The development zone is rich in land resources. The land available for development in the whole area is gentle hillside, barren sand beach and dry land, which is very convenient for large-scale development and construction. Now the newly introduced projects can be directly constructed in the area. Power resources are abundant. Dongzhou 110000V power transmission substation has already been built and put into operation; the first phase project of honghaiwan wind farm has also been connected to the grid for power generation, which can deliver 45 million kwh of green and environmental protection high-quality power every year. With a total investment of more than 20 billion yuan, the construction of Shanwei power plant is speeding up, and the development zone will become an important power supply base in eastern Guangdong. The sea and land transportation is convenient. From Shanwei Pubian exit station of Shenzhen Shantou expressway, you can reach the development zone along the newly built honghaiwan avenue for more than 10 minutes. A "four vertical and four horizontal" traffic network with honghaiwan Avenue and coastal national defense highway from ZHELANG to Haifeng Lake as main trunk roads has been formed in the area. The general cargo terminal of Dongzhou port in Honghai Bay has been built one after another, providing convenient sea and land transportation conditions for industrial development. Therefore, the development and investment of wool weaving, clothing, shoemaking, jewelry, electronics, food and other industries in the development zone have good development prospects.

Red Bay scenery

Lakes, islands and harbors crisscross each other. The sandy beach is winding and continuous. There are many reefs and rocks along the coast. There is a long coastline of 57 kilometers. With beautiful coastal scenery and numerous cultural relics, it has a unique subtropical coastal scenery. It has become a hot spot for seaside leisure tourism every year. I, who have been admiring for a long time, finally got what I wanted. On a sunny weekend, I got to know its blue color. When the car drove into the Red Bay, I felt a sudden light in front of my eyes - under the sun, the beach was a light golden yellow, slightly flashing light, and the blue sea was connected with the blue sky, water and sky. Dotted with a few clumps of black reefs, sparkling spray gently wiped, occasionally splashed a few white spray. On the vast sand beach, tourists surf, swim, stroll and enjoy the sunshine. The long beach stretches out and stretches out. It is pulled out by the sea with a beautiful arc line, showing a quiet beauty. I smell the sea, my heart is full of desire, maybe this is the eternal charm of the sea.

Dadeshan ancient road

The ancient road used to be an ancient post road connecting Shanwei City to Haifeng and Dahu. It was the only way to go to Lufeng and Jieyang. The ancestors of Ming and Qing Dynasties who conquered ZHELANG in Tianlong City crossed this road and came from Chaozhou and Shantou to do business and settle down here.

sandy beach

Red Bay, as its name suggests, has red soil and blue sea water. However, the most attractive place should be the word "bay". Because "bay" is usually quiet and romantic. Walking on the beach, the soft sand is quartz sand without impurities, as if it had been carefully screened by nature's magic hand. Step on, never sink feet, only feel soft, warm, people can't help but to remove the shackles of shoes and socks, barefoot walking on this soft beach. Further closer, the pure and transparent sea water rolls on the beach and on your feet, as if to caress you from the fatigue of the journey.

wave

Wave after wave of the Red Bay, snow-white spray followed the tide, surging, and turned into droplets. The sound of the tide constitutes lyric music. We ran on the beach and enjoyed it. Turn around a peninsula. All of a sudden, the tide disappeared and the sound disappeared. The sea is like a gentle girl, singing gently beside you. This is the real red bay. It has two faces, two moods, unpredictable and various styles. ZHELANG Peninsula breaks into the sea like a barrier to block the wind and waves from the East and the West. On both sides of the peninsula, regardless of the wind direction, the scene is very different. When one side of the peninsula is rolling, the huge waves are empty, and ten thousand horses are galloping, and on the other side, the wind is calm, the water is clear, and the waves are sparkling, so it is named ZHELANG. Not far away is the high seas route. Without any island barrier, I can make the closest contact with the Pacific Ocean. Red Bay let me appreciate the vast sea for the first time. Waves are full of ups and downs of "sense of picture". He uses waves to arouse people's inner inspiration, so that you can accompany him to the distance with the wind. Must hear the distant taste, must be able to mix with the smell of Alfalfa everywhere and the smell of the sea, arouse the desire and Inspiration of the city dust.

