting heavier and heavier, and the lighthouse is not far away.
Since 1875, many ships have been wrecked in the nearby waters. Looking at the large and small reefs on the coastline, it is not difficult to see the complexity of navigation here. The wind roared, rolled up huge waves and beat the rocks, making them feel full of power.
In this way, 1882, the nations built a lighthouse here. At first, Shibeishan Lighthouse was 33 meters high, with a range of 18 nautical miles, and a panoramic view of the cape and wind. The waterway under the lighthouse was recognized as an international waterway by Britain more than 0/00 years ago. Lighthouses exist to prevent ships from hitting rocks and ensure the safety of sailing ships.
Today's lighthouse is built in 198 1, with reinforced concrete structure, 68.8 meters high, 7-level seismic design and 14-level wind resistance design. The sight distance of the tower lamp is 24.5 nautical miles, the main lamp flashes once every 10 second, and it is equipped with radar transponder, radio navigation system and other equipment. Shibei Mountain Lighthouse is the highest beacon light in China at present.
Huilai county has hundreds of kilometers of coastline. According to the investigation, a wind farm with an area of about 30 square kilometers can be built in Huilai County, which can generate electricity almost all year round. This unique natural condition is the best choice for developing wind power generation.
So, apart from this lighthouse, the most spectacular thing here is the windmill used to generate electricity. They are neatly arranged, endless, some rotate, and some rest when they are tired. The picture is harmonious.
Overlooking the sea, the fishing industry is developed and the freight port is busy. It is also an important node of the Maritime Silk Road.
There are products of marine civilization everywhere. Divine springs, lighthouses and spinning windmills constitute a unique landscape. Are you moved by such a sea?
