During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, fishermen from Hui'an, Fujian Province were engaged in fishery production in Dongsha Port.

When these fishermen were going back to their hometown to pick up the statue, for some unknown reason, the hands and feet of the statue fell off. The local fishermen saw it and hurriedly said: "Mazu doesn't want to go back. The scenery here is beautiful. She likes it here, so give the statue to us!" In this way, the statue of Mazu stayed.

10. Huagang Ancient Village. Huagang Village is located in the middle of Dongtou County, Zhejiang Province, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The village buildings are scattered and unique. Huagang Village is mainly engaged in fishery production. Because the houses in the entire fishing village are mainly stone structures, it has a strong island style.

The origin of the village is like a poem. Hundreds of years ago, several Hokkien people landed on the island from the sea. They saw burning azaleas all over the mountains and plains. The flowers were like aborigines who had been here for generations. They bloomed from the horizon. At every corner of the mountain, when they saw someone coming from the sea, they all stood up on tiptoes, stuck their heads out, talked, explored, and watched. For a moment, the fishermen who landed on the island felt like they had not seen them for a long time. The folks welcomed him. When the fishermen landed here, they named their village Huagang after the hills covered with flowers. There are hundreds of "tiger skin" stone buildings in the village, most of which were built in the 1950s and 1960s. The stone houses have good insulation effect, are warm in winter and cool in summer, simple and practical. The clear mountain stream passes through the village, and the golden sunshine shines on the cascade lanes of the small village, making Huagang Village even more quiet and beautiful. But when people come here hundreds of years after the granite was named, they are shocked by those winding and mottled old houses. These are a different kind of old house, a house made of stone, with bones and bones made of stone, eyebrows made of stone, and window lattice. Stones and roof stones. When you see the stubborn stones on the roof, you will think of them as the gods of earthquake houses. In fact, they suppress the wetness and bad temper of the wind. When the typhoon comes, these storms attack the city and do whatever they want. When the wind blows across the sea, only stone dares to stand up.
