Yuetuo Island, located in Laoting, Tangshan, Hebei, is the closest island scenic spot to Beijing. The reporter has twice landed on this island 280 kilometers away from the capital. The first landing on Yuetuo Island stems from the fact that the reporter was invited to participate in a gathering activity on Yuetuo Island organized by Yinan Group, the developer of Yuetuo Island.
I remember that it was on the morning of June 20, 2008, a small team of journalists from some news media in Beijing set off from Beijing. The van that the reporters took traveled southeast along the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway. There were laughter and laughter in the moving car. The team was led by a beautiful and enthusiastic girl named Wang Hongxia, who was then the business manager of Jinsha Island Scenic Area in Yuetuo Island. The development status of Yuetuo Island.
Wang Hongxia's emotional description of Yuetuo Island made the reporters full of expectations. Xu Hong from the fellow newspaper "Boutique Shopping Guide" said: "I think Yuetuo Island should be called 'Jingdong's No. 1 Island'." Her naming immediately aroused a lot of applause from the reporters in the car.
After driving for more than three hours through the three expressways of Beijing-Shenyang, Tangjin and Tanggang, the car arrived at Tangshan Beigang Wharf at noon. This is the only place to go to the three islands of Yuetuo, Jinsha and Bodhi. The reporters set foot on Yuetuo Island after taking a yacht from the pier and passing through the waterway for about half an hour.
Before landing on the island, the melody of a pleasant foreign pop song came to people's ears. The magnetic male voice is full, deep, and mellow, revealing a heart-wrenching penetrating power, which can easily make people think that this is a black singer's singing. After landing on the island, I found out that this is the western food on the pier of Yuetuo Island. The European-style green gatehouse of Yuetuo Island and the long wooden plank road lead tourists into the island.
Sunshine, sand and sea have always been places that breed romance. Yuetuo Island, located in the Bohai Arm Bay in the southwest of Leting County, Tangshan, has gradually become a relatively famous eco-tourism resort center in the northern waters of China with its special festivals, core tourism brands, and characteristic scenic spots developed and constructed. The place of choice for romance.
Among them, the unique Dutch-style buildings are even more fascinating. The 500-seat red-roofed cabins, as well as the European-style villas and green windmills that are being built on the banks of the canal, outline an exotic landscape between the sea and the sky. Interesting romantic picture scroll.
According to relevant information, Yuetuo Island has a land area of 0.43 square kilometers and is named after its shape like a crescent moon. Yuetuo Island and Jinsha Island echo each other, forming a long coastal tourism chain starting from Shanhaiguan in the east, Daihe in the north and south, Gold Coast, and Caofeidian in the west. It is composed of seven long and narrow islands intermittently, including Yuetuo, Yaotuo, Shetuo and Xituo.
Surrounded by the sea, Yuetuo Island has a primitive ecology and is famous for its secluded, wild, strange, leisurely and strange scenery. The island is covered with green vegetation and quiet environment. There are many wild birds and small animals. The almost closed natural environment has never been disturbed or destroyed by human beings, and it is full of wild interest and sentiment.
The sea area near Yuetuo Island is a famous fishing ground in Bohai Bay, rich in various fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish. It is the best place for fishing, catching sea, and fishing. The island is a paradise for birds, where hundreds of species of birds such as seagulls, wild ducks, and white-shouldered eagles live here, including black storks, white storks and other rare birds under national first-class protection.
The outer sandy beach and the beach around the island, which are eight miles long, are clean in sand, clear in sea water, and suitable in depth. They are natural and good bathing places. In midsummer, sand baths, sea baths, sun baths, ecological baths, air baths, etc. are particularly outstanding, attracting a large number of tourists every year.
The reporters started their first experience after landing on the island, which was to go fishing with the fishermen. Everyone boarded a fishing boat at the pier and headed towards the waters towards Jinsha Island. The working boat consisting of four fishermen is a four-year-old motor boat. Perhaps it was eroded by the waves all the year round, the blue paint has been mottled and looks very old. But the excitement of going out to sea and experiencing life as a fisherman for the first time overshadowed it all.
