Jinghai Town is located in the southeast corner of Huilai County, 26 kilometers away from Huilai County. Most of the territory is mountainous, with its back facing the South China Sea. Like the ancient city, there is the name of elephant city, Jingjiang is the name of Jinghai, and the lake and the sea are connected. It can be described as the ancient elephant city, now the sea of tranquility. In addition, there are other names such as Egg Island, Jingjiang City and Chengcheng.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, fishermen lived in Jinghai. In Yuan Shundi (A.D. 1333- 1368), most villagers in the 18th Township of Houbiaolou moved here because of pirates. Some villagers in Xiaoba Township and Shibei Township moved to seniors. In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1394), thousands of households in Jinghai were stationed. Under Chaozhou Wei, there are more than a thousand generals, 1 12 1 flag soldiers. The first Ganzong Xi Fu Ju. In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, the court ordered the city to be built. In the thirty-second year of Jiajing (A.D. 1553), it was included in Huilai County. At that time, Jinghai was a part of the former capital of Dadu and Youtou. 1948 Before the liberation of Jinghai, the whole eastern area outside Kuiyangguan was under the jurisdiction of Jinghai Town. After liberation, many changes have taken place in regional construction. 1986 withdraw the district to build a town, which has jurisdiction over 2 neighborhood committees, 1 fishermen's committees and 22 villagers' committees. It covers an area of 48.45 square kilometers and has a population of 72,978.
Jinghai (Institute) was founded in the 28th year of Ming Jiajing (A.D. 1549) and was completed in 13. It was rebuilt in the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi (A.D. 1699) and the fifth year of Yongzheng (A.D. 1927). Jinghai Town is an inverted tripod with a protruding center and a lower periphery. The city is 10 foot high and the wall is 50 1 foot long. The east, west, north and south gates are connected by cross streets. There are urns and towers in the city gate. The inner and outer sides of the city wall are built with stones, and the middle is rammed with soil. The city wall is covered with piles with holes, and the west of the city is Happy Valley Road. Stone tablets are hung on the four city gates: in the east, it means "the sea wins the overall situation", in the west, it means "the sea of tranquility and An Lan", in the south, it means "harmony without difference, avoiding it", and in the north, it means "the key will last forever". Nanchengmen and the city wall were demolished during the construction of Shishi Lake Sluice in 1952, but the northeast city wall and the tower still exist.
Xiangshan is surrounded by Bincheng and the lake and sea are connected to Beijing.
Soldiers are biting bones, but cherish the sea, and the southern Xinjiang territory is famous.
Jinghai Institute has always been the outpost of coastal defense in eastern Guangdong, the fortress of garrison and the gateway of Huilai County. There are still military fortifications or relics left over from past dynasties. Such as the North-South Fort built in Ming Dynasty on both sides of Jinghai Bay. The North Fort is called Jinghai Fort and the South Fort is called Advanced Fort, each with eight cannons, 18 Barracks. The North Artillery Corps has 1 team members and 47 Taiwan soldiers. Nanying has 1 members and 18 soldiers. In the south of Houyi Village, which was built 83 1 year outside the North Gate, Wuling Post Station was once built, and the "Qian Qian Palace" in front of the post station still exists. Outside the East Gate is the former site of the Military Academy. There is also a part of the "Ancient Lime Road" from Jinghai City to Chaoyang via a post station. About Wuhuali in the northeast of Jinghai City, there is also the ancient smoke pier "beacon tower" built in the Qing Dynasty.
Because the sea of tranquility looks like a peninsula, it constitutes the turning point from Shantou to Shanwei, and it is the only way for all kinds of ships to sail. At the seaside of Banmei Village, about 6 kilometers near Jinghai Town, it is an international beacon built by British international companies during the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and it is called "Shibeishan Lighthouse". Original tower height 120 feet. This tower was taken over by the Kuomintang government in 1932, demolished in 1942 and rebuilt in 1948. Change the tower height to 1 10 feet. After liberation, it was rebuilt by the people's government on 1954. This tower is 33 meters high and is the tallest lighthouse in the South China Sea. 1May, 1986, the tower was refitted with British rotating spotlight with a range of 18 nautical mile. There is a poem that says: There is a peak at the foot of Shibei Mountain. The huge tower is majestic in the blue sky, shining thousands of miles and pointing to the sails reflecting the rainbow.
Jinghaiyuan, which was built in 638 years, and Jinghai City, which was built in 483 years, were earlier than Huilai County 155 and 25 years respectively, so Jinghai City can be called Huilai Ancient City and Binhai Ancient Town in East Guangdong.
Jinghai town, which is surrounded by mountains and seas, has beautiful scenery. Within the jurisdiction, there is "Lingyun in Gangjing", with green peaks and misty clouds, and "Gentleman Spring is full of sweetness"; The moon is bright, and "fishing for the moon in Nantan" sinks; There are towering and graceful "peaks"; There is "heavy rain", ancient trees are sparse, and wild flowers are fragrant; It looks like a meteorite, and the boulders are piled high. There are rugged rocks and awesome "General Mountain"; There are smoke cages in the four fields, and lotus hoes and calves "cultivate smoke in the northern fields". In addition, there are many scenic spots under development and waiting to be developed. Such as "Pearl of the Cape", "Jintan in the Green Field", "Moon Reflected in the Lion Lake" and "Strange Stone on the Back Table" will be places that people will never leave.
The terrain is southeast of Jinghai, with a coastline of 22 kilometers. Bay stone and Shibei Mountain form the angle between Beijing and the sea, and the middle depression forms a natural bay with wide water depth and a bathing beach with golden sands and silver waves. Jinghai Bay is surrounded by stone tablets and rugged rocks, which can be called the "eastern soil screen fan" and "door lock key" of Huilai County.