ZHELANG Peninsula

A peninsula protruding into the sea at the junction of Red Bay and Jieshi Bay is known as "East Guangdong Qilin corner". Also known as Rock Island, because it is composed of reefs. Wave impact and natural weathering of the uncanny workmanship, strange shape, different vertical and horizontal rocks, huge waves rush, stir up the sky column, waves fall from the air, into spray after spray, like "rolling up a thousand piles of snow.". Facing the vast blue sea, witnessing the tide coming and going and the great changes in waves, I can't help feeling suddenly enlightened and heroic. I gradually forget my withered appearance, put aside my troubles, and suddenly realize the wisdom of life of "endure the wind and calm the waves for a moment, and step back to the sea and the sky".

The natural scenery of the seaside is charming, and the scenery of mountains, seas, lakes and corners is wonderful. There are Tang Gong tomb and Zheng Zuxi Memorial Leigong temple in the area. The ZHELANG Peninsula breaks into the sea like a barrier to block the wind and waves from the East and the West. On both sides, no matter where the wind blows, the scene is very different. When the waves are rolling on one side, the huge waves are empty and the horses are galloping, and on the other side, the wind is calm and the waves are clear and sparkling, so the name of ZHELANG is. In the south of the peninsula, there is a lighthouse island with international navigation beacon lighthouses; the beaches on both sides of the peninsula stretch for about 2 kilometers, with clear sand and white water, making it an ideal place for sea bathing.

The reef rocks along the coast of ZHELANG Peninsula are colorful. It's a garden that can add bricks and tiles. It's also a "peach garden for a moment" that can be used as a last resort

More than 20 films, such as Nanhai lake, the age of peace, the adventures of happy island and the love of the circus, were filmed here. The sea area here is suitable for sailing and windsurfing. It has been built into a training base for marine sports in Guangdong Province. The Asian Pacific Championship and Olympic elite competition in 1996, the provincial 8th National Games cricket competition in 1998, the 9th National Games sailing and windsurfing competition in 2002, and the Guangzhou Asian Games sailing competition in 2010 are all held here. Tourist attractions have been built in haiyiju Resort Villa, sea sports club, hotel facilities and sea beach facilities.

There are many natural caves hidden in the "Stone Forest wonders". Among them, "Chumi cave" is known as "zhangbaozi treasure cave" by local people. It is said that the pirate Zhang baozi fled here because he was defeated. When he ran out of ammunition and food, he suddenly saw a small stone crack in the cave. There was a continuous flow of white rice, which was enough for his dozens of soldiers to have a good meal

Lighthouse Island

Lighthouse island is also known as wave rock and wave table. Lighthouse island is located in the Red Bay of the Pacific Ocean, which is the suburb of ZHELANG Town, Shanwei City, Guangdong Province. The coastline of the island is 1454 meters long and covers an area of 101930 square meters. It is slightly oval. The island bank is composed of reefs, and the southeast bank slope is steep. There is a section of beach in the northwest. The island is composed of granite. It is higher in the southeast and lower in the northwest. The vegetation is grass slope, Casuarina equisetifolia and Acacia formosana. With a water depth of 10-20 meters in the south, it has a beautiful landscape between Dongyu Island, three sisters stone and Pingtan. The main peak of the island is 37.6 meters high. There is a lighthouse on the top of the peak. The construction of the lighthouse started from February to March 1906, and was completed from February to March 1909. It was a large-scale new lighthouse at that time.

The scene on the east side of the rocky island is quite different from that on the west side. In the east side, the waves are rolling and roaring like ten thousand horses; in the west side, the wind is calm and the waves are calm, like a pool to print the moon. Reef ecosystem is good. Located at the southeast end of the ZHELANG Peninsula, only 11 nautical miles away from the international waterway, it is the dividing point of Red Bay and Jieshi Bay. It is a strip of water with the Nan'ao Peninsula, just separated by a 0.16 km wide Strait, just like a pearl with the Nan'ao peninsula. It is known as the "East Guangdong Unicorn corner". Folklore has it that once upon a time, goddess Guanyin of the South China Sea traveled here. Attracted by the wonders of the sea, she stopped at Yandao. In order to test her heart, she turned into an old woman begging for fish from a fishing boat on the east side of the island. Instead of giving, the fisherman ridiculed her and made the waves rough. She turned to the fishing boat in the west of the island to beg for fish, although the fisherman only caught a few

Fish, but give the fish basket, she makes the waves calm. In fact, the bird West is very close to the Nan'ao Peninsula, and the half bird is like a barrier to block the wind and waves. This moving legend gives a magical color to the wonders of Yandao.

Rock Island is actually made up of reefs and rocks
