Historical humanities

According to historical records, in 1936, in order to build the coastal airport, the original Qixingtan was filled in, and the residents of Qixingtan moved to the present Qixingtan Bay, calling themselves Qixingtan people. Over time, this bay is also known as the Seven Star Lake.

In the past, Qixingtan was a small fishing village. Although the sea area lacks natural bays and Macao, the Kuroshio brings various migratory fish resources. The flowing water along the coast is deep and fast, and the fish in the offshore area gather here, forming a natural fishing ground. In the early days, the fishing method of Qixingtan was "pulling", that is, fishing in a bamboo raft and then pulling it ashore by manpower. Fixed fishery technology was introduced during the Japanese occupation period. At present, Qixingtan has three fixed fishing grounds, Dongchang, Jinchao and Jiafeng, from north to south. Fishing nets are set according to the terrain and current. Fish in different seasons will enter the fishing net with the tide. Fishermen work three hours a day, including early morning, noon and evening. Some fishermen drive plastic rafts to go fishing in the peak season.

geographical environment

Qixingtan is actually a crescent-shaped bay formed by the orogeny of continental plate and Eurasian plate. From Qixingtan to the north coast of Laibi, the landform of sea terrace was formed due to the uplift of the crust. Due to the influence of monsoon, the coast is constantly washed and washed by waves, and the erosive coast is unobstructed. The coastline of Qilaibi protrudes into the sea, so the beach is covered with pebbles left by the river. These pebbles have been washed back and forth by the waves for many years and become round pebbles or crystal clear pebbles. Due to the huge scouring force of the waves, the sand was brought back to the bottom of the sea, leaving only a large white and beautiful pebble on the beach. Another feature of the stones here is that they are covered with lines of different thicknesses. It is called "stone painting rock" because the minerals in the stone are condensed after being squeezed, so that tourists who like stones will have unexpected gains.
