scenic spot
Flower and bird lighthouse is the second largest lighthouse in Asia, once known as North saddle lighthouse. It was built by the British in 1870, with a total construction area of 10000 square meters, of which the lamp house covers an area of 12.56 square meters. The tower is divided into four layers, with a brick garden column structure, white on the top and black on the bottom, with a height of 19.17 meters. The lamp house was originally equipped with a rotating mirror machine, with a candle force of 38000, which increased to 45000 in 1899, In 1937, the Japanese army occupied the flower and bird lighthouse and laid an undersea cable to Tokyo. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, it was returned to the government of the Republic of China. In July 1950, it was taken over by the Ministry of communications of the Central People's government and now managed by the Shanghai Shipping Bureau of the Ministry of communications, The top of the tower emits a rotating white light with a range of 24 nautical miles and a flash every 15 seconds, which can be called "night sea strange light". Especially in foggy weather, the lighthouse is hidden in the sea of fog. Every 40 minutes, the sound of the fog flute sounds like the sound of an old ox, which brings the gospel to the ships in chaos and calls the life of the misty. This group of "foggy Lighthouse" landscape also makes the flowers and birds famous. Huaniaoshan lighthouse was listed as a world historical and cultural relic Lighthouse by the international navigation mark Association in October 1997. In August 2001, the lighthouse was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit (the first stamp ceremony of flower and bird lighthouse was held in Shengsi on May 18, 2002).
legend
There is only one word difference between huaniao mountain in Shengsi and Huaguo Mountain in journey to the West. Besides, there used to be many monkeys on huaniao mountain. The ape cave on the island is very similar to the shuilian cave described in journey to the West. Therefore, according to the legend of the islanders, huaniao mountain is Huaguo Mountain. It is said that the monkey king had a big peach party and stole the peaches to be planted on Huaniaoshan island. Later, the peach trees became forests, and the fruits were plentiful. When the monkey king went out, he flew to huaniao mountain and ate all the peaches. The monkey king later learned that he was extremely angry and fought against the great Bluebird. Shenniao is very cunning. Knowing that he is not Wukong's opponent, he turns into a light dish and lures monkeys on the island to play. The monkey didn't know how powerful it was. He touched the meat core with his tail. The shell of the mussel was closed, and his tail was caught in it. The tide is rising and countless monkeys are drowned. The monkey king went to the West heaven Puxian Bodhisattva to cry and punish the green bird to guard the island to redeem his sin. It is said that Wu Chengen, the author of journey to the west, returned to the mainland from Putuo and passed by huaniao mountain in Shengsi. Hearing this legend, he changed huaniao mountain into Huaguo Mountain. This is the origin of the difference between "flower and bird mountain" and "flower and fruit mountain".
