The island is adjacent to the three southern islands in the north, the Pacific Ocean in the East and Zhanjiang port in the West. It is 2.8 nautical miles away from the urban area. It is a natural barrier of Zhanjiang port and has a unique geographical location. The island is rectangular, with an area of 3.6 square kilometers, 7 natural villages and a permanent population of more than 4500.

The island has a flat terrain, fresh air, beautiful scenery and a spring like climate all the year round. There are more than 500 mu of mangroves under state protection, the Xiantai temple with a history of more than 400 years and the former site of the Anti Japanese revolution. White sand beach, volcanic rock, sea, seagull, fishing boat and sea picker set off each other like a colorful oil painting, which makes people forget to return.

The traffic and communication facilities of Techeng island have been continuously improved. A four-level transportation terminal has been built. There are three ferry and passenger ships on the sea, and two express buses on the sea. It takes only 20 minutes for passengers and vehicles to travel to and from the urban area. At the same time, power, communication, access and water supply have been realized in the whole island.

The main industries and economic sources of the island are marine fishing and mariculture. The island has 485 fishing boats and more than 10000 mu of mariculture. It has become a large mariculture base in Zhanjiang and even the whole province, and the connected net cages are very spectacular.

Techeng island has always been concerned by leaders at all levels. Before the general secretary inspected Techeng Island, Li Changchun, Lu Ruihua, Ou Guangyuan and other national and provincial leaders successively visited the island for investigation and guidance.

On April 10, 2003, the general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President Hu Jintao, accompanied by provincial and municipal leaders such as Zhang Dejiang, Huang Huahua, Cai Dongshi, Deng Weilong and Xu Shaohua, inspected the island and visited fisherman Chen Wuhan's home.

Since then, party and government leaders at all levels of province, city and district have gone deep into Techeng island for many times to help the islanders carry out construction and seek development. Gratifying changes have taken place on the first anniversary only. It is difficult to travel, drink water and sell fish. A number of production and living facilities, such as four level docks, television networks and cultural buildings, have been built and used. At the same time, the construction of ecological civilization village is in full swing. Chen Wuhan saw so many gratifying changes in a short time. He couldn't help writing a letter to General Secretary Hu. General Secretary Hu soon replied and encouraged the islanders to make persistent efforts to build a new civilized eco-tourism island on their own.

In order to speed up the development and construction of Techeng Island, efforts should be made to do the following: first, an office of the leading group for the development and construction of Techeng island should be set up, with the main leaders of the district Party committee and the district government as the group leader and Deputy Group Leader respectively. At the same time, a workstation of Haitou sub district office in Techeng island and a police district of Haitou police station of Zhanjiang Public Security Bureau in Techeng island should be set up.

The second is to start the construction of five sewage pipelines and village roads with a total length of more than 1300 meters in the first phase of the archway of Techeng island and Powei village, which were completed by the end of November.

The third is to rectify the dirty, disorderly and poor conditions in the dock area and put on clothes and hats.

Fourth, further greening was carried out on both sides of the road from the wharf to Powei village and Li village, and more than 2000 Acanthus ilicifolius trees were planted.

Fifthly, we will give full support to Techeng Island deep-water aquaculture professional cooperative to solve the "difficulty in selling fish" of the masses. Members of the cooperative have more than 600 shallow water net cages and 8 deep-water net cages. We plan to apply for the registration of "Techeng seafood" trademark, and gradually integrate the production, processing and sales of seafood in the whole island.

Sixth, Zhanjiang Zhongxin Co., Ltd. and Techeng Island deep-water aquaculture professional cooperatives jointly laid the foundation for the construction of Techeng Island agricultural eco-tourism park on December 10. In the long term, Zhanjiang Zhongxin Co., Ltd. will invest 500 million yuan in the construction of Techeng Island eco-tourism resort.

The seventh is the construction of the road around the island, which is led by the Municipal Transportation Bureau and started with relevant departments. It is planned to be completed and opened to traffic on the fifth anniversary of General Secretary Hu's inspection of Techeng island in 2008.

brief introduction

In the beautiful Zhanjiang Bay, there is such a beautiful island - Techeng island. In the Ming Dynasty, academician Xie Jin once went to Techeng island and left a seven character poem titled "Wentong Pavilion of Techeng mountain", which said: "the wind blows the tide, the sound of Pingle goes, the rain floats, and the scenery of the mountain comes. The earth is good and the heaven is good. There is a talent in the world. " It describes the beautiful scenery and unique island life of Techeng island

In modern times, Techeng island became a fortress for Guangdong people to fight against foreign invaders. With wisdom and bravery, Techeng people are guarding this island fishing village with profound foundation.