The fishing boat started to slow down after traveling at sea for about half an hour, and started casting nets near Jinsha Island. I saw the four fishermen brothers busy busy. They cast the fishing nets tied with wooden planks into the sea from both sides of the stern. The thick ropes at both ends of the nets were respectively tied to the boats, and they began to collect the nets after driving slowly for a while.
Just when everyone was excitedly waiting for the harvest, but only some small crabs, conch, etc. came from the Internet. Although this is basically the case twice, the occasional few larger crabs still make the reporters very happy. At this point, the result is not so important, what is important is to experience the process.
After returning from the sea, everyone began to roam around the island. Yuan Jianjun, then vice president of Yin'an Group, personally accompanied the reporters to experience the European style of the island. European-style buildings such as Dutch windmills, suspension bridges, 500 small wooden houses, trestle bridges of more than 700 meters, large central hotels, entertainment halls, transparent and bright seafood restaurants, and exotic-style all-glass sunshine rooms all illustrate the island. Characteristic strong style.
In particular, the Chinese and English signs all over the island are full of characteristics. It not only provides tourists with a clear and clear guide to all the scenic spots in various regions of the island, but also the harmonious combination of color and text looks very comfortable, which can be called a unique landscape on the island.
In the evening, during the exchange with the person in charge of the scenic spot, through the introduction of Mr. Yan Guoqiang, then chairman of Yin’an Group, the reporters were surprised and appreciated the advanced concepts of the developers of Yuetuo Island. It turns out that Yuetuo Island is definitely not just an ordinary seaside scenery for tourists to take a vacation.
Its plan is to explore and establish a "new model of island green tourism economic development" in line with national policies through the operation of Yuetuo Island's "Global Island Ecological Building Demonstration Park", providing a model for the development of Laoting in Tangshan and even similar areas across the country. Its operation and implementation not only solves the energy development problem of the island, but also transforms it into a more economical development model on the premise of improving its environmental benefits.
In layman's terms, it is to use the abundant resources of wind, solar energy, and biomass energy on the island to develop technologies such as wind power generation, solar power generation, biomass energy generation, solar photovoltaic, and photothermal power generation, which can not only solve the island's own energy needs but also integrate Excess power is sent to land to meet the needs of surrounding power-scarce areas. Make full use of solar energy technology to solve the island's night lighting and develop solar islands.
The reporter believes that if Yuetuo Island succeeds in using new energy such as wind energy, solar energy, biomass energy, and biogas energy, as well as through ecological cycle systems such as seawater desalination, sewage treatment, garbage disposal, and three-dimensional ecological breeding, it will provide a green development for the world. A model of a sightseeing island with a sustainable circular economy, it will also make outstanding contributions to the development of world tourism and environmental protection.
Chairman Yan Guoqiang told the reporter that in fact, their environmental protection tourism project has been implemented steadily and has made some progress. Today, the central air conditioners of the two large restaurants on the island use groundwater for wind cooling. The bathing equipment on the island is all solar energy. In addition, in the first ten days of July, the 15 large viewing lights along both sides of the canal will all be powered by wind power. At that time, the large windmills that provide energy for power generation will add a beautiful landscape to Yuetuo Island.
Although the gathering in Yuetuo Island only took two short days, it brought a lot of joy and harvest to the accompanying reporters. In the night sea crab catching that night, the harvest on the beach barefoot with a flashlight was exciting; on the next day, the melon garden was picked, and after walking through the 100-meter Bund Bridge, wandered on the soft and comfortable beach of the outer beach to dig for sea creatures The scene of the scene is so pleasant.
The fear, cold, and excitement of flying over Yuetuo Island in a light glider, although the time is short, are extremely deep in my memory. The unique flavor of the whole fish feast and the barbecue of seafood stalls, all of which have passed But it has deeply imprinted people's good memories of Yuetuo Island, making people linger...
