History of scenic spots

Taiyang island is evolved from the transliteration of bream flower fish in Manchu. There are three names for bream color in Manchu: one is common bream flower called "Haihua", the other is Black Bream flower called "Falu", and the other is round bream flower called "taiyi'an", which is very similar to "Taiyang", that is, "Taiyang" in Taiyang Island means "bream flower fish". It is said that all the hills on the island are clean fine sand, especially hot in the sun, so it is called the sun island.

In the 20th century, with the construction of the Middle East Railway, many foreigners came to Harbin one after another and built villas here.

In 1964, Taiyang Island Scenic Spot was officially established. In 1989, it was named Heilongjiang provincial scenic spot. In 2002, it was rated as China's national AAAA scenic spot by China National Tourism Administration.

From 2003 to 2005, Harbin municipal Party committee and government invested 550 million yuan to renovate the Taiyang island with the goal of "reshaping the tourism brand of Taiyang island and building an ecological city". The functional orientation of Taiyang island has been upgraded from a resort to a national scenic spot. Phase III reconstruction project is located in the west of Taiyang Island, with a total planning area of about 400000 square meters. The third stage reconstruction project highlights the "green lung" function, through the island building, greening and animal protection, the ecological effect of Taiyang island is initially shown.

When he was young, Jin Taizu sharpened his sword on the stone to inspire himself; when he was an adult, he and his generals scratched ashes on the stone to discuss affairs (at that time, the military meeting of senior generals before the war of the Jin Dynasty used ashes as paper and branches as pens to outline the route map of the March, and after the meeting, he wiped the ashes without leaving any trace), exterminating the Liao Dynasty and attacking the Song Dynasty; General Li Zhaolin of the Northeast Anti Japanese allied army once led people to have a rest here Behind the cold.
