East China Sea Longshui Ridge History?

It is said that before the French colonialists occupied Guangzhou Bay, Longshui Ridge was surrounded by white sand, and only the peaks were red. There is a "Gaoshangong" temple on the top of Longshui Ridge, which is carved from a large stone. It is integrated and exquisite. Legend has it that when Gao Shanggong went to the peach banquet hosted by Guanshiyin in the South China Sea, he passed by Longshui Ridge because the ridge was too high to fly over. Seeing that he had missed the time for the banquet, Gao Shanggong kicked Longshui Ridge away. It took a long time to become what it is today. Gao Shanggong later lived here. There is a hole ten meters in front of the temple. The diameter of the hole is one meter wide and unfathomable. There are stone figures, stone drums, stone gongs and other pictographic objects on the ridge. When the stone drum is struck, it immediately makes a "dong, dong, dong" and "dang, dong, dong" sound, which is magical and inexplicable. Unfortunately, it was blown up by French colonialists to build a lighthouse. Longhaitian is located in the eastern part of Donghai Island. It is a tourist area. Donghai Island is the fifth largest island in China. It is a natural tourist resort composed of mountains, valleys, hills, beaches and green forests. It is close to the South China Sea and has 56 miles of blue waves. Silver sand, 56 miles of green trees, thousands of scenes, majestic! "The dragon swims around, the dragon turns over the water, the dragon plays in the water, the water surrounds the dragon, the water inhabits the dragon, and the water hides the dragon." This couplet was improvised by a court minister during his visit to Longshui Ridge during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. In the tourist area, dozens of exotic villas and hotels are covered by tropical green shade. There are thousands of tourists, watching the sea and listening to the waves, surfing and playing in the sand, recuperating and vacationing, and doing business meetings.

According to research, this ridge was formed by volcanic eruptions in ancient times. It is 110 meters above sea level, lined with green trees all year round, and has picturesque scenery. It is said that before the French colonialists occupied Guangzhou Bay, Longshui Ridge was surrounded by white sand, and only the peaks were red. There is a "Gaoshangong" temple on the top of Longshui Ridge, which is carved from a large stone. It is integrated and exquisite. Longshui Ridge is the choke point for ships entering and leaving Zhanjiang Port, and is a natural "green mark". There are abandoned military projects underground, piercing the mountainside, and the mechanisms are mysteriously missing, making it unforgettable. It is now planned to be developed into a multi-functional entertainment venue - "Underground Dragon Palace". There is no written evidence for the name of Longshui Ridge, but various legends are spread among the people. It is said that Longshui Ridge was originally a geomantic treasure place where the ancestors of the local Long family were buried. Later, it was destroyed by the imperial court and turned into a mountain. Another story is that a long time ago, the Queen Mother descended to earth and accidentally lost a fragrant pearl in Hong Kong. The Dragon King sent ten little dragons to guard the fragrant pearl. One of the white dragons was greedy for the beautiful scenery of Donghai Island. He left his post without permission and flew to Donghai Island to play. He was so happy that he never wanted to return and settled here... But only nine dragons remained in Hong Kong. , so Hong Kong’s Kowloon got its name. These beautiful legends have added a bit of magic to Long Shui Ling. The legend entrusts people's good wishes, and the Longshui Ridge in front of us does look like a giant dragon with its head raised. Longhaitian is the world of dragons.
