Zhenhai Corner

In Longhai, Zhangzhou of Fujian, there lies a hidden gem called Zhenhai Corner. It's a paradise facing the sea, located at the junction of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, featuring a lighthouse, windmills, herds of cattle, and lush green grasslands. Every scene here seems like a masterpiece meticulously carved by nature. Zhenhai Village, where Zhenhai Corner is located, was once an obscure fishing village along the southeast coast. However, in the long river of history, it was the site of 'Zhenhai Wei,' one of the four major coastal defense towns of the Ming Dynasty, renowned alongside 'Tianjin Wei,' 'Weihai Wei,' and 'Jinshan Wei,' bearing the glorious history of resisting Japanese pirates along the coast of Fujian. Today, although the ancient city has turned into ruins, the profound sense of history still inspires awe. Zhenhai Corner is known as the 'Little Kenting of Fujian,' with its unique geographical location and pristine landscape attracting countless tourists. It is a cape that extends deep into the Pacific Ocean, where a red and white lighthouse stands tall at the tip of the cape, complemented by the vast meadows. Below the cliffs, the black rocks and white waves create a striking contrast, forming captivating scenes. Winding along the mountain roads, visitors can delve into the heart of the peninsula, experiencing the fresh air by the sea and the hard work of the fishermen. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Zhenhai Corner is undoubtedly the perfect spokesperson for the ocean. Here, you can gaze at the magnificent view where the sky and sea merge, and listen to the harmonious symphony of the wind and waves. The egrets on the rocks, the splashing waves, and the distant windmills all seem to tell the story of this land. The dark black rocks are precious relics left by an ancient volcanic island 23 million years ago, becoming more lustrous under the wash of the waves, adding a touch of mystery and charm to this beach. The green and yellow of the meadows are scattered in an orderly fashion, as if narrating the cycle of the four seasons. The wide and flat grasslands, shrouded in mist, add a bit of dreaminess and a fairy-like aura to Zhenhai Corner. Moreover, facilities such as swing sets and old buses left behind from TV drama shootings add a touch of petty-bourgeois sentiment to the land, attracting more and more tourists to visit.
