Is Xiangshan a good place to travel?

Xiangshan is located in the hilly coastal area of ??eastern Zhejiang. The mountainous area is 793 square kilometers, accounting for about 70% of the total area. Most of the county is hilly with a height of less than 200 meters, with gentle slopes and rolling hills. The general terrain features are many hills, low mountains and gentle slopes.

The terrain of the county slopes from northwest to southeast. The remnants of the Tiantai Mountains extend eastward from Ninghai County to the Xiangshan Peninsula, forming the highest part of the Ningxiang junction in the northwest of the county. These mountain peaks are majestic and have many peaks, with the main peaks being more than 500 meters. Among them, Dongbi Mountain meanders from the Tea Mountain in Ninghai County, with continuous peaks. The main peak is 810.8 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in the county. To the southeast is Niuliogang, which is 756 meters above sea level and is the second highest peak in the county. There are more than 20 peaks with an altitude of 300-700 meters around.

Mountains are generally 200-450 meters high and widely distributed. There are three main mountains in the county: Juexi Mountain, Huangbi'ao Mountain and Nanxiang Mountain.

Pingchoujianbu

Most of the plains in Xiangshan are scattered in coastal areas. These plains are mostly formed by siltation from bays and artificial encirclement. They are called marine plains. Distributed in Xiangshan Port in the north, bays in the east and Sanmen Bay in the south. It is characterized by its large area and wide scope, occupying a dominant position in the Xiangshan Plain. Among them, Nanzhuang Plain and Dingshan Plain are the largest, and have historically been known as the "upper 80,000 acres" and the "lower 80,000 acres".

In addition, Xiangshan also has an impact plain, with the piedmont impact fan as the main form. Because the mountains within the territory are low and the hinterland is short and shallow, the area is not large. Dancheng, Baishi, Jiuqing, and Meixi areas are more typical.

The main form of flood plains is valley plains, which are mostly narrow and long in shape and are mostly located in valleys.

The source of Xiangshan River is short and fast, and it flows into the sea alone. The water systems with a drainage area of ??more than 20 square kilometers include Datanggang, Nandahe, Dangang, Xizhougang, Xiashangang, Dongtanghe and Fan'aogang. Among them, the Datanggang water system is located in Dingshan Plain, with a drainage area of ??134 square kilometers. The main stream of Datang Port was originally the inner port of Sanmen Bay. In 1975, it was blocked and stored as a river, with a length of 18 kilometers and an average width of 500 meters.

Banbian Mountain

The Banbian Mountain scenic spot in Xiangshan County is close to the vast East China Sea. It is a small peninsula surrounded by clear water on three sides. Setting sail from Shipu Port, it only takes 30 minutes by water on a small plane. The scenic seaside mountains are unique and majestic, the coastal reefs are beautiful and spectacular, and the pebble beaches are colorful and attractive.

Mengding Mountain

Mengding Mountain is located south of Xizhou Town. It is named because it is often covered with clouds and fog in spring and summer. There are three ways to climb the mountain: one goes up the mountain from Shadi Village at the north foot, along which there are many scenic spots such as Shangmashi, Fuhu Mountain, Huanxiling and so on. The path is winding and narrow; the other goes up the mountain from Laijia Village at the east foot. The narrow path is steep and difficult to climb; The other one goes up the mountain from the east of Bajiao Ridge in the south. The road is wide and gentle. Today, all the tea drinkers on the mountain use this road to go up and down.

Nanjiushan

Nanjiushan is the main island of the Jiushan Islands. It is one of the larger islands along the central coast of Zhejiang Province. It is located on the sea 32 kilometers east of Dancheng Town, Xiangshan County , the closest point to the mainland is 18.61 kilometers to the west. According to the "Xiangshan County Chronicle" of the Republic of China: "Jiushan Mountain is famous for its large leek." Since the island is located in the south of Zhoushan Islands, the bandits named it Nanjiashan Mountain after "South".

Tantoushan

Between Damu Yang and Maotou Yang in the southeast of Xiangshan Peninsula, there is an island with an area of ??more than 11 square kilometers. It is called Tantoushan.

Wushi Mountain

Wushi Mountain, also known as Wuzhi Mountain, is located at the junction of Maoyang Township, Dongchen Township and Xinqiao Town, with an altitude of 557 meters. It is one of the famous mountains in the county. There is a poem that goes: "On the sun, thousands of peaks are moving against the green wall, and the wind blows through the green pines and thousands of valleys are cold. The bird path is extremely small, the city is small, and the fragrance of flowers is all over the cave door." Looking at the majestic peak in the distance, it is tall and straight, and the wall is difficult to climb, just like five lions. Stroke also looks like five fingers coming together, so it is called "Five Lions" or "Five Fingers".

