How to get to East Island is more convenient.

East Island Traffic Guide: 1. Get on the bus near Xiashan Railway Station, about every 20 minutes. Ticket price, 8 yuan. 2. You can take the "Xiashan-Southeast" bus (you need to explain to the owner that you need to send it to Dongdao first). Ticket price, 8 yuan.

East Island is located in the southeast of Zhanjiang City, and together with the South Three Islands, it forms the gateway of Zhanjiang Port. Since 1958 built the sea-crossing levee, East Island is no longer an island. Starting from the city, you can drive 23 kilometers to dongshan town, which is an island like the heart, and then walk 20 kilometers to the east to reach the "East Island Provincial Tourism Resort".

This 68-kilometer-long sea-crossing levee was built by nearly 10,000 farmers, soldiers, workers, students and government officials after 22 months of hard work. Comrade Guo Moruo once wrote a poem, "There is mud and stone from materials, but it is still interesting to comment on it" (referring to the fashionable "combination of soil and foreign materials" at that time).

In fact, the so-called "ocean" at that time was nothing more than wooden sailboats and trolleys. As for what a "scholar" is, you can imagine. Older local people will remember how people upload pieces of soil like rice cakes, regardless of gender, age and age, rolling around like eye muscles.

This is how the levee is made of pieces of soil. Of course, it is full of sweat from the soldiers and civilians in the city. Dongdao is a large flat island with an area of 286 square kilometers, ranking fifth in the country. The population of the island is about 6.5438+0.5 million. Traditionally, people make a living by fishing in the sea and planting coffin potatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, peanuts and other dry land crops. In recent years, the cultivation of vegetables transported to the north and the cultivation of lobsters, abalone, prawns, crabs, fish eggs and precious fish have gradually risen to the main business.

Fruits include bananas, mangoes and pineapples. "Donghai melon" is a local specialty, shorter than ordinary cantaloupe, still like apple, also known as "apple melon", sweet and crisp. "Dragon Dance by Donghai People" refers to the unique folk art here, which is a long dragon composed of people and people. Known as "A Unique Oriental Skill", 1992 performed in Beijing at the invitation of CCTV during May Day. The coastline from Longteng in the northeast of the island to Lu Wei is 65km, with a water depth of 26-40m. It is a unique geographical resource here and can be used to build a large deepwater wharf with a tonnage of 300,000 tons. Dongdao is 1992 "economic development experimental zone" approved by the provincial government, and various development work is being actively planned.

On September 24th, 1993, Comrade Jiang Zemin visited Dongdao in person, which greatly encouraged the people of the whole island. The "East Island Provincial Tourism Resort" is built in this cool green. Approved by Guangdong provincial government in June, 1994, at present, only the middle section of Long Beach is 25 kilometers long. Not far from the resort, you can see the beautiful scenery of the sea and the sky. Every sunny morning, the sun jumps out from the horizon and bursts with thousands of golden lights. That scene is even more spectacular.

On both sides of the central square, there are more than 50 buildings with different styles, and the 18 hotel has been completed and opened. Famous ones are Jinlong Resort, Hot Spring Resort, Beiyuan Resort and Guantao Hotel. Every holiday, these hotels have long announced that they are "full", so please book in advance if you are interested. Along the sidewalks on both sides of the central square, you can enter the seawall. Floating on the clear sea, let layers of white waves beat and sing with the sound of the waves, and any troubles in your heart will fly to the outside of the cloud nine.

On holidays, there will be a "dragon dance" on the beach, which will add more interest. What you can often see on the beach is the fisherman's "big net", which is a primitive fishing method. Although it is not deliberately arranged, it often attracts many tourists to watch it, because people like to share the joy of harvest. If you are interested in buying some fish, shrimp and crabs that have just been called, you will know that they are ready to eat under the sun umbrella. That's the life of a fairy!
