Hailing Island in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province has not only world-class blue sea and silver sand, but also beautiful mangroves.

Yangjiang is a coastal city in southern Guangdong. During the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was the seat of the ancient Gaoliang County and the Sui Dynasty Lady Xian's shogunate, and it was also an important transit station and supply station of the Maritime Silk Road. It has beautiful landscapes represented by the top ten most beautiful islands in China, the first batch of Hailing Island in National Ocean Park and Lingxiao Rock in National Geopark. It is an excellent tourist city in China and an important tourist destination in Guangdong. In the activity of "Looking at Yangjiang through Global Tourism", we spent four days visiting Yangjiang Kite Museum, Guan Shanyue's former residence, Moon Bay, Shaba Bay, Gold Coast, Beiluo Secret Land, Dajiaowan and other famous tourist attractions, including one.

Hailing Island Mangrove National Wetland Park is located in Shen Qian Bay, Hailing Island, Yangjiang City, with a total area of about 6.08 square kilometers. The whole park is a multi-functional ecological park with subtropical mangrove wetland as its landscape feature, ecological protection as its mainstay, and sightseeing, leisure and popular science education as its supplement. It belongs to one of the "new eight scenic spots" in Hailing Island, and has the longest cross-sea wooden plank road built first in the province, multiple viewing pavilions and supporting functional facilities.

Walking on the wooden plank road and leaning against the railing, the mangrove forest is like an oasis floating on the sea, and there is an island shaped like a mouse in the distance, named Mouse Mountain. According to legend, it is the embodiment of the first "deputy god" in the zodiac. In order to protect this sea area, it fought against evil forces, and later became the Rat Mountain and became the patron saint here. There are some cultural landscapes on the mountain, such as Ganting Pavilion, Quentin Pavilion, Minxin Pavilion, Qingfeng Pavilion, Reading Pavilion, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and stone carving, purple sacred stone, pearl well and oath ring. The mountains are lush, with lush vegetation and pleasant scenery, which is a good place for many people to relax, sightseeing and climb mountains.

According to the staff, the mangrove wetland park in Hailing Island is extremely rich in plant resources, including 7 kinds of mangroves, including paulownia, Avicennia marina and Kandelia candel. There are 0/89 species of birds, 29 species of crustaceans and 25 species of fish. Moreover, because the local shallow sea is rich in seafood, seabirds such as egrets often feed here. When docked at the seaside, they sometimes fly in the air, which is in harmony with Xia Hong and mangroves.

Mangrove is a unique geographical landscape in tropical and subtropical coasts with unique customs. At high tide, mangroves are basically submerged and only a few treetops can be seen; When the tide ebbs, it is all exposed, restoring the image of mangroves, just like "undersea forests". From a distance, you can see trunks, branches and roots, as if you can't see the endless green ocean. Strolling under wetland parks and plank roads, small animals like the above can be seen everywhere. There are countless small fish and crabs, many of which are good at camouflage. It is not easy to find them without careful observation.

We noticed that the trees in mangroves are very distinctive. For example, the Kandelia candel tree in the above picture is a typical mangrove tree, belonging to shrubs or small trees, with a maximum height of 3 meters, reddish-brown bark, thick branches and swollen nodes. Leaf blade elliptic, oblong-elliptic or subovate, with inconspicuous veins; Likes to grow in muddy beaches with deep silt alluvial in the bay, is suitable for growing in beaches with high salt content and areas where fresh water overflows, and is resistant to flooding.

It is understood that most of these plants in mangroves are viviparous plants. The seeds of common plants will leave the mother's body when they mature, and then germinate and grow under suitable conditions. When the seeds of mangroves mature, they will germinate directly in the fruit, absorb nutrients from the mother tree, grow into seedlings, and then live independently from the mother tree.

Most of these mangrove plants grow in the intertidal zone that is often submerged by seawater, which makes them have the dual characteristics of terrestrial plant community and marine plant community and play a special role in the natural ecological balance. Mangrove community not only plays an important role in promoting the formation of soil sediments, filtering organic matter and pollutants, and purifying water quality in wetland ecosystem, but also has the functions of resisting tidal and flood shocks, slowing down wind and waves, regulating water flow, and protecting embankments.

We noticed that outside the mangrove forest, there was a tidal flat left after the ebb tide. People who live by the sea will catch up with the ebb and flow to salvage or collect seafood on the beaches and reefs along the coast according to the law of ebb and flow, which is what people often say.

Among the people who catch the sea, there are not only local fishermen who make a living by catching the sea, but also foreign tourists who catch the sea for the pleasure of catching the sea, and many children are involved. For them, it doesn't matter whether they gain or not, what matters is to experience the fun.

It was getting late at that time, and some fishermen chasing the sea had already started to call it a day. Look at them carrying heavy bags, it seems that they have gained a lot and should be able to sell them at a good price.

Some people call it a day, others are still working hard. Watching them operate fishing gear and slide on the beach, they should be looking for shellfish or crabs, right? There is a bucket beside it, it's too far. I don't know harvest geometry.

It was a bad day. Fortunately, in the evening, when the sun went down, I deliberately appeared in the clouds for a while. The afterglow of the sun gently sprinkled on the sea through the clouds, dyeing the beach and the sea golden. A sea driver in the distance looks lonely at the seaside.

In the other direction, a fisherman shuttled back and forth on the shallow beach with a triangular fishing net, and his telephoto was reduced. It seems that he found a little disharmony, which turned out to be the battery on his back. Guess what he is doing? I hope it's just fishing, not electric fish.

Hailing Island Mangrove Wetland Park is very large. We went just in time for the low tide, so there were quite a few people rushing to the sea. They took the Eight Immortals across the sea, showed their magical powers, lived in different areas, used different tools, and estimated the targets they were looking for differently. Maybe they all achieved good results.

The wooden plank road in the wetland park is very long, extending to the mouse island in front. The first section is full of mangroves, followed by a large beach, and behind the beach is a piece of Wang Yang sea. A large number of ships moored at sea do not know the specific purpose, but from the appearance, it is estimated that most of them are fishing boats.

When the weather was bad that day, we saw several birds flying by from time to time, most of them were too far away to take good photos, and from time to time a few were close, only to see them wandering on the beach, looking for prey.

We walked along the plank road and took photos. When I arrived at Mouse Mountain, it was almost time to gather, so I gave up the plan to climb Mouse Mountain and went back the same way. On the road, I saw many old people still walking inside. After asking, I realized that they were all local fishermen. Walking in the park after supper has become their living habit. For us, this is just a small scenic spot passing by, but for them, this is a place where generations live. It is also their homeland. Growing up here, eating by the sea has deep feelings. They said that the conditions are good now and the plank road has been built. They walk along the plank road every day, one is to exercise, and the other is to look at this sea, so they feel practical and satisfied.
