(1) Wind-driven Stone Scenic Area

Dongshan Wind-driven Stone is located on the seashore cliff at the east gate of Dongshan Ancient City. It has always been a natural wonder that people on the island are most proud of and treasure, and it is also one of the favorite scenic spots for tourists.

Dongshan pneumatic boulder stands on a steep cliff, with a height of 4.37 meters, a width of 44.47 meters, a length of 4.46 meters, and a weight of about 2 tons. It has a round top and a shape like a peach tree, and stands proudly on a rock that lies on the ground and inclines to the sea. The contact surface between the two stones is only more than ten square centimeters. When the strong wind blows, the boulder gently wobbles. If a person lies on his back on the rock and pushes his feet, the boulder will also shake, but it will not fall down. People standing under the pneumatic stone have a thrilling feeling, sighing as a wonder of the world, hence the name "pneumatic stone", and the poem says: "The wind blows a stone and moves ten thousand horses."

(2) Dongmenyu

Dongmenyu, also known as Tayu, is located on the east side of Tongling Town, Dongshan Island. The whole island is I-shaped with an area of 8.514 hectares. Because it brings together the beauty of natural scenery and human landscape, it is called "the fairy mountain on the sea". Together with Jiangxin Island in Wenzhou, Gulangyu Island in Xiamen and Lanyu Island in Taiwan Province, it is called the four famous islands in China.

The hills on Tayu Island are winding and varied. Natural caves and valleys in the south have different shapes. There are excellent beaches in the middle. In the north, there are Dongming Temple, natural beaches and caves with beautiful scenery.

From Tongling Town to the east, on the sea 8 meters away from Fengdong Stone Scenic Area, Dongmenyu, a "sea fairy mountain", is like a huge natural landscape bonsai, lying still in the blue sea and green waves. Dongmen Island has beautiful natural scenery and numerous cultural landscapes. It is also known as the four famous islands in China along with Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, Jiangxinyu Island in Wenzhou and Lanyu Island in Taiwan Province.

Dongmenyu is not big or high, with an area of only 1 square kilometer, and the highest peak is only 91 meters above sea level. Because of its unique coast, numerous strange rocks and beautiful natural scenery, the island has attracted a number of film and television workers. Up to now, more than 2 films and TV series have been filmed here. The "Dr. Matthew Island" in China's first sci-fi film "Dead Light on Coral Island" is Dongmenyu. The Journey to the West's movies and TV series, such as Love in the Sea and Crossing the Sea by Eight Immortals, also use Dongmenyu as the shooting base for location. What attracts TV and film artists so much in Dongmenyu is her natural landscape, which is full of charm and natural beauty without any carving. Dongmenyu is therefore also called "natural studio".

