Start a Rudong Seafood Journey in the Name of a Wedding Banquet—Juegang Town Travel Guide

🎊A friend is getting married, and the bride is from Rudong. Our group of three cars embarked on a seafood feast journey!! Rudong belongs to Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. It faces the Yellow Sea to the east, so seafood is naturally a specialty here, and it's not expensive! Far cheaper than in Nanjing! According to local customs, we have to eat in Rudong for three days. Wow, how can we miss such a lively event! 🏯Guoqing Temple, it is said: The history of Guoqing Temple is almost equal to the formation of Juegang in Rudong. In the early Tang Dynasty, a sea defense dike separated Juegang from the beach, and Guoqing Temple was built with people's expectations for a peaceful and prosperous era. Juegang Guoqing Temple was built during the reign of Emperor Zongxian of the Tang Dynasty. The monk who built it was named Xingman, the tenth ancestor of Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain. Therefore, the Guoqing Temple in Juegang and the Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain have the same name and originally had the same structural style. When Master Xingman was building the temple, he once said, "If the temple is completed, the country will be peaceful." However, this ancient temple, which has experienced ups and downs for thousands of years in the long river of history, did not achieve the peace and tranquility that Master Xingman had hoped for. 🦀Eating is the main focus. The locals have mastered the art of cooking seafood. Such big sea crabs, such big sea prawns! Tin foil clams, the locals say to use beer to remove the fishy smell before eating. Yes! Fresh! So fresh! 🏗The completed Yellow Sea Bridge now charges a fee, 40 yuan. The bridge connects to Sunshine Island. I don't know if it has opened to the public yet. You can still see a few fishing boats on the sea! Can't resist taking a selfie! Any random shot is like a painting! The sunset over Yangkou Port is particularly gorgeous! Actually, the Yellow Sea is not yellow at all! 🛎Since Rudong's seafood is famous, you must visit the seafood market. Yellow croaker, saury, crabs, sea turtles, and many others whose names I can't even recall. Just follow the introductions and buy. In Nanjing, crabs sell for dozens or even a hundred yuan per jin, but here, even the farmed ones are only 20 yuan per jin, and they are big, meaty, and full of roe. The seafood market in Juegang Town is super cheap. Don't forget to pick some up before you leave! 📷Seeing the sea always makes people so excited!
