Historical evolution

The earliest record of Wuzhizhou island was in the Qing Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, Wu Huacun, a Taoist of Hainan Province, traveled all over Hainan Island, hoping to visit the place of alchemy and self-cultivation. When he saw the beautiful scenery of Wuzhizhou island and the myriad weather between the mountains and the sea, he wanted to live here and cultivate himself by Alchemy. Zhong Yuandi, the then governor of Yazhou, was informed of the incident and immediately went to check it out. Seeing the beautiful scenery and geomantic omen of the island, I think that such a treasure land should not be owned by individuals and should benefit the people. So he stopped Wu daoren's behavior, and raised money from the state government to build an nunnery on the island, named "Haihan Sanguan". Cangjie, the founder of Chinese characters, was worshipped, which is also rare in China. He wrote a lot in the history of Hainan's cultural development.

Built in 1893, it has a history of more than 100 years.

After liberation, the island was requisitioned by the PLA as a key area of strategic defense. Because the southeast of the island is only about 12 nautical miles away from the high seas, its strategic position is very important under the condition of conventional weapons war, and it is the forward position of defense. The Korean War in the 1950s, the military confrontation with the KMT government in Taiwan in the 1960s, and the Vietnam War in the early 1970s all made the place full of war atmosphere.

According to military personnel at that time, we can even see the personnel activities on the warships of the seventh fleet of the United States on the high seas with high-power telescopes on the top of the mountain. Therefore, in the 30 years after liberation, the army has built a large number of underground war Fortifications on the island, with a total length of 4 kilometers.

After entering the 1990s, peace and development became the theme of the world, and with the development of modern war weapons, it also lost its strategic significance, so the army gave up here and opened a new historical chapter of Wuzhizhou island as a resort and leisure resort.

In October 2016, it was rated as AAAAA scenic spot by the state.

Legend

Wuzhizhou island was called guqizhou island and niuqizhou island in ancient times. The two names have different origins.

firstly

It is said that there is a river in Sanya. Due to the slash and burn cultivation of the mountain people in the upper reaches, the vegetation has been seriously damaged. Every time a mountain torrent breaks out, the mud and gravel on the mountain will pour down and flow into the sea through the Tengqiao River, making the clear and blue water dirty.

The Dragon King then reported the matter to the Jade Emperor. So the jade emperor used his sword to cut off a section of the mountain at qiongnanling Jiao, seven kilometers away from here, and ordered two sacred cows to block the estuary. But on the way, he was found by a man, who broke the mystery, and the cow stopped, turned into two huge stones, and the mountain became an island. Therefore, according to legend, the island is named guqizhou Island, and the two huge stones are called sister stones.

Later, when Sanya City was established in Hainan, when the government departments verified the place names of various places, the local fishermen provided an explanation that the island was very similar to a kind of marine life called "Wuzhi". So they changed the name of the island to Wuzhizhou Island, which is still in use today.

second

Another is Wuzhizhou Island, also known as lover island. The origin of its name also has a beautiful legend.

Once upon a time, a young man was fishing in the sea. He was overturned by the wind and waves and floated to a desert island. On the island, he hunts for a living. One day, when he went fishing by the sea, he suddenly found a beautiful girl picking up seashells on the beach. He has been here so long that he has never found anyone. Where does she come from? At this time, the girl is also looking at his sweet smile! The girl took the initiative to talk with him. It turned out that she was the daughter of the Dragon King and ran to the shore for fun.

The two chatted so well that they agreed to meet here every day. As the days went by, neither of them could leave the other. Later, they lived together. Hunting together in the daytime, walking on the beach at night, living a life of admiring mandarin ducks but not immortals.

In the twinkling of an eye, a year later, little dragon girl was homesick, but she couldn't leave the young man, but she was afraid that her father would blame her when he knew about it. Finally, they agreed that Xiao Longnu would go back to tell the Dragon King about it and ask him to help them. They would meet again in the place where they first met in three days. Since the girl left, the young man has been standing there every day waiting for her to come back. Three days passed quickly, and little dragon girl still didn't come back. The young man was so anxious that he stood by the sea and called out the girl's name every day.

It turns out that after the girl went back, she told the Dragon King about her and the young man. The Dragon King was so angry that he ordered to lock her up and forbid her to come to the world again. The girl missed the young man day and night, and finally ran out one day when the guard was unprepared. The Dragon King soon found out and kept up with him. Seeing that the two infatuated men and women were about to embrace each other, the Dragon King, who was closely chasing behind him, was furious and yelled. He used a body fixing technique to turn them into two big stones. Thousands of years have passed, and the two big stones that have experienced the baptism of tide rise and fall still stand there, looking at each other quietly, close at hand, but far away. Later, in memory of the infatuated couple, people called it "lover's Island". Today, it has become a good place for young men and women to whisper and listen to the waves.
