A person wants to travel and see the beautiful scenery. He not only wants to see the sunrise and sunset, the sea and beaches, but also wants to see the fragrance of mountains, rivers, lakes, and tea gardens. He not only wants to enjoy the blue sky and white clouds and the vastness of the grassland, but also wants to see the stars and the bright Milky Way at night, man!

So greedy!

Is it possible to have both in one place?

The answer is: You really can have your cake and eat it too. You can see all the above scenery on one island.

That is "Dayushan Island", which was selected by National Geographic magazine as one of the ten most beautiful islands in China in 2006. From June to October every year, tens of thousands of acres of meadow surround two lakes of different sizes, which is the most magical.

What's more, when you look at the grass waves dancing in the wind in front of you, you feel like you are in the Tianshan Ranch in Urumqi, Xinjiang. When you look far into the distance and look at the endless ocean in the distance, you realize that you are actually in the vast ocean.

It’s a wonderful experience on the island!

Because it has not been overly commercially exploited, I went up to the island and saw how the villagers and fishermen lived on a daily basis. It was just like that. Houses made of stones were built to prevent them from being blown down by typhoons; they were darning fishing nets and busy sorting freshly caught fish and shrimps.

, some dried fish, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city with numerous reinforced concrete high-rise buildings, far away from light pollution, the pace suddenly slowed down, you can walk, watch and be in a daze as you like.

Interestingly, Dayushan Island is located in eastern Fujian, but all the villagers here speak Hokkien. One of the big reasons for this is that in the late Ming Dynasty, after Emperor Shunzhi entered Shanhaiguan and settled in Beijing, Zheng Chenggong was beaten by the Qing army.

They were retreating steadily and were preparing to retreat to Taiwan Island across the strait as a base. However, some people from coastal Fujian were unwilling to follow them to Taiwan to escape the war. Some families fled north with their families, arriving in Ningde in northeastern Fujian, Wenzhou and Taizhou in Zhejiang.

Settled life in the area.

Dayushan Island has only become well-known in the past five or six years. This is due to the popularization of mobile Internet, the rise of tourism, and the rapid development of high-speed rail and expressway construction in my country, making it convenient and fast to get to Dayushan Island. many.

(According to the latest news, the roads in the scenic spot on Yushan Island are being widened and renovated in March this year, and bicycle sightseeing lanes will be added in the future).

To go to Yushan Island, you must take a ferry or take a yacht. There are two passenger terminals. One is the Yujing Pier in Fuding, which is about 6 nautical miles away from Yushan Island. When converted into kilometers, it is about 11 kilometers. It takes half an hour to arrive.

The other is the Sansha Ancient Town Pier in Sansha Town, Xiapu County, which is 5 nautical miles away, equivalent to 9.26 kilometers.

Fifty years ago, the means of transportation were wooden boats. 20 years ago, they were iron boats. They could only carry 20 people at a time and there was only one boat a day. But now they are sofa seats. Clean and bright cruise ships can carry more than 100 people at a time.

It is safe and stable, and the number of shipping flights in and out every day has also increased, which greatly facilitates travel.

When you walk in the Tianhu Scenic Area of ??Yushan Island, the first thing you see is a Buddhist temple called Tianhu Temple. Although the building is not very grand, it slowly reveals a past that has been sealed for nearly 80 years.

...The original name of this Tianhu Temple was Hujian Temple.

It was built by a Japanese with the help of villagers.

And this Japanese also served as the mayor of Yushan Town on Yushan Island, that’s right!

You heard that right, a Japanese actually became the mayor of a town in China, and was elected as the mayor by the villagers on the island.

This is the first book on the Internet to show the legendary experience of this Japanese and Yushan Island.

Because this is an out-of-print book, released in 1986. It is a memoir written by this Japanese in his later years, and it belongs to documentary literature.