The whole island of Dongmenyu is I-shaped, which is divided into three parts: the south section, the middle section and the north section. The southern section of Dongmenyu consists of several hills, which is the most abundant and concentrated area on the island. Different forms of grotesque cave landscapes formed by natural reefs are scattered in the meantime, and the scenery is beautiful. There are many cultural landscapes dotted with rich connotations. The greening rate on the island is extremely high, the trees are green, the sea breeze is blowing, and it is refreshing with a touch of earth. The natural landscape mainly includes Eagle Mouth Rock, fisherman fishing, tortoise welcoming guests, gecko playing elephant, toad looking up to the sky, mandarin duck playing monkey and so on. The cultural landscape mainly includes Dongming Temple, Wenfeng Pagoda, Yunshan Stone Chamber, Wenchang Pavilion and Zhongdeju. The middle section of Dongmenyu Island is the link between the southern section and the northern section, which is mainly a strip-shaped beach with a length of about 2 meters. A windbreak belt in the middle divides the beach into two parts, the beach in the east is called "Bei 'ao Tail" and the beach in the west is called "Tai 'ao Bottom". Both beaches are good places for swimming and surfing. The beige beach, slightly curved, arches a bay of clean sea water, just forming a huge "X" shape. When the wind blows, the waves are rough elsewhere, but here are just microwave waves; When there is a breeze, there are fine waves elsewhere, but the water here is as flat as a mirror, which is a good natural bathing beach. The windbreak belt in the middle has been opened into a forest farm, and a large number of fruit trees, such as oranges, have been introduced; A variety of flowers, such as bougainvillea and oleander, have been cultivated. After playing the sea, you can taste fruits and enjoy flowers, which is also a good enjoyment. The northern section of Dongmenyu Island is called "Fo 'ao", surrounded by reefs and small beaches along the seashore, with several hills in the middle. The vegetation on the mountains is green, mainly with wind-proof, sand-proof and alkali-resistant tree species, such as Casuarina equisetifolia and acacia. On the south seashore of this section, there is a Dongming Temple, which was built in the Ming Dynasty. It used to be just a small temple. In recent years, believers at home and abroad raised huge sums of money to expand it, and built temples such as the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the Temple of the King of Heaven and the reclining Buddha altar, with a total area of more than 6, square meters, forming a large-scale Buddhist temple group. There are small beaches, rocks and caves in the south of the temple, and there are many stone inscriptions dotted among them. The surrounding natural scenery is beautiful, and the mountains are lush and quiet. After on-the-spot investigation, research and analysis of many prehistoric rock paintings recently discovered in Dongmenyu, Dongshan Island, Chinese and American archaeologists believe that it is similar to many rock paintings discovered in Taiwan Province in age, with basically the same tools and carving techniques, and has the same cultural characteristics, which provides extremely precious material evidence for further research on the history, culture, economic situation and customs of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and proves that Taiwan Province's rock paintings are rooted in the mainland, and Dongshan Island has a close geographical relationship with Taiwan Province since ancient times, and the cultures of the two places are in the same strain.

A team of 11 archaeological experts, including Fujian Provincial Museum, Xiamen University, Bishop Museum in Hawaii, and Dongshan County Museum, conducted a 2-day archaeological investigation on Dongshan Island. On the hillside rocks about 3 to 4 meters east of Wenfeng Tower, the main peak of Dongmenyu Island, experts found seven or eight sun-patterned rock paintings, forming a spectacular group of sun-patterned rock paintings. On the west side, north side, northeast side and east side of the rock painting, there are huge rocks, and you can see stones when you look up. On the southeast side and south side, you have a wide field of vision and face the endless sea. The path running through the top of the mountain passes through the north side of the rock painting, and the steep slope of the main peak is 2 meters away from the south side of the rock painting. There is a huge stone opposite to the right front (east) of the rock painting, and the distance between the rock painting and the huge stone is 3 meters, forming a flat land of about 12 square meters. In addition, there are small flat rock faces on the south and southeast sides of the rock paintings.

Dr. Jiao Tianlong, director of Asia Department of Bishop Museum in Hawaii, USA, and a doctor of Harvard University, said that in 27, Chinese and American archaeologists first discovered a sun-patterned rock painting in Dongmenyu, and this time, so many prehistoric rock paintings were discovered, which is the first time in Fujian coastal areas, indicating that human beings lived and lived here as early as prehistoric times.

dongmenyu is known as the fairy mountain on the sea. It is located on the sea two kilometers away from the east gate of Tongshan ancient city, so it is called Dongmenyu, and because there is Wenfeng Tower on the island, it is also called Tayu. Together with Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, Jiangxinyu Island in Wenzhou and Lanyu Island in Taiwan Province, it is also known as the four famous islands in China. Dongmenyu, with an area of nearly 1 square kilometer, is an island with an approximate "earth" shape. The highest point, Wenfeng, is 91.3 meters above sea level. Dongmenyu is called the fairy mountain on the sea because it brings together the beauty of natural scenery and human landscape.

