Where is Weitou Village?

Weitou Village is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Weitou Village is one of the eight scenic spots in Quanzhou, facing Jinmen Island across the sea. According to the Records of Jinjiang County compiled by Zhou Xuezeng and others in the Qing Dynasty, Wai Tou described it this way: Looking at the sea from a distance, boats and boats from north to south must pass by. Weitouwan is a natural harbor with vast sea and deep water. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou attached great importance to Weitou Bay when it began to develop foreign trade, and was known as the "Pearl of the East China Sea". In the 1980s, Weitou Port launched a pilot project of small-scale trade with Taiwan, becoming the first port to realize cultural exchanges between Fujian and Taiwan.

Historic village

Weitou Village, a small fishing village with a history of more than 1200 years, was famous as "the only place for north-south navigation" as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Weitou Ancient Port was one of the four ports of Quanzhou Maritime Silk Road. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the town satrap patrolled Weitou and established Baogai Village to resist pirates. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the site of Weichou Sicheng built by Jiang Xiahou and Zhou Dexing still exists today. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, recovered the troops stationed in Taiwan Province Province here, and General Shi Lang also trained the navy master here to make Mazu wrap his head around the flag to pacify Penghu and Taiwan Province Province. Since the founding of New China, Zhu De, Chen Yi and more than 200 generals and provincial and ministerial officials have left footprints here.

Especially in the "August 23" artillery battle that shocked the world in 1958, it was famous at home and abroad, and was known as "the head of a hero" and "the head of a beauty". From the frontier of coastal defense in the past to the frontier of exchanges with Taiwan today, she has become a microcosm of the changes in temperature and warmth since the founding of New China more than 60 years ago. With a long history and culture, heroes come forth in large numbers, unique cross-strait complex and rich tourism resources, this Millennium picture of Weitou has been made.

Beautiful beach

Weitou Village is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are white beaches on both sides. The eastern beach is 100 meters wide. Sand contains a small amount of mud and medium particles, a small amount of gold ore sand and magnetic ore sand. It is an ideal raw material for industrial casting sand and glass (silicate). The calm Moon Bay and bathing beach in Jinsha Bay are good places for fishing and leisure.

Weitou Port, a natural port, has been an external port since ancient times, with a 10,000-ton wharf. It is one of the main ports in Jinjiang, the main port in southern Shanxi and an important distribution center for overseas Chinese and relatives. Weitou land and water transportation extends in all directions, connecting with Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway, National Highway 306 and coastal passages, forming a high-quality transportation network.

At present, the development and planning of Weitou Bay will be divided into two parts: land and water. With the Taiwan Province Compatriots Reception Station under construction (covering an area of 20 mu) as the main body, a multi-functional, high-grade and modern comprehensive holiday entertainment place with complete functions such as leisure, vacation, sports and fitness will be established, and sports such as sea swimming, sailing, boating and jet skiing will be developed.

Besides the blue sea, blue sky and green trees, there is another thing that attracts tourists from all over the world, that is, rich seafood: grouper, lobster, black turtle, yellow croaker, red turtle and so on. Some people come to watch the sunrise very early and watch the birds fly by in the sunset at night.
