Shanwei City is ancient but young. Its predecessor is the ancient city of Hailufeng with a history of more than 2,000 years. As a prefecture-level city in Shanwei, it was only established in 1988 and is only 32 years old.

Shantou is red! This is the origin of China’s Red Peasant Movement, one of the 13 old revolutionary areas in the country, and the birthplace of China’s first county-level Soviet power.

In the next two days, travel experts from Zouba.com and hundreds of travel agencies began non-stop collecting activities. The excellent weather showed the most beautiful side of Shanwei City to everyone.

The first stop on the first day was the Fengshan Ancestral Temple located on the shores of Pinqing Lake, the largest lagoon in mainland China. This is the main tourist attraction on the Gold Coast in eastern Guangdong and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

The Fengshan Ancestral Temple was built in the late Ming Dynasty. As Fujian fishermen drifted to settle in the Fengshan area, they brought their protector Mazu with them and built the Mazu Temple. It was rebuilt many times and Expansion brought it to its present size.

Not to mention other things, the dazzling porcelain inlay craftsmanship of Fengshan Ancestral Temple, the colorful hand-painted door gods, and the various exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings and gray carvings are dizzying. It is simply a masterpiece. An ancient and exquisite art palace.

The Fengshan Ancestral Temple tourist area is mainly divided into two parts. One is the Fengshan Ancestral Temple and Tianhou Palace at the foot of the mountain, and the other is the Mazu Stone Statue and Mazu Relics Hall on the mountain.

The flag of Zouba.com is flying high on the top of Fengshan Mountain. I believe that more bar fans will come here next year under the banner of Zouba.com.

Fengshan is also a good place to overlook the urban area of ??Shanwei and Pinqing Lake. Shanwei is called the city of mountains and seas, and this lake refers to Pinqing Lake, the largest lagoon in mainland China.

In the center of this city with mountains and seas, there is also such a beautiful lake. It must be said that Shanwei is a city loved by God.

After leaving Fengshan Mazu Temple, everyone came to the Red Bay Zhelang Peninsula tourist area located in the east of Shanwei City, known as the "Eastern Guangdong Unicorn". The weather was very awesome, with blue sky and blue sea, and the sea and sky were the same color. It was wonderful The weather brings Shanwei’s beautiful coastline to full display.

There is a Nanhai Temple on the Zhelang Peninsula. It is said that it was here that Guanyin Bodhisattva attained enlightenment and became one of the "Four Great Bodhisattvas". There is also a huge "Dedu Stone" standing on the seaside.

This sea is also part of the Zhelang Peninsula National Marine Park. It is surrounded by rocks and blue sea. Facing the sea, it is refreshing and refreshing.

The entire Red Bay has 72 kilometers of original ecological coastline, 4 kilometers of dreamy golden beaches, and hundreds of millions of years of strange reefs. The spectacular scenes form a beautiful picture of the blending of sea and sky.

What’s even more interesting is that due to its unique geographical location, no matter which way the wind blows, there are always calm waves on one side and rolling waves on the other side, no matter which way the wind blows. But they are completely different sea surfaces on both sides.

Leaving the beautiful Red Bay, the group drove more than 60 kilometers to the Xuanwu Mountain Tourist Area in Lufeng City, which is also one of the most famous cultural and historical attractions in Shanwei City.

Jieshi Town is affiliated to Lufeng City and is a famous historical and cultural town in China. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was an important coastal defense station. In history, Jieshi Guard was as famous as Tianjin Guard, Shenyang Guard and Weihai Guard. Together they are known as the Four Davids of China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

When you come to Jieshi Town, you must not miss the Xuanwu Mountain Tourist Area. It is centered on the Yuanshan Temple, which was built in the first year of Jianyan of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 AD) and is a national key cultural relic protection unit. It has a long history. , numerous monuments and cultural relics.

There are a natural "turtle stone" and "snake stone" on the east and west sides in front of Yuanshan Temple respectively. Xuanwu is a god composed of a turtle and a snake, and is protected by turtles and snakes. It has excellent Feng Shui.

Yuanshan Temple has multiple brackets and arches, carved beams and painted buildings, various wood carvings, stone carvings, clay sculptures, reliefs, patterned figures, flowers, birds, insects, and fish. Yao and many other celebrities.

Starting at sunrise and returning at sunset, the first day’s itinerary was compact and complete, fully demonstrating the natural scenery and cultural and historical landscapes of Shanwei City. All travel experts are very satisfied, and there is no one who has never been to Shanwei. Now I know how beautiful this low-key city is, and those who have been here are impressed by Shanwei. This city is changing with each passing day and developing vigorously.

Early the next morning, the collecting group came to Peng Pai’s hometown, Haifeng County. Haifeng is a county with a history of more than 2,000 years and the birthplace of China’s first Soviet regime.

If cities have colors, then Haifeng County must be red. It is the main revolutionary activity site of Comrade Peng Pai, one of the early important leaders of the Communist Party of China. On November 21, 1927, after three armed uprisings, he established the Haifeng County Soviet government here.

In the spring of 1928, the Nanchang Uprising troops and the Guangzhou Uprising troops met victoriously at Haifeng Red Square, adding yet another highlight to this red land.

Don’t forget the martyrs who sacrificed their lives on this land. It was their huge sacrifices that gave us the happy life we ??have today.

When walking into Haifeng, you should also visit Peng Pai’s former residence and learn how this wealthy kid who studied at Waseda University in Japan burned his family’s land deeds and unswervingly embarked on the road of revolution.

