Why is Meitou in Longwan District called Meitou?

Meitou (Haicheng), according to folk sayings, the origin of the place name of Meitou is related to the local Meigang Mountain. In the past, Meigang Mountain was full of plum blossoms. Meitou people thought it was a treasure trove of geomantic omen, so they chose the end of Meigang Mountain and settled down. The origin of Haicheng is related to the establishment of the inspection department here in the Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, in the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the invasion of Japanese invaders, the court established a patrol department in Meitou and built a castle. Therefore, in the adjustment of Longwan zoning, considering the local special historical origin and people's good wishes, Meitou was changed to Haicheng.
