Sandun Island is so beautiful, why not build a tourist area? Aerial photography reveals a huge project in Qinzhou

There is an island in Qinzhou, Guangxi. It has pleasant scenery, clear sea water, and the most beautiful maritime road in Guangxi. It attracts tourists from all over the country to stop for sightseeing during holidays. It is most suitable for self-driving camping, barbecue and fishing. You can dig snails, watch the sea, watch the sunrise and sunset, but Qinzhou, such a beautiful place, has not been fully utilized and developed into a tourist area. Why?

In fact, Sandun Island was planned as early as ten years ago. Tourism is not its purpose. When this maritime highway was built ten years ago, it was really in full swing, with hundreds of construction vehicles every day. Pulling earthwork to fill the sea, a vast army of engineering vehicles filled in a 60-meter-wide and 13-kilometer-long maritime highway leading to Sandun Island within a year.

This road was more fun a few years ago when it was just completed, because there was no shipyard under construction at that time. There was a large shallow beach, the water was very clean, and the sand was very fine. It's a pity that the beach was buried after the China Shipyard started construction.

At that time, very few people knew about Sandun Island, and most of them were people from around Qinzhou Port. There was no self-media industry at that time, and there were very few tourists. It was only in 2018 that Sandun Island became popular. Since the beginning of 2017, my article and video about Sandun Island tourism has accumulated more than 1.2 million views on the entire Internet. I don’t know if it is because of me. Since then, Sandun Island has attracted more and more people. Come here to play, many self-media people also come here to do programs, and then spread the word, and even more people know about it. As a result, during holidays, this sea highway is crowded with cars, and there are many people parked on both sides of the road. The endless vehicles are so spectacular.

Now Sandun has begun construction again. Last year, it dug a pipeline and built a crude oil pipeline. Now it is working on a Tongkun petrochemical project. This project has also filled in the only remaining beach. Although there are still some at present, they will disappear after completion, and there will be no place to play on the beach in the future.

Construction is not only taking place on land, but also in the sea. A large sea cofferdam has been completed, and then sand will be blown into the cofferdam to form land.

A deep-water crude oil terminal has been built three kilometers away from the land. In the future, it will be connected to the pipelines on the shore to continuously transport crude oil from tankers to various petrochemical plants in Qinzhou Port. It turns out that Sandun All the island's infrastructure is designed to support these petrochemical plants.

Let’s take a look at Qinzhou City’s fiscal revenue in 2019 and we can see the clues. Qinzhou Port Area alone has fiscal revenue of 8.4 billion, not including the China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park, which is a tiny place. , where did you get so much money? Just make up your mind.

(Unit: 10,000 yuan)

Let’s take a look at the 30-ton crude oil deepwater terminal under construction. I was fortunate to go to the terminal with the construction team to take photos of the construction of the project. Precious images. This pier looks very spectacular and majestic from the air. The entire pier is built in the sea and floats on the sea like a pontoon.

The terminal is about 2.5 kilometers long and about 3 kilometers away from the land. There is a crude oil pipeline and a one-way traffic lane on the terminal. It is a connection project that connects oil tankers and land oil storage tanks. After completion, oil tankers will not have to dock to unload oil. The crude oil will be directly transported from here to various refineries on the shore through long pipelines, which will greatly reduce the consumption of crude oil on the shore. Shipping costs and risks.

Although tourism is not developed here, you can still come here to play, especially the sunset and sunrise on the island, which are very beautiful and give people a warm feeling and a romantic warmth.

This is the reason why Sandun Island has unique tourism resources but does not do tourism. It is all planned for the large-scale industrial construction of Qinzhou Port. Maybe one day in the future, when the time is ripe, it will Build a tourist area in a certain area of ??the island, and let us look forward to a better future for it!
