It is about10km from Xiaonansha in the north, 86km from Guangzhou and 6km from Xinken Town in the southwest. Longxue Island consists of Longxue Island Tourist Area, Kibaosha and _ sand. The whole island covers an area of 65 square kilometers and is the largest island in Nansha.

I. Longxue Island Tourist Area

Longxue Island Tourist Area, formerly known as Longxue Island, consists of Longxue, Tonggu and Yao Bei, covering an area of about 2.8 square kilometers and located in the east of Longxue Island. The northwest is away from Wanqingsha Town10.2km.. The northwest of Longxue Island Tourist Area is a river and sea alluvial plain, which was reclaimed after the 1950s and covers an area of about 0.5 square kilometers.

Longxue Island Tourist Area turned out to be a desert island. There are more than 60 meters high Longxue Mountain on the island, surrounded by green hills, shaded by trees and boundless rivers and seas, which is a wonder. Around the island beach, there is a natural swimming pool that can pick up pebbles and shells. There are 8 ancient wells on the island. The well water is green and sweet, and it will not dry up in the year of drought, and the spring tide is not salty. Around the island, many sea caves are formed due to tidal erosion. They are called Carp Palace, Shrimp Palace, Crab Palace, Dragon Palace and Treasure Cave. How long is the ancient banyan tree in the crevice by the sea? Despite the typhoon, they are as steady as ever. On the huge reef about 200 meters away from the island, there is a lighthouse built by Britain in light years, which can be waded through at low tide.

According to legend, there are several deep and open caves in the south of Longxue Island where the Dragon King of the South China Sea lives. There is also a legend that dragons often haunt the sea and take these caves on the island as caves, which is the origin of the name Longxue Island or Longxue Island. It is said that these caves were the treasure caves of Zhang Baozai, a famous pirate in Guangdong in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

The inland sea at the mouth of the ancient Pearl River was much wider than it is now. Dongguan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Panyu were still a Zeguo at that time. It was not until 1928 that several poor households in Dongguan settled here. By the 1980s, there were more than 600 residents here. At that time, there were power stations, agricultural machinery maintenance stations, travel agencies, supply and marketing cooperatives, aquatic products purchasing stations and grocery stores. The soil on the island is fertile, the arable land area is 0.5 square kilometers, and bananas, plantains and lotus roots are produced.

Longxue Island Tourist Area is a joint venture between the state-owned Pearl River Overseas Chinese Farm and Hong Kong Overseas Chinese Tourism Trading Company, named after the island. Based on its seawater, beaches, mythical modern caves, islands, buildings, seafood, bananas and other tourism resources.

The tourist area started construction in June 1980 1 1, and a beach swimming pool has been built. Longgong gatehouse, holiday villa, electronic playground, seafood restaurant, iron cable bridge, sun-watching pavilion, tunnel crossing, flower cave and other facilities. Guangzhou Shipping Company has built a steel pile berth wharf to ensure that it can still be safely anchored in the fourth-class wind and waves. Ships and motorcycles connect Guangzhou with Wanqingsha. Longxue Island Tourist Area has pleasant scenery, rich tourist resources and many tourists.

Second, _ sand

After the 1980s, two connected sandbanks were exposed in the southwest of the island, which were collectively called _ Sha, named after the two sandbanks became villages. The total sand consists of two small beaches, which are a mixture of river sand and silt, and are 0. 1 ~ 1 m above the low tide level. From northwest to southeast, it has a total length of about 10 km and a total area of about 20 square kilometers.

Third, the chicken is holding the sand.

Keppel Beach painting is located at the intersection of Jiaomen and Humen Waterway, about 1 km north of Nansha Town. It looks like Keppel Fish (river fish), hence its name. It is formed by siltation of river sand and silt, which is high in northwest and low in southeast. The longest distance in the center is about 9 kilometers, the water depth is about -0.3 meters, and the deepest point is about 1. 1 meter. It covers an area of about 26 square kilometers. The beach soil is fertile, and the output of sugarcane, lotus root, banana and plantain is quite high. Aquatic products such as fish and shrimp can also be cultivated in low-lying waters.