Yushan

There are many islands and reefs in Haicheng, Xiangshan County, and the famous Yushan Islands is one of them. The Yushan Islands are divided into South Yushan and Beiyushan. The often-called Yushantong refers to Beiyushan. Beiyushan covers an area of ??0.78 square kilometers. It is like a sea-holding pillar standing in the vast expanse of blue waves, or a piece of green emerald protected by the blue sea and sky.

Zhushan

Zhushan is located at the junction of Xianxiang and Tuci towns, also known as Zhuyan Mountain, with an altitude of 541 meters. Song Baoqing's "Four Ming Dynasties" records, "Zhushan, also known as Zhuyan Mountain, has a stone on the top of the mountain that is as round as a bead and is more than a hundred feet high, so it is named Zhuyan." In ancient times, there was a legend that "looking at the sea ships in the distance, the precious light on the top of the rock shines on the stars." It is also praised as "red jade piles and carved peaks", which is a major scenic spot in the county.

Gexizhang Reservoir is located 0.5km upstream of Gexizhang Village, Xizhou Town, Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province. It is an upstream tributary of the Dangang Water System, with a rainwater collection area of ??10.6km2 upstream of the dam site. Gexizhang Reservoir is a comprehensive utilization project mainly focusing on water supply and irrigation, combined with flood control, etc. It is a third-class project.

Xiangshan is located at 121°34′-122°20′ east longitude and 28°45′-29°49′ north latitude, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Its geographical location determines that Xiangshan has very obvious subtropical monsoon climate characteristics, that is, four distinct areas, no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, a long frost-free period (an average of about 248 days per year, and a growing season of 345 days), and sufficient sunlight (the average annual temperature (16-17℃), mild and humid, with abundant rainfall (the annual average precipitation is more than 1400mm).

Due to different topography, the temperature in the northwest and southeastern coastal areas of the county is slightly higher than that in the Shipu area in the southeast. The annual accumulated temperature in the northwest exceeds 6000°C; the annual precipitation, even in long drought years, is The mountainous areas in the northwest exceed the Shipu area in the southeast.

Organized tides

Xiangshan faces the sea on three sides, and many islands are surrounded by the sea. At this time, we will find that the sea water has a rising and falling phenomenon: it rises and falls twice a day. Flooding onto the beach, the reefs and beaches exposed above the water were submerged, and the water level in the bays and harbors increased. At a certain time, the sea water gradually dropped, and the exposed rocks and beaches were full of water again.

People call the rising tide of sea water and the falling tide of sea water called ebb tide. When the water reaches its highest point, it is called high tide, and when it reaches its lowest point, it is called low tide. When the tide rises during the day, we call it "tide"; when the tide rises at night, we call it "tide"; the regular rise and fall of sea water are collectively called tides.

Xiangshan is a large ocean county, with a regular semi-diurnal tidal zone along the coast. Tides are closely related to the life and production of the people in Xiangshan. Mastering the laws of tides is of great significance for fishing, salt drying, artificial breeding, arranging the entry and exit of ships in seaports and estuaries, and typhoon prevention.

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. The earth's gravitational pull on the seawater on the ground is millions of times greater than that of the moon and the sun, so the seawater remains on the earth and will not be sucked away by the moon and the sun. However, both the moon and the sun attract the ocean like large magnets, which can swell the water near them and cause tides.

Although the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun is to the earth, the moon's gravitational pull on the earth is much greater than that of the sun. Tides are mainly caused by the moon. When a certain place on the earth faces or faces away from the moon, this place is subject to the greatest force of the moon, and the sea water rises to form a high tide area; the sea water in other areas flows to the high tide area, forming an ebb tide area.

When the earth rotates once, a certain place must face the moon once and face away from the moon once, so there are two high tides, and there are two low tides between the two high tides.

Xiangshan fishing proverb: "On the third day of the third lunar month, the water is low. On the eighth and twenty-third lunar months, the water is low." The relative positions of the moon and the sun to the earth have a great influence on ocean tides. For example, when the moon and the sun are in a straight line with the earth, the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the earth adds up, causing unusual ocean tides. This kind of ocean tide is called a spring tide. It occurs once on the third and eighteenth day of each month in the lunar calendar; when the moon and the earth When the two lines connecting the moon and the earth are at right angles, the gravity is weak and the tide is very low. This kind of tide is called a neap tide. The tide level in Xiangshan is the highest on the third and eighteenth day of the lunar month; the lowest tide level is on the eighth and twenty-third day of the lunar month in mid-January.