The south section of Tayu Island is the main section of the scenic spot, where the natural landscape and human landscape are skillfully combined to achieve a seamless level; The middle section is the link connecting the southern section and the northern section, and it is a strip-shaped sand belt with a length of about 2 meters. The east and west sides of it are beaches near the sea, and the middle part is a north-south forest belt. The beach in the east is called "North Aowei" and the beach in the west is called "Tai Ao Di". The creator intends to create this comfortable long embankment between the East Gate Island of this rocky cliff, so that it can complement the grotesque rocks. If it's fine weather, it would be great to watch the sunrise on this long beach of grass; The northern section is a virgin land with endless expanses. Many places here have primitive and wild waves, rocks and green trees. Only in the southwest, there is a temple island that is almost floating on the sea and crawling on the low hills. The rocks are rugged, and the stone boat, the fisherman, the fish pond, the carp stone, the tortoise, the Huangmei stone, the platform, and the Eagle Mouth Rock are vivid and varied. On the island, there are Wenfeng Pagoda built in the Ming Dynasty and the reading place of Huang Daozhou, a famous calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty-Yunshan Stone Room and Eagle Stone Cave. There is an elegant and unique ancient temple "Dongming Temple" and "Wenchang Pavilion" that has been renovated ...... The island is full of lush grass and lush trees. Boarding the sea pavilion, overlooking the sea, the smoke waves are vast and sparkling, the fishing sails are dotted, and the seagulls are right, just like being in Penglai Island. The main landscapes on the island are Wenfeng Pagoda, Wenchang Pavilion, Fisherman Stone, Eagle Mouth Rock, Yunshan Stone Chamber and Dongming Temple.

Eagle Mouth Rock Scenic Area Eagle Mouth Rock is located in Tianxin Scenic Area in the north of the mountain. From Guyaju Caves to the west for several hundred meters, you can see a huge rock shaped like an eagle. Eagle Mouth Rock is a seamless giant rock, with a bare rock top, a protruding east end and a sharp curve like a beak, just like an eagle spreading its wings and fighting the sky. In particular, an ancient juniper grows on the hook-shaped "Eagle Mouth", adding charm and elegance to the Eagle Mouth Rock, which is amazing and unique. Therefore, she is also known as the most peculiar rock peak in Wuyi Mountain. The resort is about 6.5 kilometers away from Eagle Mouth Rock

From the sky frame to the west for several hundred meters, you can see a huge rock shaped like an eagle. "The eagle is independent and healthy, with a sharp beak and a realistic head. Is it that the sacred mountain hates all birds, and wants you to fight the dust? " It vividly depicts the majestic posture of Eagle Mouth Rock.

Eagle Mouth Rock is on the south side of Zhangtang River, like an eagle with its head held high to the east, with a juniper in its mouth, which is the best scene among the 99 rocks in Wuyi. Eagle Eagle Mouth Rock

There is Danxia Zhang in the north of Mouth Rock, which is near Zhangtang River, and there is a hole in the wall. It is said that during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a rich man in Chong 'an City was afraid of being liquidated by the peasant rebels, so he fled here with his family and hid in the hole. Later, he built a pavilion in the cave and installed a pulley to facilitate getting up and down, which was called the sky frame. Today, the pavilion has been abandoned, and the sky frame has not existed, leaving only relics for people to watch and become a scene.

Eagle Mouth Rock is a seamless rock, with a bare rock top, a protruding east end and a sharp curve like a beak. Surprisingly, the first ancient juniper with crooked branches grew on the hook-shaped "Eagle's Mouth", which added a bit of elegance and spirit to the eagle's mouth. The rock wall cut straight from the top of the rock was smooth and bright, and the slightly arched rock ridge was dark and faintly cracked, just like full wings.

Standing by the Zhangtang River and looking up at the Eagle Mouth Rock, I saw it standing on the top of the mountain, looking up at the blue sky, trying to soar and fight the sky, which was extremely magnificent.

(3) Widow Village Scenic Area

On May 1th, 195, the Kuomintang retreated from Dongshan Island, and * * * took away more than 4,7 young people. In this village with only over 2 households, 147 young and strong men were forced to go to Taiwan. Overnight, my hometown was shocked, and my flesh and blood were separated, and I was sad. Unexpectedly, the strait was isolated, and it took more than half a century. On this tragic stage, people saw a shocking scene: hundreds of women who lost their husbands in the military disaster came to the beach in droves, burning incense and spilling wine on the east bank of the strait in the depths of the sea of clouds, not knowing whether their loved ones were dead or alive, so they could only send them away. How many times, they whimpered and called her husband, only to hear the sound of the waves echoing; How many times, they looked forward to returning to the boat with tears in their eyes, but saw no sails and only clouds. These unfortunate women, their loyalty to love and their desire for reunion, can be proved by the blue sky and the sea! As a result, this village has another bitter name-"Widow Village".

