Jiangsu Tourism: Exploring the Yangtze River Estuary in Qidong (Figure)

For a long time, journalists have a desire to explore the real Yangtze River estuary. Why do you say that? Originated in August of 20 12, the reporter watched the spectacular scene of the Yellow River entering the sea in Kenli, Dongying, Shandong Province, and then went to the wetland park of Wusongkou Battery Province in Shanghai in early February of that year to find the landscape of the Yangtze River entering the sea. At that time, it was thought to be the Yangtze River estuary, but it was actually just the intersection of Huangpu River and Yangtze River, not the real Yangtze River estuary.

2018165438+1On the morning of October 26th, the reporter just finished the interview activity of "Cultural Renaissance-Shanghai Central Ceramic Art Exhibition", and was somewhat free, so after his friend Wang in Shanghai carefully visited and confirmed the real destination strategy of the Yangtze River estuary, the reporter and his friends Huang, Xu, Jin Fukang and Jin Fukang in Shanghai.

A group of reporters and three cars set off from different places in Shanghai and agreed to meet before arriving in Qidong. The reporter's car departs from Anting Villa Garden Hotel in Xuhui District at 7: 30 in the morning, leaves Shanghai along the outer ring road and enters the G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway. It has successively crossed Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge and Chongqi Yangtze River Bridge. After more than three hours' drive, I arrived at Yuantuojiao Scenic Spot in Qidong, Jiangsu at noon that day.

Qidong is located in the easternmost part of Jiangsu Province, with the sea in the east and north and the Yangtze River about to flow into the sea in the south, facing Chongming Island in Shanghai across the river. Surrounded by water on three sides, it looks like a peninsula, integrating golden waterway, golden coast and golden land. Because this is the place where the Yangtze River flows into the sea, an important gateway to rivers and seas, and the earliest sunrise in Jiangsu.

When I arrived at the Yuantuojiao Scenic Area, I just caught up with the all-round overall reconstruction and construction here. It is reported that Tuojiao in Qidong Garden, located at the intersection of the Yangtze River, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, will soon become a world-class tourist attraction at the mouth of the Yangtze River. And this "Camel Horn Project of New Lake Qidong Garden" is also in full swing.

Although I can't enter the scenic spot, the reporter's ultimate goal is to see the spectacular scene of the Yangtze River entering the sea, so I have to find a way to get to the seaside first. So, after many inquiries, our car finally found a way to the big coast. After turning left and right, the team of three cars finally came to the highway around the sea. It was really exciting to look at the endless sea. At this time, through mobile phone positioning, the blue dot in our location map is the intersection of the Yangtze River estuary.

Along the highway around the sea, our car stopped to inquire and finally saw the clear water color of muddy yellow river and blue sea. I saw a huge wave of smoke in my field of vision. On the sparkling sea, the Yangtze River, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea meet here in turn, and the spectacular sight of the three waters and the salty tide is really exciting.

In fact, there is a towering monument to the Yangtze River in Yuantuojiao Scenic Area. The overall shape is a ship about to sail. The cursive script "The Yangtze River enters the sea from now on" selected from the Collection of Mao Zedong's Ci is vigorous and powerful, which means that the Yangtze River crosses Qian Shan to meet Japan and flows into the sea. But we didn't see it because we didn't enter the scenic spot.

However, two landscapes, namely "the first whistle of the river" and "the gate of the sea" and "the head of the sea at the end of the river", as well as the statues of Poseidon, the goddess located on the bank of the river and the seaside, have been witnessed successively, and have been fixed by our cameras forever, leaving a close contact photo.

On the way around the sea, a worker under construction enthusiastically told us a story about the statue of Dayu after learning that we had come all the way to the Yangtze River estuary for exploration. In the middle of Tuojiao Scenic Area, there is a statue of Dayu, which is as high as 19.99m, and it is the largest statue of Dayu in China. The statue of Dayu is rich and simple, looking at the south with bright eyes, which embodies the strong will of the ancient people in China to conquer nature.

It turns out that there is a very legendary story around this statue. It is said that there are often super typhoons raging here. According to the data, tropical storm "Meihua" on 20 1 1 was upgraded to super typhoon twice, and the maximum wind force near the center was 14. At that time, the path of typhoon Meihua came all the way to Qidong, but turned to the north at the last minute. Why? Qidong people are convinced that Dayu's divine power has protected them.

