The online drama "Hidden Corner" made by iQiyi, which was adapted from Gina's novel "Bad Boy", has gained a good reputation since its launch. The audience discussed the wonderful "case" enthusiastically, and many people were curious about the Cantonese-speaking seaside town in the film. It is understood that the main location of the TV series is in Zhanjiang, Guangdong.

Zhanjiang, formerly known as "Guangzhou Bay", is located in Leizhou Peninsula in the southwest of Guangdong Province, bordering the South China Sea in the east, Hainan Province across Qiongzhou Strait in the south and Beibu Gulf in the west. This is the southernmost tip of Chinese mainland, and its beautiful scenery is comparable to that of Hainan Island. It is also known as the "seafood and food capital" of China.

Due to frequent local strong typhoons, the A-tower design was adopted in the design of Zhanjiang Bay Bridge. The original linear tower column extends vertically upward through appropriate linear transformation, and the top section is close but does not intersect. Seen from a distance, it looks like two torches with upward momentum. At night, when the lights are on, the dazzling body of Zhanjiang Bay Bridge complements the beautiful images in the water, just like two bright galaxies, spanning the night sky.

Blue sky, white clouds, blue sea and fine sand ... For Zhanjiang citizens, the "sea view promenade" is a good place for people to take a walk at night, enjoy the scenery and exercise. There are three "sea-watching promenades" in Zhanjiang, one is xiashan district Gold Coast (also known as Xiashan Sea-watching promenade), the other is Jinshawan Sea-watching promenade in Chikan District, and the other is the Olympic Sports Center in Potou District. Most of the beach scenes in TV series were shot in Jinshawan Seaview Corridor in Chikan District.

Tanzhou Island, called "Zhen" in ancient times, is the largest volcanic island in China, which was formed about 200,000-500,000 years ago. East Island is in the north, leizhou bay is in the west and South China Sea is in the southeast. It is an island outside Zhanjiang, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. According to legend, two "real dragons" fled to Zhounan Island in Zhanjiang at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty in order to avoid the pursuit of the Yuan Army. The latter was buried in Nanzhou after his death, and the other became the capital of Nanzhou, which witnessed the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, for many people, Naozhou Island sounds strange, but it is of great historical research value in the field of history.

There are many places of interest on the island, such as the site of Song Huangcheng, Xianglong Academy, Bajiaojing, Songhuangbei, Songhuangting, Dou Zhenbiao's tomb and Gongbaofang. , as well as the coastal beaches popular with surfers, and the newly-built Zhou Na Lighthouse, a place for online celebrities to punch cards.

Liu Feng, Guangxi

Finally, I visited enough friends in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. If I have time, I will go to Liu Feng. This natural scenic spot is also famous recently because of the hit of Hidden Corner.

Located at the foot of the cliff at the foot of Liufeng Mountain, Beidi Temple is one of the most famous Taoist temples. It was built in the fifth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. The statue of the Northern Emperor in the temple is carved from natural stone, which is integrated with the mountain, with a turtle and a snake at its feet.

According to legend, before the Northern Emperor became an immortal, he practiced in Wudang Mountain, but he never learned the Tao. One day, God was moved by his insistence and asked him to take off his internal organs and plug them with a fairy belt, so that he could become an immortal. Emperor Bei buried his internal organs under a big stone. Unexpectedly, a thousand days later, the internal organs turned into two demons, tortoise and snake, and descended to the world to endanger the people. People prayed to the Northern Emperor to solve this problem. At first, the Northern Emperor didn't know the origin of the monster. When he came down to earth to catch the two demons, he found that the monster was made of his own internal organs. It is not easy to cultivate it, so he can't bear to destroy it. So he regarded it as his subordinate and stepped on it with his foot for fear that it would slip away. This is the origin of the northern emperor stepping on turtles and snakes.

Guanyin Pavilion on Nanfeng Mountain is also a sacred place for local good men and women to worship all the year round. Guanyin Dan has many pilgrims coming from afar every year, and the incense keeps burning.
