Scenic spots and historical sites in Dagou town

Guodaijing: Located in Sanya Village, Dagou. It is said that in the last years of Nanning, the imperial court of the Song Dynasty was defeated and retreated to the cliff mountain of Xinhui. After Ning Dibing jumped into the sea, his jade belt floated into the brine of Sanya Port, and the locals dug a small well the same size as the jade belt trace. Although the small well is by the sea, the well water is sweet, and its taste will not change even if the tide rises.

The first temple: located in the southwest of Dagou town 1.5km. According to legend, in Hongwu 13 (138 1), a South China monk, Hui Xing, visited this place, confirmed the excellent geomantic omen and raised funds to build Zhenhai Temple. Zhenhai Temple faces the blue waters, and there are several acres of natural ancient garbage connected with Zhenhai Mountain, with a magnificent terrain. In the Ming Dynasty 10 (1443), Daoyan and Yun Shang, the master of the motherland, swam to Zhenhai Temple and wrote the famous couplet that stood on the top of the world of mortals and was engraved in front of the main entrance of the temple. Since then, the temple has been renamed the first mountain, and the sea has changed. Although the first temple was tottering, the brick wall was intact.

Huadong Wenbi Pagoda: Located at the south150m of Huadong Village in Dagou, isolated from the wild river bank, it is a brick pagoda. At present, there are only three floors, 8 meters high and the tower is octagonal. There are windows on each floor, which obviously converge to the top. The floor is surrounded by short eaves of tile pipes and tiles. Each side of the tower foundation is 2.2 meters long, and there is a door on the ground floor, which is now broken. This is caused by earthquakes and man-made.

Ruins of Hailang City: Zhenhai Mountain in Haitou, two kilometers southwest of Dagou Town. Wu Xin village is in the south, the beach in front of the village is the South China Sea, and the northwest is backed by mountains. The city, with mountains as the barrier, is built around the top of the mountain along the natural terrain. The city wall is a rammed earth structure and a slightly oval defensive city.

This defensive ancient city was built in the 27th year of Ming Hongwu (1394). The perimeter of the city is 2,200 meters, the diameter in the southeast is 700 meters, the length in the northwest is 540 meters, and there are four gatehouses with a height of 4.66 meters. In the 30th year of Wanli (1602), a watchtower was built in Xu Lin. In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), a wave fort was built on it. Wave City was abandoned in the early years of Qing Qianlong.

The situation of the site of Hailang City is not well recorded in historical documents, and the layout of the city is not clear. But the ruins of the city wall can be seen vaguely from the abandoned ruins. Some existing city walls are relatively complete, and the ground is getting higher and higher to the west. There is also a three-meter-high outer wall in the east, and you can see the traces of the moat outside the city. In this abandoned city, some have been reclaimed and planted for future generations. What is exposed on the ground are red and blue brick fragments, which should be the raw materials of the construction site at that time, as well as yellow glaze and blue and white ceramic plate fragments. There are also three big stones on the top of the mountain, which are engraved with three Chinese characters of Zhenhai Mountain. So far, it can be clearly seen from a distance that this coastal defense city does have an important strategic position.