In 2003, General Secretary Hu Jintao inspected Techeng Island, gave specific instructions to solve the problems of "difficult travel", "difficult selling fish", "difficult shelter from the wind" and "difficult drinking water" on the island, and proposed to build Techeng island into a "new civilized eco-tourism island", which opened a new page in the history of Techeng island.

Around half of the island is mangrove, which has grown for thousands of years in the sea of ancient trees, dense, towering green group, birds team. When you enter the forest at low tide, you can see mangrove trees as big as a basin, with thick roots, buckled trunks, flourishing branches and leaves, and string of fruits, giving people a kind of spirit and strength.

On the edge of the mangrove forest, the sacrificial Temple of Mrs. Xian, the first heroine in Chinese history, stands high. This heroine, who lived two thousand years ago, made a lifelong effort to maintain the history of national unity and unity. She also led her troops to Techeng island to fight back the pirates and keep the island safe. Moved by the common people, the temple was set up to commemorate it, and the incense has been burning for thousands of years.

After paying homage to Mrs. Xian and passing through the fisherman's village on the island, we come to the northeast. What we see is the "fishing village on the sea" with a radius of several miles. This is the largest "fish Raft" base in western Guangdong, where all kinds of sea fish and conch are continuously supplied to Zhanjiang and the Pearl River Delta.

Original name

There is a beautiful legend about the origin of Techeng Island: when the immortal came down to the world, he saw that the seaside people were living a hard life and had no land to plant. The Dragon King banned fishing in the sea. In order to save the seaside people's life, he used the night to pick up soil to fill up the sea and make land. When the immortal was carrying a load of soil to the middle of the road, it was already crowing and the day was almost dawn, so he hurriedly put down the load of soil and rushed back to the sky It became two small islands. In order to remember the kindness of the gods, people call one of the islands Techeng, which is "something specially presented by the gods", and the other is dongtoushan. This is the origin of the name of Techeng island.

Unveiling the secrets of history

The ecological environment on the island is elegant, the scenery is unique and attractive, and the folk customs are civilized. In 2003, General Secretary Hu Jintao visited the island in person, which greatly encouraged the villagers in Techeng. To live up to the high expectations of the general secretary, the villagers worked together to build their homes and made gratifying achievements. Great changes have taken place in Techeng Island, ending the "difficulty in drinking water", "difficulty in selling fish" and "difficulty in walking" in history, and ushering in an unprecedented new period of development. In 2006, Techeng island was rated as the most beautiful village in Zhanjiang City. The quiet, simple and beautiful island has been widely known and has come into people's sight. However, the long history, profound deposits, rich folk culture, mysterious traces of time and many precious cultural heritages of Techeng island are still unknown

Island fishing village with profound history

Techeng was originally an ancient Yue language. Techeng is a place, which means a place of harmony. According to the research of geographers and the honeycomb like red sandy breccia all over the island, the island is connected with the mainland and separated from the island by volcanic eruption and crustal movement. It has been about 800 years since Kaiji's ancestor moved to Techeng in the late Southern Song Dynasty. According to Chen's genealogy, the ancestors of Techeng island came from Putian, Fujian Province. Chen Wenyu and Chen Wenli brothers went to the East and west of Techeng to build their villages in different places. At first, they lived on farming, fishing and farming, and then on marine fishing. They multiplied and gathered together to form seven natural villages, with a population of more than 4500 today.

With the prosperity of their descendants, two branches of Techeng Island migrated to other parts of the island in history. In the fourth year of Jianwen (1402) of Ming Dynasty, one branch moved to Tiantou of Nansan island to form a village, which is today's Tiantou village. Tiantouwei, which is the name of the village and the name of Guanwei, is the seat of the organs of the three southern towns. In the early Qing Dynasty, Chen Shangchuan was one of the earliest famous overseas Chinese leaders in China; in the late Qing Dynasty, Chen Yuelong was the last Wu Xiucai in Zhanjiang and a famous anti French hero. During the reign of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1628-1644), another branch moved to Jianzhang village in Chikan. Chen Lanbin, the first ambassador of the Qing Dynasty to the United States, changed his name to Wenzi village, and presented a couplet to the ancestral temple: "it is an article written by Yao Wei, whose roots are deep and leaves are luxuriant, and whose son is xiaosun Xian, who moved from Fujian to Guangdong." With the development of the city, Wenzi village has become a village in the city, but the villagers still keep the same tradition as Techeng island
