Historical development

Jiangxin Island was two small islands in ancient times. Xie Lingyun, the prefect of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Southern Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty, once boarded the island and wrote down that "the turbulent flow tends to be absolute, and the island is beautiful to Zhongchuan. The clouds and the sun shine, the air and the water are fresh. After the Tang Dynasty, Fanyu and futu were gradually built on the island.

In the seventh year of Xiantong (866), Jingxin temple was built at the foot of the west east.

In the second year of Kaibao of Song Dynasty (969), Puji temple was built at the West foot of Dongshan mountain, and the West Tower and the east tower were successively built.

In 1130, the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, once stayed in Puji Buddhist temple to avoid Jin soldiers.

In 1137, the Seng Qing came to Jiangxin Island to set up an altar to preach scriptures, and led the crowd to fill Zhongchuan, so the two islands were connected into one; at the filling place, a temple was built, known as Zhongchuan temple, which is commonly known as Jiangxin temple. Not long ago, Gaozong gave it the name of Longxiang Xingqing temple and regarded it as the "ancestral hall". Since then, foreign monks have come to worship, and there is still an endless stream in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In 1974, with the government's attention, the "jiangxinyu extension project headquarters" was set up to clean the waterway and transform the tidal flats. The original 60 mu park has been expanded to 1000 mu. Among them, xiaofeihong, bonsai garden, Hualiu Pavilion, Youth Activity Center, Gongqing lake, lover's Island, children's paradise and comprehensive playground have been expanded, forming a pattern of river in the river, island in the island and garden in the garden.

In 1981, the two towers were listed as the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Wenzhou.

In 1997, the East West twin towers were listed as one of the world's 100 historical and cultural lighthouses by the international navigation mark organization. The International Association of AIDS to navigation officially declared it a world heritage site.

In 1998, the municipal government once again invested 38 million yuan to start the "beautiful project" and completed it on February 11, 1999, making night tour of Jiangxin Island a reality.

In 2000, the Dongou bridge was completed and opened to traffic, connecting jiangxinyu with Wenzhou on the south bank and Oubei on the north bank, and the West Expansion Project of jiangxinyu began.

In June 2006, the construction of jiangxinyu light show started, using modern projection principles and various techniques, focusing on two towers and one temple.
