Because of its special geological features, it has been rated as a national geopark. As early as more than 10000 years ago, there were many ancient human settlements and historical and cultural sites. Beizhuang site is the only large-scale original village site found in the eastern coast of China It is as famous as the Banpo site in Xi'an and is called the "East Banpo" of China by archaeologists.

Introduction to the island

Daheishan island is located in the westernmost part of Miaodao archipelago, with a large area of about 7.47 square kilometers. On the east side of the sea near beichangshan island and Miaodao Island, there is a Heishan island with it. Daheishan island is famous for its viper, tomb and flint.

Daheishan Island, rocky, lush grass, its head is triangular, the body is gray brown, and more striped. From July to September every year, Daheishan island is covered with mountains and fields, full of Agkistrodon halys. Although the number and density of the Viper on the big black mountain island are not comparable to that of Snake Island near Dalian's old fellow iron mountain, its abundant Viper resources may be the second largest Snake Island in China.

Resources on the island

It is preliminarily estimated that the total number of Agkistrodon halys in Daheishan has exceeded 10000 items. Although Agkistrodon halys is highly toxic, it is precious all over the body. It can treat many kinds of diseases and has great application value in medicine. Therefore, to investigate and study the resources of Agkistrodon halys on Daheishan Island, and to develop and utilize them reasonably, will make a valuable resource play a greater role in the national economic construction.

Many ancient tombs have been excavated on Daheishan Island, accompanied by a large number of ancient cultural relics, which has become an important discovery in the archaeological history of our country, and also another unique scene on Daheishan island. According to textual research, the famous village site of matriarchal clan society in Beizhuang vividly shows the way of life of our ancestors 5800 years ago, which is as famous as the Banpo cultural site in Xi'an. In terms of quantity and quality, more than 40 house sites and two tombs with 30-40 people have been excavated, as well as a large number of cultural relics in various periods, which have surpassed the Banpo site in Xi'an. Although Daheishan island is small, it has unearthed more than 10000 historical relics, which can be arranged according to the historical sequence, becoming a rare "Maritime Museum" at home and abroad. It has an extremely important reference significance for the development history of Miaodao islands, the history of human civilization in China and the origin of civilization.

Flint on the island

In addition, the flint on Daheishan island is also very famous. Among the Miaodao islands, the flint from Mantis island is the best, followed by that from Daheishan island. After the flint is picked out, the Stoneworkers process it into a square shape, which can be used as the filler on the industrial polishing machine, and process it into a round shape of grindstone, which can be used as decoration in large and valuable buildings.

Beizhuang site

Beizhuang site is located in Beizhuang village, Daheishan Township, Changdao County. It is a village site of primitive society. Its age is about 6500-4500 years ago. The discovery of "Beizhuang site" has aroused great attention of Chinese academic circles and governments at all levels. It is known as "Oriental historical wonder" and "East Banpo" by experts because it belongs to the same period as Xi'an Banpo site.

"Beizhuang site" is a Neolithic village site. The lowest level is 6500 years ago, and the top level is about 3900 years ago, hundreds of years earlier than the legendary three emperors and five emperors. More than 90 housing sites have been excavated. The housing base is square or square half cavern type, with an area of 20-30 square meters, the smallest of which is 4 square meters, and the largest of which is more than 70 square meters. The County Museum has houses restored. A large number of pottery, bone ware and stone tools were unearthed from the squat. Pottery includes tripod, tripod, pot, basin, etc.; bone includes dart, arrow, cone, needle, harpoon, etc.; stone tools include axe, spear, knife, grinding stick, spinning wheel, etc. In addition, there are shells, hair bundles and other decorations. The bird shaped totem unearthed from the "Beizhuang site" has brought us a strong flavor of primitive culture; the Western Han Dynasty trout unearthed from Daheishan is a rare boutique in China, and its replica is displayed in Fengshan park for tourists to watch.

The house sites found in Beizhuang are mainly base sites, and the ground buildings are rarely preserved. However, from the wall, column structure and a small amount of architectural relics, it can be inferred that the roof of the house in Beizhuang is mainly conical, and all the rafters are mainly centered on the central column, which is umbrella shaped and erected between the central column and the auxiliary column. The central column is generally higher than the auxiliary column. The rafters are mainly made of logs or boards, and the roof surface is supplemented by kelp. Beizhuang site, as a village site of primitive society, is rare in China for its large scale, complete preservation and rich remains. It is another major discovery after Banpo in Xi'an and Jiangzhai in Lintong. Its discovery and excavation is of great significance in the modern archaeological history of China. Through the excavation of Beizhuang site, the layout of the original villages reveals a specific historical process from prosperity to disintegration of matriarchal clan commune in China's primitive society. It truly records the social relations, social organization structure and social life in ancient society. Especially the appearance of small house, it not only serves as the living room of a clan member, but also represents the appearance of a dual family. This kind of dual family is smaller than the clan unit. It is the rudiment of private individual family. Its appearance marks the disintegration of the primitive society based on the clan commune, which provides a rare material material for the study of the development of ancient society in China. The building foundation found in Beizhuang site is unique in architectural form, among which the ramming technology, wood material processing technology, and the invention of wall column separation technology are very consistent with the traditional architectural methods and styles in China. This shows that all kinds of architectural technology reflected in Beizhuang site is one of the sources of traditional architectural technology in China, which is the first of civil architectural technology style in China. 　

Stick to the island

On Daheishan Island, a couple over 50 years old have been sticking to a small gas station for 12 years. They are on call 24 hours to refuel the island residents and fishing boats. This is the No.4 gas station of Sinopec Yantai Changdao company, which was set up by Wang Zhongying and his wife Yu shuangxiang.

In 2013, Wang Zhongying, 53 years old, is the only gas station manager and the only gas attendant in Daheishan island. His "soldiers" only have bookkeeper Yu shuangxiang, his wife. Before 2001, there was no gas station on the island, so fishermen had to take a boat to South Changshan island to refuel. "A fishing boat with small horsepower and small fuel tank will burn half of the oil just added." Fisherman Xiao Changguo said that at that time, the island residents lacked tractors and oil for breeding and fishing. When they were unable to go out to sea on windy days, the oil from outside could not be transported in, and the island was almost paralyzed.

In 2001, Sinopec Shandong Branch set up gas stations on six islands in Changdao County to solve the problem of oil shortage on the island. Daheishan island is one of them. It was at that time that Wang Zhongying left his post as the chief engineer of Sinopec oil tanker and came to the island as an ordinary oiler for 12 years.