This village is Tongbo Village, which is located in the northeast corner of Dongshan Island, adjacent to Tongling Town in the east, Maluan Bay in the west, Chengkun Village in the north, and the vast Taiwan Province Strait in the south, facing the treasure island of the motherland. In order to let people remember that period of history, avoid that period of history forever, and warn future generations: don't forget that "the fate of every family is closely linked to the fate of the big family of the motherland." People in the village have set up a village history exhibition room-Widow Village Exhibition Hall

The Widow Village Exhibition Hall is located in Tongbo Village, Kangmei Town, Dongshan County, with an area of 1.2 square meters and a construction area of 2,2 square meters. The main building is a three-story garden-style building with a total investment of 4.5 million yuan.

stepping into the exhibition hall, six gold-plated characters of "Widow Village Exhibition Hall" inscribed by He Jingzhi, a famous poet and former vice minister of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, are engraved at the top of the gate. The spacious and bright central hall is the preface hall of the exhibition hall, and the preface desk made of black granite is placed in the center, which is particularly solemn. On both sides of the wall, there are two bronze reliefs "Catch Ding" and "Reunion", which are in strong contrast with different times and different characters' artistic shapes; They span the long time and space, and systematically show the whole story from arrest to reunion.

the main exhibition area is on the second floor. The main exhibition hall is divided into three parts: "catastrophe on earth", "elegy of the world" and "dawn of the strait". The first part, "Human catastrophe", uses a large number of precious historical photos to comprehensively introduce the historical background and process of the Ding Arrest on Dongshan Island on the eve of liberation in 195, lists 4,792 able-bodied men, and focuses on the "5.1" Ding Arrest in Tongbo Village. The second part is "elegy for the world", which uses a large number of objects, models, sound and light, and selects representative and universal events such as "net bucket and song album", "single bucket" and "dummy bowl chopsticks" and extremely typical and wonderful examples such as "Dongting Lake flute weeping blood", "shoes waiting for 38 years" and "gold ring" to tell people about this. The third part, "Dawn of the Strait", focuses on the earth-shaking changes of Dongshan Island in the past half century with a large number of pictures, and finally focuses on the vicissitudes of Tongbo Village, a village that is hard to find on the map of China.

the third floor of the exhibition hall is a multifunctional video data area. The hall has nearly 1 seats, and is equipped with 34-inch color TV sets and playback equipment for visitors to watch relevant film and television materials while resting, or to hold a small symposium temporarily, leaving an excellent space for the people who watch the exhibition to ponder.

Since the opening of the "Widows' Village" exhibition hall on August 7th, 1999, visitors have come one after another. Central, provincial and municipal leaders, military officers and soldiers, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, overseas Chinese, journalists from news organizations at home and abroad, and cadres and workers from government agencies, enterprises and institutions throughout the county came to visit. The social influence of the "Widow Village" exhibition hall is expanding day by day, and she is attracting more and more people with her tragic beauty. It is her tragic power that shocks, enlightens and inspires the hearts of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. As the conclusion of the exhibition said: from home to country, fate always depends on each other. Although the name "widow's village" has become history, the tragedy of life and death for half a century vividly shows the bitter history of the unfortunate separation between the two sides of the strait. The tragedy can no longer continue, and the motherland must be reunified. This is the revelation of the fate of the widow's village.

(4) Jiuxian Mountain Scenic Area

Jiuxian Mountain, commonly known as Jiuxianding, is located in the northwest of Tongling Town, Dongshan Island. Because it is a military important place in the southeast coast of China in past dynasties, it is also called Shuizhai Mountain. It is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in Fujian and the first batch of provincial-level scenic spots announced by the provincial government in 1986. Follow the trail on the south side of Jiuxian Mountain and walk for a hundred meters, and you will see a winding path, covered with giant banyan trees, moss attached to boulders, and the sound of birds. It is a cool, quiet, mysterious and detached world.