Peng Pai and his family made huge sacrifices for the revolution. Under his inspiration and leadership, many people in the Peng family stepped on the revolutionary road. During the Great Revolution and the Agrarian Revolution, 7 people died successively, 6 of whom were posthumously recognized as martyrs, the oldest was 35 years old, and the youngest was only 17 years old.

After paying homage to the former residence of martyr Peng Pai, the group went to Lianhuashan Jiming Temple in Haifeng County, which is named after the roosters often heard crowing at dawn.

The main peak of Shanwei Lotus Mountain is 1,337.3 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak on the coast of eastern Guangdong. The mountains here are verdant and shrouded in clouds and mist. The peak is named after its shape like a blooming lotus.

Lianhua Mountain has lush vegetation, a pleasant climate, and the air is full of negative oxygen ions. In addition to ancient temples in the mountains, there are also ancient tree tea fields. It is really a leisure resort to relax the body and mind.

The Lotus Mountain Buddha, located in the embrace of the mountains, is 9.98 meters high and made of bronze. It is simple, elegant and graceful in shape. It overlooks all living beings and is compassionate.

After lunch, everyone went to the Guangdong Ketang Jewelry Trading Market in Ketang Town. Unexpectedly, in this small town in eastern Guangdong, there is such a jewelry trading market with a total area of ??210,000 square meters. .

In the jewelry trading market, there are all kinds of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, pendants, handicrafts, etc. made of crystals, pearls, and semi-precious stones. The prices are so cheap that tourists cannot imagine. If you want to bring some Letter back, this is really a good choice.

Then, under the special arrangement of Shanwei City Culture, Tourism, Tourism and Sports Bureau, the group enjoyed an intangible cultural heritage Kirin dance performance, with a rich local flavor and full of Shanwei flavor.

The most gratifying thing is that the average age of the performers of this ancient art is only 18 years old, and the youngest is only 14 years old. The long-standing intangible cultural heritage has been inherited on this land. Someone.

On the other side, the live broadcast room is also introducing and promoting various intangible cultural and creative products. I believe that more people will understand and fall in love with these most rural cultures through the Internet.

The last stop of the trip was to Poly Jin Town Bay, which is only a few kilometers away from Shanwei City. No one expected that there is such a tall and magnificent place so close to Shanwei City. A beach resort with no admission fee.

When you encounter difficulties at work or in life, you can come to the seaside in just over ten minutes, listen to the sound of the sea, feel the taste of the sea, and express your feelings to the sea. I have to say that the people of Shanwei are very happy.

Maybe it’s just walking on the beach with the one you love, blowing the sea breeze, watching the sparkling waves, and the sunset. How many people yearn for such a city?

Even if you do nothing, just looking at the sea for the sake of seeing it, it can heal many people. Falling in love with a city does not require many reasons, maybe it is because of a perfect sunset.

As a coastal Guangdong city, it is impossible without delicious food. The two-day trip to Shanwei is really too short, with too few meals, and the taste buds have not been fully opened, but Shanwei The food here is already unforgettable. This is a city where you can make a special trip just to eat.

The night in Shanwei is not without its story chapters. Take a walk along the second road in the old city, and I believe you will definitely "return with a full load."

A bowl of vegetable tea with plenty of ingredients is the most unique Shanwei snack. If you miss this stop, you will never have this taste anywhere else.

The dazzling array of licorice fruits will make your mouth water and make you unforgettable. No wonder this unique fruit is also the taste of hometown that many Chaoshan tourists cherish.

The crystal clear and refreshing Jiumao Paste is the representative of Shanwei desserts. Jiumao Paste is also called "Dog Hair Paste". Dog Hair Paste is actually a kind of seaweed that grows on rocks by the sea. It requires a lot of work to pick it. It takes a steel spoon to scrape it off the rocks, and it's this hard-won plant that makes for an evocative snack.

In Shanwei, you may encounter many kinds of snacks that you have never seen before and whose dialects you cannot understand. But after eating them, you will remember this taste. This is the authentic Shanwei taste.

Shanwei is a city close to the sea. It is said that you can eat from the mountains and from the sea. The unique geographical location, pollution-free and excellent water quality, coupled with the appropriate temperature and salinity of the sea water, breed countless gourmets. Customers flock here for the delicious seafood.

Chenzhou oysters from Shanwei Chenzhou Village are one of the representatives of local seafood. Many tourists even drive to Shanwei just for these plump oysters.

A trip to Shanwei that has not tasted Shanwei Mackerel Balls is definitely not a qualified trip. People say that Shanwei Mackerel Balls are a fighter among gourmet foods. After eating them, you will come back to taste them again, with a smooth texture. It tastes fresh and sweet and can be called the representative of Shanwei cuisine.

If you want to eat all kinds of seafood in one pot, then have a pot of seafood porridge. A pot of smooth and smooth porridge can contain the essence of various seafood, from fresh shrimps and crabs to Meatballs and fishballs, there’s nothing you can’t think of.

Two days and two nights are indeed a bit short. There are still many beautiful scenery, colorful humanities, and long history in Shanwei that we have not yet had time to understand. In two days and two nights, you can gain a lot. Whether you are an expert or a travel agent, everyone is impressed by this low-key city. It turns out that this city located in eastern Guangdong, bordering Jieyang to the east, Huizhou to the west, Heyuan to the north, and the South China Sea to the south, actually has so many beautiful scenery.
