Exploring Sanmen Island

Sanmen Island This small island of less than five square kilometers is less than two hours' drive from Shenzhen. On one holiday, I spent ten hours without getting in. The long dragon stretched for tens of kilometers and finally had to look back at the island. Finally, I set foot on Sanmen Island again one day not long after. Sanmen Island set up a customs in the Qing Dynasty. New China once designated Sanmen Island as a military restricted area, successively building various offensive and defensive fortifications, and stationed until the mid-1990s. A century of closure has preserved the perfect natural ecology of Sanmen Island. The next morning, I saw blooming lotus flowers by the Acacia Lake (it seems rare to see this light pink color) Sanmen Island is a volcanic island formed by volcanic eruption. The sea erosion formed by the volcanic rock wall on the beach is particularly spectacular. Under the scorching sun, I sat with my old friend under the sea erosion cliff, watching the waves splashing at my feet and the strong wind blowing. Through a row of dilapidated houses along the winding path to the Moon Bay beach, the beach about three hundred meters wide is like a new moon, the sand is soft, the foot is like cotton, the sea water is blue, clear and transparent, Changqing brother enters the sea like a dragon, sea urchin abalone dives to take, the little guy holding the bucket jumping up and down forgets himself. The time on the island is slow, the fishing boat is stranded on the beach, the dried fish has become a fossil of memory, occasionally a man smoking a cigarette slowly walks past in slippers.. We finally found the Color Stone Beach, we stayed here for several hours, and there was no second wave of people coming, only saw the big wheel slowly driving past in the distance The sea water in the evening becomes dark blue and mysterious, with a bit of ferocious face covering the colorful stone beach. The whirlpool formed by the raging waves is like a rope pulling the small snails and crabs on the stone into the black valley. We retreated to the shore, no longer seeing the jumping sunlight on the colored stones, no longer seeing the small fish swimming in the shallow sea, the rumbling wave sound was dull like the breath of a monster hitting the stone shore. The Acacia Lake is calm, watching the sunset quietly... The water lilies on the shore have already fallen asleep It is said that there is a total length of 5 kilometers of underground works and crisscross trenches on the island. So a group of three people took a stick as a cane, opened the weeds and spider webs in the forest, and saw the hidden camp in the forest, the cement-covered military supply warehouse, the gun position hidden by the mountain stone, and the trench covered by the wild grass and vines along the way. Open the long-sealed iron door, we entered the pitch-black tunnel, feeling a strong wind blowing in the dark. With the faint flashlight, we saw small rooms with numbers written on both sides. The iron door is rusty. We used a long tree trunk to explore the way. We stepped on the exposed cables from time to time. It was quiet except for the wind and breathing. I didn't expect that breathing at this moment was so clear and heavy. I don't know how long I walked. Finally, I found a light at a corner, followed the light, and fortunately, the heavy iron door and cement door were half open, the exit was opened at a corner, we used a tree stick to poke some bricks, and the salty taste of the sea breeze and the smell of mountain wood and wild grass came oncoming. We crawled out of the dark tunnel and put the tree trunk used for exploration next to it as a memorial. Next to this tunnel is the then combat command post, which is completely covered by weeds. The red characters of 1956 are clearly visible 🏖Location: Daya Bay, Huiyang, Huizhou 🛥Transportation: Drive to Dongchong or Xichong, then transfer to a speedboat or ferry to the island, about twenty minutes.
