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 in Zhanjiang is really not very distinctive. There are three different places in Zhanjiang. The first big alternative, many scenic spots, but not attractive.
Zhanjiang is famous for Huguangyan! Of course, many Zhanjiang people think this is not the most interesting place. Because I always feel that the ornamental value there is very general, perhaps geological research is more valuable! A small lake, that is, Mabei Lake, a very ordinary hill, 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, and it is definitely not comparable to many artificial lakes now. Clear without sundries, inlaid in it, like agate. There are all kinds of legends and mysterious colors. Generally speaking, the scenery inside is still a bit monotonous, which makes people feel unhappy after playing.
I feel that Huguangyan has received tickets for so many years, and the big garden behind the park is still deserted. It's really a pity that it hasn't been fully developed. If there is no guide here, foreign tourists or locals who come here 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, build a volcano theme 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 the largest volcanic island in China, Weizhou Island. Where can I see the lighthouse, watch the local people catch the sea, see the volcanic rocks, take a panoramic view of the 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 Resort in Wushi Town, Antarctic Village in Xuwen, Pineapple Sea, 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 Gray in Zhanjiang, and there is a saying: "Leizhou Peninsula is a good place, and Xiushan Green is a good place". In fact, the water show is barely strong, and the mountains are green and green. Forget it! There are no real mountains in Zhanjiang. Zhanjiang is famous 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 flooded into Zhanjiang, which has promoted the skyrocketing housing prices in Zhanjiang! Livable is done, and the tourism attributes suitable for playing are not yet in place. Zhanjiang's tourism resources are scattered, unattractive, poorly managed and lack of integration, which 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 tourist hotspot in Zhanjiang. I hope that the future Zhanjiang will take Dinglongwan as a successful model and do better!
Zhanjiang is the second largest choice. Seafood is famous, but it is generally too expensive to eat! Only eat when entertaining guests on holidays!
Eating raw seafood is not a luxury in Zhanjiang. Even in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it's really hard to eat raw seafood! 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 the traffic is developed and seafood can be eaten everywhere, it is very rare to vividly reflect the seafood cooked now, so many people come for this reason.
Zhanjiang diet pays more attention to nutrition! All kinds of boiled ducks, boiled chickens and boiled dogs are boiled in clear water. Many people, especially friends in 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, with garlic paste, is a rare food when you bite it. Ordinary people can have chicken to eat on normal days, with peanut white wine and several home-cooked dishes, which are the best in the world. If the 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 on the table.
In Zhanjiang, ordinary chicken and fish are standard, and prawns and crabs are top matches. After all, it's expensive, and it's not a major festival or a VIP reception, so it's not easy to sell. To outsiders, Zhanjiang people often eat big fish and prawns, which is also a false proposition. But it's really good. It's rare to eat such delicious food at the same time. Protein, a kind of shrimp and crab, is rich in nutrition. If you come to Zhanjiang, someone is willing to treat you with prawns and crabs. You should cherish them. Worth making friends!
Zhanjiang people's diet is actually a branch of Guangfu diet, which advocates lightness and likes to drink soup when eating. I won't elaborate here.
Speaking of food, some people may ask, what are the special snacks in Zhanjiang? Say it briefly. Cooking with a dustpan and making cakes with leaves are more common! However, these things were rarely eaten before, and most people would make leaf cakes every year during the Spring Festival. I used to eat this food, but I was poor and couldn't eat it often. Now it may be delicious, sweet and refreshing, but now there are almost no shops, which can often be seen in some street corner stalls. I don't understand. Cooking with a dustpan tastes no worse than in rice rolls. For what reason, I can't go to the store and can only become a peddler? In addition, for us Zhanjiang people, especially after 80s and 90s, what we may miss most is the kiln sweet potato or kiln chicken.
Zhanjiang is the third unique place with superior geographical environment and the longest coastline, and its development level does not match. In its heyday, Zhanjiang was once the second largest city in Guangdong. Guangzhou Bay used to be the only foreign port with free trade and prosperous economy. At present, 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 animal husbandry", Zhanjiang 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 basic environment is superior, which does not 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, housing prices are high, only the conditions are good, and people are relatively comfortable, that's all.
In fact, I am optimistic about Zhanjiang in the next ten years, but as a Zhanjiang person, seeing the current state of the city really just feels very ordinary. I don't know what you think.