Natural Oxygen Bar

According to measurements, oxygen accounts for about 20.7% of the atmospheric environment we live in. An adult's daily metabolism requires about 500 liters of oxygen. The oxygen storage capacity in the human body is only about 1.5 liters. The rest can only be replenished by breathing oxygen in the air.

The forest coverage area of ??Xiangshan reaches 58%, and the per capita public green area of ??Xiangshan is 11.89 square meters. The annual average temperature is 16-17°C. According to the determination of relevant experts, all indicators of the atmosphere in the Xiangshan area meet the high-quality exclusive conditions. In particular, the content of negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter of the atmosphere in Xiangshan is as high as 14,700, fully reaching the national resort level. First level standard. When the negative oxygen ion content per cubic centimeter reaches 100,000-1 million, the air itself has the effect of preventing and treating diseases. The negative oxygen ion content in the atmosphere is generally 400-700 per cubic centimeter. Therefore, the natural "green" air in Xiangshan is known as the "natural oxygen bar".

The land area of ??Xiangshan is 1,175 square kilometers, which is composed of the basic pattern of "seven mountains, one water and two fields". It belongs to the subtropical oceanic monsoon climate zone, with a forest coverage rate of more than 56%, warm and humid, and four distinct seasons. There is abundant rainfall, and the balance of heat absorption and dissipation is balanced. It is a place with relatively good living conditions; however, typhoons are frequent, often accompanied by violent storms, the water system has short sources and fast flows, and flows alone into the sea. The engineering regulation and storage performance is weak, and the river network The density is low and there are potential risks of drought and flood disasters. The county's multi-year average rainfall is 1,463 mm, and the multi-year average water resource runoff total is 933 million cubic meters. The spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall runoff decreases from northwest to southeast, and is concentrated during plum rains and typhoons, with a bimodal shape. The interannual variation is extremely deviated from equilibrium, with the largest variation being 2.83. As well as the limitations of engineering geology, topography, submerged migration and economic conditions, water resources development and utilization are difficult to develop and utilize.

Xiangshan County is rich in marine resources and is one of the best areas in East China that integrates various marine resources such as "fishing, ports, islands, and beaches". In recent years, in accordance with the goals of "fishery industrialization, industry diversification, and fishing port urbanization", the joint development of "fishing, ports, and scenery" has been implemented, and efforts have been made to promote the leapfrog from a major fishery county in the country to a strong marine economy county. The fishery economy is more closely integrated with the industrial economy and tourism economy. In 2003, the total output of aquatic products was 564,000 tons. After years of development, the county has more than 1,500 steel fishing boats with more than 250 horsepower. Its offshore fishing capacity ranks among the best in the province and even the country. It has been awarded the title of advanced county in fishery production at the national, provincial and municipal levels many times.

In the face of various difficulties such as the decline of marine fishing resources, shrinking fishing grounds, and rising production costs, we must actively adjust the structure of fishing operations, optimize and upgrade the marine aquaculture industry, deepen the aquatic product processing industry, and guide transitioning fishermen to engage in aquaculture, offshore transportation, coastal catering, and leisure fisheries and other industries. Aquaculture has achieved new development, with deep-water wind and wave-resistant cage culture leading the country, and seaweed culture and seawater pond culture ranking among the best in the province. The processing capacity of aquatic products has been continuously improved, and high-tech enterprises such as Chaoxing have emerged that use marine biotechnology to process aquatic products. Port development was accelerated. Shipu Port is one of the six major central fishing ports in the country and a first-class mass fishing port in the country. With Shipu Fishing Port as the center and "one town and two islands" (Shipu Town, Nantian Island and Gaotang Island) as an organic whole, the fishing port economic zone is undergoing overall planning and development.

Marine tourism has suddenly emerged. Rich in marine tourism resources, with lush vegetation, fresh air, and delicious seafood, it is one of the four major sectors of marine tourism in Zhejiang Province and one of the best areas for developing marine tourism in East China. Since 1997, Xiangshan's tourism industry has grown from nothing to flourishing. At present, the county has initially formed a large-scale tourism industry with "one belt, three districts, and ten major products" (Baili Golden Coast Tourist Belt and Songlan Mountain Leisure Resort, Shipu Port Fishing Culture Tourist Area, and Datang Port Ecological Sightseeing Tourist Area). Development pattern, becoming an important coastal tourist resort in the Yangtze River Delta region.
