In this article, I want to write as objectively as possible and keep myself out of it.
Looking at the whole Guangdong province, the scenery of Zhanjiang is really not very distinctive. There are three different places in Zhanjiang. The first big alternative, many scenic spots, but no appeal.
Zhanjiang is famous for Huguangyan! Of course, there are also many Zhanjiang people who think this is not the most interesting place. Because I always feel that the ornamental value there is very general, maybe the more valuable is geological research! A small lake, that is, Mabei Lake, a very ordinary small mountain, Lion Ridge. Very common garden layout, from the point of view of ornamental value, is really not worth the ticket price in 50 yuan! However, this lake is really beautiful, which is definitely not comparable to many artificial lakes now. It is clear and free of sundries, and it is inlaid in it, just like agate. There are all kinds of legends, but also cast a mysterious color. Generally speaking, the scenery inside is still a little monotonous, which makes people feel unhappy after playing.
I feel that Huguangyan has received tickets for so many years, and the large garden behind the park is still in a state of desolation. It is really a pity that it is not fully developed. If there is no guide here, foreign tourists or locals who come for the first time may not know the origin of Huguangyan Lake! Not to mention the characteristics of the lake.
I think Huguangyan can make full use of effective resources to build a volcano-themed museum and introduce Mabei Lake. In view of the lack of popularity, isn't it the best of both worlds to develop places to play, reduce tickets, attract popularity, bring economic benefits and attract more people to visit?
Of course, Zhanjiang is not only Huguangyan, but also Naozhou Island, the largest volcanic island in China. Where can I see the lighthouse, watch the local people catch the sea, see the volcanic rocks, the unobstructed coastline and eat local seafood? But it seems that the popularity of tourism is not very good, and there are not many foreigners.
In addition, there are many scenic spots, such as Tianchengtai Holiday Tourist Area in Wushi Town, Antarctic Village in Xuwen, Sea of Pineapples, Dinglongwan, and other Leizhou West Lake and Sanyuan Tower. You can introduce them separately when you have time, so I won't go into details here.
There is a Leige in Zhanjiang, and there is a sentence like this: "Leizhou Peninsula is a good place, and Shuixiu Mountain Green is a good place". In fact, the water show is barely strong, and the mountains are green, so forget it! There is no real mountain in Zhanjiang. Zhanjiang is known as a coastal city. In recent years, Zhanjiang has also been taking the city route of livable seaside. In terms of infrastructure, it is still possible to create an ecologically livable urban environment and attract investment. Therefore, many real estate developers have poured into Zhanjiang, which has promoted the skyrocketing housing prices in Zhanjiang! Livable is done, and the tourism attributes that are suitable for play are still not in place. Zhanjiang's tourism resources are scattered, with little appeal, poor management and lack of integration, so it is really not ideal. What you can say a little about this work is probably Dinglongwan! Before it was developed, it was just a deserted beach, which made people flinch. However, the development and construction in recent years has become a hot tourist attraction in Zhanjiang. I hope that the future Zhanjiang will take Dinglongwan as a successful model and make it even better!
Zhanjiang is the second largest alternative. Seafood is famous, but it is generally too expensive to eat! Only eat when entertaining guests for the holidays!
Eating raw seafood is not a luxury in Zhanjiang. Even in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, if you want to eat raw seafood, it is really too difficult! Many seafood in big cities are transported by cold chain, so the taste will not be so fresh.
Why do Zhanjiang people like fresh food so much? Fresh, probably because it tastes better and has high nutritional value. Although transportation is developed now, seafood can be eaten everywhere, but it is very rare to vividly reflect the seafood cooked now, so many people come here for this reason.
Zhanjiang diet pays more attention to nutrition! All kinds of boiled duck, boiled chicken and boiled dog are cooked in clear water. Many people, especially friends from the north, may not like this light taste, but Zhanjiang people enjoy it. Especially boiled chicken, it is necessary to entertain guests on holidays. White-cut chicken dipped in soy sauce, served with garlic, snapped and eaten, is simply a rare food. Ordinary people can have chicken to eat in normal days, with peanuts and white wine, and a few home-cooked dishes, which is the most delicious in the world. If a child is anorexic and doesn't even want to eat chicken, he will be reprimanded by his parents immediately! I don't even eat chicken. Do you want abalone and lobster?
In Zhanjiang, it is absolutely incomplete if there is no chicken at the table served.
In Zhanjiang, ordinary chicken and fish are standard, while prawns and crabs are top-matched. After all, they are expensive, so it is not a major festival or reception of distinguished guests, so it is not easy to sell them all. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhanjiang people often eat big fish and prawns, which is also a false proposition. But it is really a good thing, and it is rare to eat such delicious food at the same time. Protein, a shrimp and crab, is rich in nutrients. If you come to Zhanjiang and someone is willing to treat you with prawns and crabs, you should cherish it. It is worth making friends with!
Zhanjiang people's diet is actually a branch of Guangfu diet, which advocates lightness and likes soup when eating. I won't elaborate here.
When it comes to food, someone may ask, what are the special snacks in Zhanjiang? Just say it briefly. Cooking with a dustpan and making cakes with leaves are more common! However, in the past, these things were rarely eaten, and most people would make leaf cakes every New Year. I used to eat this thing, but I used to be poor, so I couldn't eat it often. Now I may think it's delicious, sweet and refreshing, but now there are almost no shops, and I can often see it in some corner stalls. I don't understand. The taste of dustpan cooking is not worse than that of rice rolls. What's the reason, I can't go to the shops and only become a vendor? In addition, for us Zhanjiang people, especially those after 1980s and 1990s, what we may miss most is kiln sweet potato or kiln chicken.
Zhanjiang is the third unique place, with superior geographical environment, the prefecture-level city with the longest coastline, and the degree of development does not match. When Zhanjiang was at its peak, it was once the second largest city in Guangdong. Guangzhou Bay used to be the only foreign port that can trade freely, and its economy is prosperous. Now, the top ten docks in Chikan can leave traces of arcades along the street.
But now, under the long-term route of "two rivers and one grazing", Zhanjiang has missed a good discovery opportunity. At present, Zhanjiang has become a relatively backward city in Guangdong, and its economic ranking is rather embarrassing. The population is relatively large and the urban foundation environment is superior, which really doesn't match the current situation of Zhanjiang. Many people think that Zhanjiang will become better in the future, and it is not a dream to return to the highlight moment! Some people think that Zhanjiang is like that, except for a few chemical plants and steel mills, with high housing prices, only good conditions, lack of perfect industries, and people are more comfortable, and that's it.
In fact, I am optimistic about Zhanjiang in the next ten years, but as a Zhanjiang native, I really just feel very ordinary when I see the current state of the city. I don't know what you think.