4. There are four wonders in Longxue Island.

1, a mirage

In the Ming Dynasty, Longxue Island belonged to Dongguan County. In the waters near Longxue Island, there are often haze and fog, and mirage often appears. On the third to fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Dongguan people gathered at Jingkang Salt Field in Humen, waiting to see the mirage on the island. At the moment when the spring rain was like smoke and the water was like a curtain, pavilions suddenly appeared on Qiongtai, and the streets and lanes were busy with people coming and going at sea. The county annals of Dongguan and Bao 'an have recorded the wonders of the mirage on the island many times: "Jing Kangchang is mostly seen in the sea city. When the night is dark, the sea light suddenly rises and the water is red." Countless lights come and go, and Jiao Ren, the snail girl, is laughing. I heard the sound of selling pearl brocade, counting money, counting grain and counting meters until dawn. "At that time, Dongguan poet Chen Jingji wrote a poem entitled" Jing Kang Hai Cheng ":"The sea and sky are like mountains, and the smoke can't be pulled away; Jiang Shen had no plans to serve Fengbo, which led to bloody construction. Too long a bridge is 10 million feet long, with cars and horses coming and going. Paint the water and the sky the same color and sing in the sun. "

Therefore, it is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Dongguan in Ming Dynasty. As can be seen from the above, Jing Kang Hai was a common sight at that time.

In the Qing Dynasty, Longxue Island, such as Xin 'an County (later named Baoan County), was still listed as a mirage among the eight scenic spots in Xin 'an. In the ninth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Xin 'an County ordered Ke-cheng Li to write a poem "Longdong Pagoda", saying, "Thirty years later, the sea has not lifted waves, and the dragon is breathing like clouds. The scenery on the roof can be varied, and the market is noisy all day. The origin of Shi Jiao is frequent, and Yingzhou has no intention to live forever. When he was still testing Longdong, he wanted to learn from Momo by riding a horse.

. "Xin 'an County Records" records: In the Qing Dynasty, "On July 5, the ninth year of Shunzhi, Longdong soared to Kowloon, passing through the village where I went up and down, for several miles." "Dongguan County Records" says here: "Taste the dragon in the meantime". Folklore: "Dragon Cave Island is a place where dragon people drink water. There is a fresh water spring on the island, and there are countless dragons rolling and fighting for it every time. Dragon Cave Island doesn't exist now, if it does, if it doesn't.

In this way, there are many mirage in Longxue Island. Its looming is nothing more than hitting the coast with the waves of the sea in the rain. As for the take-off of Kowloon, I'm afraid it is a natural phenomenon that a huge tornado rolled up nine water columns. It provides meteorologists with records of meteorological data. Great changes have taken place in the natural environment of Longxue Island since modern times. Due to excessive reclamation and natural river alluvial, the inland sea in the Pearl River Estuary is getting narrower and narrower, and the silt in the riverbed is turbulent, and the Jingkang Haicheng has long since disappeared without a trace. But the scenic Dragon Cave Island is still very popular with tourists.

2. Odd wells

There are eight ancient wells in Longxue Island, and the water flowing from the eyes is sweet and will not dry up after years. According to the old Dongguan County Records, Longxue Island played an important role on the ancient Maritime Silk Road. In the past, foreign ships and ships had to draw mountain springs from Longxue Island as spare fresh water when they returned to China.

3. Strange banyan trees

The ancient banyan, which grows under the hundred steps ladder, is rooted in the crevice sand of rocks and has a wide shade of nearly mu. Although urged by the wind and waves, it has been standing.

4. Strange caves

There are carp caves, shrimp caves, crab caves, Dragon Palace and treasure caves in the Donggu Mountain on Longxue Island, which are not only tortuous and interesting, but also warm in winter and cool in summer.
