Driving tour of Shenzhen in South Australia by: fzpwm
In the SARS epidemic days, because we are in infected areas, the original travel plans arranged to provinces, reluctantly canceled. Homes far from recent developments it, so in one weekend, our family drove to the east of Shenzhen turn full circle. We discovered that the Shenzhen playable can see where quite a bit.
Morning 7:30 start walking eastbound Binhe, over Liantang, the walk Wutong Mountain Road, new road winding along the sides of the border Raozhi Wutong Mountain Tunnel East Side, through the Sha Tau Kok Town, Yantian Port, the dam on the Salt Highway eastbound, to the Kwai Chung (Chung, local oral reading of "raiding" of sound) the town of soil Yeung Village, the next high-speed, and visit "the former headquarters of East River Column."
Yeung Village, the narrow streets and alleys in the soil where, fortunately there are guidepost, abductions of several bends before to the high ground in the village of East Rift Command site. Here was previously a Catholic, Anti-Japanese War, the East River Column Command in 1944 in this. As is now repaired, and the establishment of the "East vertical Historical Pavilion" tickets 5 yuan per person. Our daughter, son, I am surprised to still see in Shenzhen Sino-Japanese War relics.
The full name is the East River Column, "the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese guerrilla East River Column," its predecessor was established in 1938, "the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese guerrilla corps" in the Japanese attack on the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines started. The spring of 1942, Corps headquarters moved from the Kwai Chung soil Yeung Village, Longhua, Baoan, 1943 winter designation was renamed the East River Column, set up headquarters. Here in Hong Kong across the sea, the sand near the Quarry Bay was the mainland and Hong Kong's major water channel. In December 1941, after the fall of Hong Kong, this guerrilla war zone to rescue them from the enemy's many cultural celebrities and patriots, there are hundreds of international friends and captured the British won praise from allies and become a thrill of the history of Sino-Japanese War anecdotes.
After the tour, we drove to the southeast, after Dapeng Town, and then go east 7 km, they arrive at an ancient city - Dapeng the city, tickets 20 yuan per person, ticket office next to a parking lot.
This ancient city is located in Dapeng Peninsula in the middle of the back overlooking slightly square, more than 300 meters long on each side, about 1 kilometer and a half weeks, the construction of the Ming Hongwu Twenty-seven years (AD 1394), for the then coastal defense commands "Nanhai Wei" subordinate "Dapeng Shouyu 1000 as" The Castle, is the Ming Dynasty to ward off pirates, on the southeastern coast of the garrison on one of the wide range of established, referred to as "Dapeng by the City." It is said that Shenzhen, known as "Pengcheng" on the origins of.
We began to visit the south gate tower, above the ancient city of displaying a model of the head in the city overlooking the city of the Ming and Qing dynasty houses brick and gray tiles, it seems preserved largely intact, but a number of TV antenna on the roof lengthwise to reveal a bit of modern information. Walking the streets in the ancient city Zhaixia, as if to return to some old photographs seen more than a century before the time. However, many antique courtyards, the living wage is provincial to the local families, the people living in the vicinity of the new multi-story buildings. Old Town, within several still preserved in the Qing Dynasty "General mansion," which the Anti-British champion Ryan Jue's "Zhenwei general section" the most complete, 150-year history, is a rare, Guangdong Province, a large-scale ancient architecture. According to reports, in 2001, "Dapeng the city" by the State Council published "National key cultural relics protection unit", which is worth a visit tourist places in Shenzhen.
Come out from the city, left open a few kilometers east, far be able to see "the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station," form a significant feature of the plant, plant can not easily enter, we are open to the door U-turn to go back. Dapeng Town, south through the southeast corner of a hill and saw the mountains there is a monument, so get off mountain climbing, originally "East vertical Martyrs Monument," Beizuo has been defective, the surrounding environment are also some messy, it seems, where completed After the lack of proper care.
After the Eulogy, continue south, arriving by lunchtime and South Australian town, here is a fishing port, the first few frames in the harbor next to the photography, but also to the aquaculture market to buy shrimp, silver fish, seaweed and other dried seafood, and then go to a seafood restaurant lunch, try a few sample the local seafood, the taste can be, the price more expensive than the city of Shenzhen.
After dinner, then drove south along the coast, not far from the roadside to see a small bay, beach very good, we had some sea tour. Suddenly, a torrential rain to the unexpected, sandwiched lightning, rain hit the spine like a needle on the feeling of fear of a accident, but unfortunately got into the car quickly shore shelter. You do not become a beach is, decided to go to West Bay to see.
So Shui back to South Australia, off to the southeast, in the rain across the Dapeng Peninsula, into a mountain, this is the second peak Qiniang Shan, Shenzhen, south-west slope of 869 meters above sea level overlooking the main peak, can not help but lead to the future you want to climb the interest .
Then southwest, through the West Bay (Wash) village, we drove directly to the peak top of the Mid-levels, where you can to the north-east overlooking the West Bay (Wash) Bay, a beautiful half-moon bay, the beach is very long, is a good bathing in the sea place. That we will certainly come back.
On the hillside stay for a while, the original northbound, headed for a tour today, the last point. Maple drive to the northern end of Long Reservoir, the discount to the new Omura, take the mountains east of the town to the east of South Australia, the other way, to continue northward to Shui Tau Tsuen, Dapeng Town, then the northwest line to the Kwai Chung (Wash) the town, the ED also the northwest OK to Pingshan Town, off to the northeast line to Kengzi Town, north of Center Street in the town near the Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway near, we have found a significant scale ancient dwellings - Tatta traditional homelands. Do not sell tickets, as if someone has not managed.
Longgang District Longtian NATIVE is currently retained by one of the most complete of the Hakka houses, can be regarded as Hakka, "Kakoiya" in type. But it is not a circular plane, while the built square, thick walls, the main entrance of the north, there is an open space in front of the east, north and west on three sides, Wai similar moat pond, apparently has some sort of defense function. "Kakoiya" and within the four walls, there are several aspect of the roadway and the equivalent of a small patio courtyard there were probably dozens of rooms, you can have together watched dozens of families to live with families. According to information on, Lung clan has lived in the Qing dynasty, seventeen years (1837) from Meixian relocated to the Wong clan built, after 160 years of wind and rain, save the date is also not easy. However, according to our observation, and now live there are a lot of Sichuan, Hunan and other provinces come to this side of the migrant workers, with the Dapeng Ancient City is somewhat similar to the situation where households. Do not know if such an arrangement, the protection unit is appropriate?
Out from the old house, and we set foot on Return Journey. Kengzi Town to the northwest from the walk to the west of the year Toyomura rich in salt, Hui Gang toll booths on the highway, the southwest line; to Dutch Au Interchange, Holland-on high speed; to Qing Lake Interchange, off the south, on the plum concept of high-speed, by Merlin into the customs checkpoints, home 6:30, a full 11 hours, except for visits, lunch, shopping and swimming a total of approximately 6 hours, the journey is about 5 hours.
Had previously been thought that the rise of Shenzhen, just a new modern city, the South Australian tour, before we know she also has a long history and rich cultural heritage, can be said that this is a major harvest of this excursion.
