Which island is the third largest island in China? Can you give me a brief introduction?
China has beautiful scenic spots all over the country. There are not only picturesque scenic spots, but also a large number of islands. Some islands are inhabited by residents, while others are desolate places that nobody cares about. In addition to the well-known islands, there are also some special islands. It can be said that it is an expanding island in China, and it is also a rare land of geomantic omen, which may be connected with the mainland in the near future.
This beautiful island is Chongming Island, which is listed as the third largest island in China. Most of Chongming Island belongs to Chongming District of Shanghai, and a small part belongs to Qilong Town, Qidong City, Nantong, Jiangsu Province and Haiyong Town, Haimen City, Nantong. Therefore, it is owned by Jiangsu and three counties in Shanghai. On this beautiful island, there are nearly 82, people living, and it is expanding at the speed of five square kilometers every year. If we continue to expand at this rate, Chongming Island will probably expand into the largest island in China in the future, which is also one of the expanding islands in China.
Chongming Island has a very flat terrain, fertile land and extremely beautiful natural scenery. It has the reputation of "the gateway to the Yangtze River and Yingzhou in the East China Sea". Chongming Island has a history of more than 1,3 years and now covers an area of 12.67 million square kilometers. At first, Chongming Island didn't exist at all, but it happened to be at the entrance of the Yangtze River. Every year, a lot of sediment piled up here. Because of the long-term accumulation, Chongming Island was formed.
At present, there are still a lot of silt accumulated in the eastern and northern beaches of Chongming Island, which is located at the eastern beach and is advancing to the East China Sea at a speed of about 1 meters every year. It is estimated that it will be connected with the northern land in the next 5 years. Therefore, after seeing this gratifying scene, everyone hopes that Chongming Island will become the largest island in China in the future. Now this island has attracted the attention of tourists, and tourists from all over the country come here every year, so Chongming Island is a rare treasure.
According to the nearly one million people living on Chongming Island, they all like the comfortable living environment of Chongming Island. Although life is not as fast as in big cities, people here are still very pleased. Seeing that the development trend of Chongming Island is gratifying, and there is a pure natural living environment here, people feel very satisfied.
Chongming Island is clean and windy. Looking around, it is full of unexplored natural scenery. Chongming Island is shaded by trees, especially the levee around the island, which is more than 2 kilometers long. From a distance, it looks like a long green dragon hovering on the island until the Yangtze River estuary, as if protecting the island's security. When you wake up in the morning, you can see the beautiful sunrise and enjoy the sunset in the evening.