So how did this statue of Dayu come from? It is said that a county and city in Shandong introduced a bottle of Dayu idol from Zhejiang. Unexpectedly, the car with the idol could not be started on the way, and the inspection could not find out the problem. People suspect that the gods are nearby, so they burn incense and pray for instructions from the gods. However, a series of place names were reported and the car did not start. When reporting to Qidong, the car suddenly started. Qidong, the beginning is also.

Later, when Qidong people heard about this incident, they followed the Oracle and built this statue of Dayu in Tuojiao Scenic Area to protect Qidong Baili seawall. Ten years later, the typhoon "Meihua" struck fiercely and finally bowed before Dayu.

The local people told the reporters and their party that standing at the far Tuojiao, the vast Yangtze River flows into the sea, where the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea diverge and the three waters meet, which is spectacular. Coupled with Yin Shi's unique natural landscape of watching the sun, many scholars regard watching the sunrise at Camel Point as a kind of enjoyment.

The ideal place to see the Yangtze River entering the sea in Yuantuojiao is to climb the Jianghai levee or Shangyinyang Building in the morning. The sun is shining and the sun is setting, and the golden dragon leaps into the Qianli River. At night, the stars and the moon are bright, the fishing fires are shining, sparkling and leisurely, or you can take a boat to the intersection of the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the Yangtze River to watch the spectacular scene of the blending of the three rivers, all of which are filled with emotion and amazing.

Yuan Tuo Kok has wide beaches along the coast. In spring, summer and autumn, tourists travel along the beach in ox carts, where they pick up mud snails and step on clams. Their graceful movements are like dancing a disco on the sea. In addition, the unique conditions of the intersection of Sanshui have created excellent seafood, river fresh and river fresh food here. Enjoy the food, enjoy the sea view and blow the sea breeze, and become a combined feast of taste, sight and touch in Yuantuo Cape.

It is reported that the new planning of Yuantuojiao will deeply tap the land potential here, locate the tourism and holiday project in the Yangtze River estuary from a high starting point, and plan to build a large-scale comprehensive holiday resort integrating tourism, business, leisure, entertainment, sports and high-end housing.

In the near future, the Yangtze River theme park and museum, fisherman's wharf, temple cultural park, Sun Lake leisure area, golf course and resort will be built here. Among them, the Yangtze River theme park will build a miniature landscape of the Yangtze River, from the source of the Yangtze River to the corresponding reach of Chongming Estuary, imitating landmark buildings such as Lhasa, Yushu, Chongqing, Three Gorges, Wuhan, Nanjing and Shanghai, and reappearing the characteristic landscapes, history, culture and local dishes of various regions and cities in the Yangtze River basin.

Coming out along the highway around the sea is Evergrande Maritime Venice Seafood City. At noon, the reporter and his party enjoyed a cheap and affordable lunch, crab roe buns, fresh meat wonton, big steak and beef noodles. In the evening, the fisherman's wharf restaurant here allows us to enjoy a rich and happy dinner composed of many dishes.

The successive construction of various tourism projects, such as Venice on Evergrande Sea, New Lake Yangtze River Park, Bi Hai Yin Sha Two-color Sea, Binhai Leisure and Entertainment Base, Golden Beach Wetland Park, Riverside Coastal Landscape Avenue, Lianxing Port Fisherman's Wharf and World Agricultural Expo Park, not only provide various tourism service facilities, but also add luster to the supporting facilities of Camel Cape Scenic Area.

The planning and design of Evergrande Maritime Venice here is based on the concept of Venice Water City in Italy. 40 world-famous bridges run through inland waters, and 58 residential islands are composed of private houses, luxury houses and marine houses. Five royal gardens in Europe, ten top luxury facilities and 3.5 kilometers of beaches with international customs.

That night, the reporter and his party checked into the Venice Haiting (Wan Heng) Hotel. An independent three-story villa is located in Venice Watertown, with beautiful scenery in the middle of the building. The reporter and his party own all the rooms in the whole hotel. The guest room is fully equipped and very comfortable. And the breakfast the next day was very rich.

At night, the night lights of Venice on the sea are more charming. Small bridges dotted with colorful lanterns and reflections of buildings scattered at different heights are intoxicating in the rippling water. Here, people can enjoy the multiple styles from the Renaissance to the modern avant-garde, and the long scrolls of scenery arranged in sections on the time axis allow people to cross at any time for a dream time and space journey.
