It is adjacent to Taiwan Strait in the East, Meili Weitou Bay in the west, Quanzhou "capital of East Asian culture" in the north, and only 5.2 nautical miles away from dajinmen island in the south.

Weitou has a long history, many heroes, unique cross-strait complex and rich tourism resources. In particular, during the "August 23" artillery campaign, which shocked the world in 1958, it was well-known at home and abroad. The brave Weitou people "loved their country" and took part in the war. Sixty six people won "second class merit" and "third class merit". Seven people were commended in Beijing. They are known as "heroic Weitou" and "beautiful Weitou". Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, more than 170 generals such as Zhu De, Chen Yi and Chi Haotian have left their footprints on this red land. Nowadays, Weitou village, from the first village of cross-strait artillery battle to the first village of cross-strait intermarriage, has witnessed the legend of "Weitou bride" one after another. From the forefront of coastal defense in the past to the forefront of Taiwan today, the small fishing village has become a microcosm of the changes in cross-strait relations in more than 60 years. Let's join hands in unveiling the mystery of "the first village in the Strait" through the five promotion points of "watching Kinmen, exploring gun holes, soaking in sea water, eating seafood and staying at home".

Since the beginning of 2007, Weitou village has taken the opportunity of the "renovation of one hundred villages" demonstration village project in Jinjiang City, combined with the pilot development plan of Jinjing small town, determined the "ecological village, tourism village, culture village" The four projects of "building a village with integrity" for the people are progressing step by step in the nine-year process according to the established medium and long-term development blueprint of "one change in one year, one leap in five years, suitable for living, industry and tourism in ten years, and building a famous village in the Strait in twenty years". At present, "ecological beauty, common people's wealth, excellent industry and flexible mechanism" is taking shape day by day. In particular, while giving full play to the three advantages of "facing Taiwan, facing gold, and being close to the sea" and protecting and utilizing the three idle resources of "coastal ecology, war site, and miscellaneous wasteland", we should actively cultivate and build the characteristic industrial chain of Weitou ecological fishing village, and take the lead in creating a frontier window with the characteristics of ecological civilization in Jinjiang and even the national "eco-tourism demonstration area".

The change of Weitou has been praised as "Weitou spirit, Weitou mode and Weitou speed" by the media, with more than 400 relevant reports. Recently, Weitou village has won 11 "national brands" including the third batch of famous scenic tourism villages in China and model villages of rural tourism in China, 15 "provincial brands" including the second batch of national defense education bases in Fujian Province and the first batch of ten Fujian Taiwan rural tourism demonstration sites in Fujian Province, and the "first batch of ecological villages" in Quanzhou City, the second batch of ten beautiful villages in Quanzhou City and ten typical demonstration sites in Jinjiang City Village, etc.

In order to present the natural beauty of "blue sky, clear water, Jinsha and green forest" to many tourists, based on the good original ecological environment, Weitou scenic area has taken the lead in implementing the project of strengthening the village and enriching the people by upgrading Weitou "the first village in the Strait" to a national 4A scenic spot in 2016, activating the local flavor of "coastal landscape, battlefield landscape and cultural landscape" and highlighting the "Weitou" First, the eastern coastal leisure belt, including gudu sightseeing fishing port, Weitou Cape ecological park, Eastern peace park, Jinsha Bay, Yueliang Bay and Eastern Bay, forms "one port, two parks and three bays"; second, the Western battlefield sightseeing belt, including "8.23" Battlefield Park, Yuxiu building, Dawu building, battlefield culture square Yongping ancient city square and Binhai leisure square form "one district, two floors and three squares".
