Li Sangui looks to be in his thirties, with dark skin and a strong body... He is the village chief of Dazhou Village on Dazhou Island.
When you get to the island, there is a very old cement road.
Dazhou Island is the largest island in the Qizhou Islands. The earliest record of the Qizhou Islands was in the Qing Dynasty. There was a nunnery on the island, which was built in 1865... During this period, no one took care of it for a long time. The local fishermen simply remodeled the Mazu statue.
, enshrining the traditional sea protector god, so as to obtain devout prayers when facing the vast sea.
The Qizhou Islands are not well-known. In the 1950s and 1960s, due to their strategic location, the islands served as frontline defensive positions for a period of time... There are military facilities on several large islands in the Qizhou Islands, but they have long been abandoned.
.
The archipelago is a rocky archipelago with towering rocks and beautiful scenery. There are many gulls inhabiting the islands. In winter mornings, the islands are covered with clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland...
The earliest record here was that people lived hundreds of years ago. Unfortunately, due to its geographical location, it has not developed over the years. Coconut State has vigorously developed tourism and has also listed the Qizhou Islands as a development area. The main development point is Dazhou Island.
. Dawei Island is also inhabited, but it is far away from the main archipelago and is set up as a deep-sea breeding area. As for other archipelagos, because they are uninhabited, they are set up as natural island reserves...
As for Wanghai Island, Bai Xiaoou has obtained the development rights of the island. It is said to be a private island, but it is not. There are still several families living on the island, but they have all signed employment contracts with Bai Xiaoou. The development of the island has also
It must be within the prescribed scope and natural resources must not be damaged...
Qizhou Island is no better than South Island Coconut State. Coconut State, Coconut Corridor, Chen Mo’s Yunmeng Manor, Huafeng Group’s Coconut Oasis Resort, all involve illegal expansion in terms of construction, but the relationship is there, and the illegal areas are not
It is large and will not cause major damage to the environment. The government will fine you a small amount and just turn a blind eye...
But it's different on a small island. The ecological environment system of the small island is fragile.
For example, on Dazhou Island, a fisherman community has been built here. The houses in the community are only for rent and not for sale... and a special small sewage treatment station has been built.
There is a very old cement road on the island, with cracks everywhere, and weeds growing in some cracks. When you get to the pier, you can see ancient stone houses... Dazhou Village, behind the village are several taller buildings.
The mountains are green and lush...
It was drizzling, and Chen Mo held up an umbrella for Ai Li.
Ellie looked left and right and saw several white birds diving into the sea like arrows, catching fish and spreading their wings to fly...
The island was very quiet, and suddenly there was the sound of gunfire coming from a distance...
"We're here to play. Village Chief Li, can you be our tour guide for half a day?" Bai Xiaoou handed Li Sangui a cigarette and said.
"no problem."
After walking through the pier and entering the village, there is a small shop. The small shop sells incense, candles, paper money, and children can play with crackers.
"How much does this small box of crackers cost?" Ellie asked.
"Three yuan a box, five yuan two boxes."
Ai Li paid with WeChat, bought four boxes, and handed them to Chen Xiao, Zhang Xia and Wang Xiaoqin...
Chen Mo and the others each took two large incense sticks and wanted to take them to the Mazu Temple to burn them.
When they walked into the village, they were greeted by six or seven people wearing beautiful traditional Li costumes and holding garlands. Among them were three beautiful girls and the other four were aunts who looked festive... Behind them were Li men playing Yueqin, mouth strings, sanxian, etc.
Waiting for the musical instruments, they played festive music.
"It's a mistake, it's a mistake." Li Sangui quickly stood up: "The tourists from the Oasis Resort haven't come here yet. These are my friends."
"Friends in Li Cunzi are our friends." The eldest aunt brought garlands to Chen Mo and the others. When it came to Chen Mo and Ai Li: "The young man is so handsome, the little girl is so beautiful...ah, are you going to be a mother?"
"Yeah." Ellie pursed her lips and smiled, giving her aunt a hug.
Walking into the village, it’s Chinese New Year, and there isn’t much entertainment on the island. Many people gather together to play mahjong, or make tea and brag and chat in the yard...
Pass through the town and go north along the cement road. On one side is a stone mountain, on the other side is a steep cliff, and below the cliff is the sea. The waves crash on the rocks, making a splashing sound, and from time to time, gulls fly up from the rocks under the cliff, flying in the air
Call a few times.
Ellie took out all the cannons she wanted to set off, but she saw many birds flying here from time to time, so she didn't let them go for fear of disturbing more birds.
Mazu Temple is at the end of the cement road. The temple is not big, but it is not as small as imagined. The gate has an archway, a very old traditional building, with the three characters "Mazu Temple" on it...
After going in to burn incense and coming out, Bai Xiaoou said: "Old Mo, what do you think of the scenery here? It's no worse than those abroad."
"It's beautiful." Chen Mo said sincerely.
There is a square outside Mazu Temple where you can overlook the sea and vaguely see several large islands.
There is fog on the sea in the winter morning, and several buildings in the distance are looming...
"The environment here must be protected, and it's best to make a long-term plan." Chen Mo said that China has too many people, and the environment of Dazhou Island can become a new popular tourist destination with just a little publicity.
Li Sangui glanced at Chen Mo: "Qizhou Island still has the ability to receive tourists. Although there are only 328 registered islanders on the island, there are many vacant houses on the island. We are also planning to find bank loans to repurchase those abandoned houses.
Redesigned and turned into a B&B…”
The environment is important, but so is money.
Without money, young men on the island cannot marry wives, or they have to marry into their father-in-law's family. Young girls on the island are all married outside...
Dazhou Island is the island with the most residents in the Qizhou Islands. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were nearly a thousand registered people on the island. But now, the registered population on the island is only 328, and the actual living population is only about 200. Even during the New Year
, many people will not come back either...
Dawei Island, for example, had a population of several hundred in the 1980s and 1990s. Now, the registered population is only 36.
As for Wangshan Island, which is also a residential area, it has now become a 'private island', with only two families living on the island...
Dazhou Island is a little better. It is a big island after all. There are primary schools and junior high schools on the island. Dawei Island and Wanghai Island also had primary schools a long time ago, but the populations of these two islands were originally small, and the primary schools could not be opened, so the children had to
Going to Dazhou Island to study...it is very inconvenient to go back and forth every day. The population of Qizhou Islands is losing rapidly, which is also due to the coconut state policy in the early years. The life of the residents on Qizhou Islands is really not very good, there are more than a dozen
In the past ten years, residents of the Qizhou Islands have moved out of the islands to buy houses, and can enjoy the policy of bank interest exemption... In the past ten years, the residents of the islands have moved out one after another and settled in the South Island...
In fact, it's okay. With a small population, the Qizhou Islands can preserve a lot of original scenery...
Li Sangui didn't want to see the decline of Dazhou Village anymore, so he worked very hard to get on the Coconut Oasis Resort line. Naturally, he hoped that the more tourists on the island, the better...
With more tourists, the residents on the island can have more income and retain people.