The advantaged Jinghai Bay has bred excellent Jinghai Harbor and advanced typhoon shelter, and formed a brother fishing port, which is one of the two major marine fishing bases in Huilai County. The long-standing south gate longline fishing, experienced drag wind and lotus sweeping are all famous. Eel, grouper, shark and squid, squid and shrimp are famous fishery products in the two places respectively. Due to the long coastline and numerous reefs along the coast, it is the growing place of lobster, abalone, laver and sea urchin, so Jinghai has become the origin of rare seafood. In 1960s and early 1970s, both Shantou Daily and Yangcheng Evening News reported abalone, lobster and beans in Jinghai dialect.
In addition to fishing, the shipping of Beijing-Hangzhou Port is also very developed and the trade is prosperous. In the 26th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, the Customs Registration Office was established in Jinghai, which was later changed to the former site of the Customs. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, large wooden merchant ships often sailed to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and other merchant ships arrived in Jinghai, transporting brown sugar and potato powder to the north and silk, cloth and daily industrial products to the south. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Jinghai merchant ships were diverted to Hong Kong and other places. Garlic, brown sugar and other agricultural and sideline products, aquatic products and salt have always been the main export products of Jinghai.
After the liberation of Jinghai, under the leadership of the people's government, from 1956 to 1957, the Provincial Fisheries Department invested 407,000 yuan, and the local government raised 30,000 yuan to build 40,000 square meters typhoon shelters for 200-300 fishing boats. Since then, the life and property of fishermen in Jinghai have been guaranteed.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/970, Huilai County set up the "Quiet Harbor Project Command" to mobilize the people of Jinghai Town and the laborers in Tian Xin, Xian 'an, Zhoutian, Qianzhan and other towns (called communes) to work hard for three years to manage Jinghai Harbor. * * * Invested 800,000 volunteer days, with a capital of 740,000 yuan, and newly dug channel1.260m, and newly dug a port gate with a width of 60m and a depth of 5m at Wozaizui. 198 1 Continue the construction, dredge the water depth of the port, deepen the old and new navigation channels from the port to Shishi Lake Gate, and build stones to protect the embankment. Since then, a new sail lane with a length of 2960 meters, a width of 120- 188 meters and an area of 50 square meters has been born in the southeast of the ancient city. After transformation, the Jinghai Port Gate basically maintained the water depth of 3.5 meters at low tide and 5 meters at high tide, and was also equipped with wharf, warehouse and water supply and power supply facilities. The whole port can accommodate more than 800 ships of all kinds, and it is one of the best ports to avoid typhoons along the coast of eastern Guangdong.
The construction of the port has promoted the great development of large-tonnage mechanized fishing boats. By 2007, the town had 272 mechanized fishing boats with a total tonnage of 5,977 tons. The mechanization, telecommunication and navigation of fishing boats ensure the safety of fishermen and fishing boats and promote the new development of fishery production. After liberation, fishermen in Jinghai, especially those in Nanmenwai Village, wrote a series of heroic songs on the fishery production front. Expedite "Tsai Reef", conquer "Evil Shark Bay" and avoid new deep-sea fishing grounds. It has been published in the national publication "Germination" in the genre of reportage, and enjoys a high reputation in Guangdong and even the whole country.
Exactly: the wind is blowing and the waves are emptying, and the strong men are inspirational to smash the shark palace; No matter how sinister the journey is, you are a hero on the "Evil Shark Bay".
Shishi Lake was originally a large saltwater lake in the east of Huilai County, covering an area of about square kilometers. Close the snow water, Jingkou water and Dashan Huigang outside the customs. Shishi Lake is dotted with rivers and lakes on both sides, with ponds and lakes dotted, and Long Yang, a plain scenery outside the customs, is in the north. Before the gate of Shishi Lake was built, the lake was a mixture of salt and water, and the tide rose and retreated twice a day, and the great lake was swallowed up repeatedly, which naturally became the driving force for scouring the sediment in rivers and ports. By the lake are large salt fields outside Ximen and Geshan Village. Historically, these two villages specialized in producing sea salt. Houshan, Janice and Mogang Village in the southwest of the lake are the main grain producing areas in Jinghai Town. The lake is rich in high-quality crabs, hairy crabs, sand shrimps and all kinds of freshwater fish, which can be called a comprehensive production area of fish, rice and salt.
1952, the county water conservancy bureau built a river sluice-"Shishi Lake Sluice" at the junction of rivers and lakes, if it is conducive to moisture prevention and drainage. During the Great Leap Forward period of the commune, two earth dams were built in the middle of the lake to reclaim land around the lake, which gradually changed the original ecological environment conditions of Shishi Lake and its surrounding areas. In 2006, in order to facilitate the smooth drainage and navigation, it was rebuilt and expanded again. After the renovation of the salt field near Shishi Lake, the town (commune) built a 10,000-mu salt field in the coastal red soil area to restore salt production in Jinghai Town.
Between Jinghai and the senior, Bijia Mountain goes down to the beach of Jinghai Bay, which is several kilometers. In the past, it was a barren desert. Sand burns your feet every day, and rain soaks your feet, which is daunting. From 65438 to 0958, the government organized the cadres and masses of the whole town to cultivate soil and plant trees, and planted Casuarina equisetifolia on a large scale. Established the oasis forest farm. At the same time, build a highway from Jinghai to advanced level. Since then, the history of communication between Jinghai and the masses in the southeast of China has ended. In addition, Houbiao Forest Farm is built in Houbiao, and the coastal areas are basically green, which not only changes the natural environment of coastal barren hills and beaches, but also provides a lot of fuel for Jinghai residents.
From liberation to 2005, after half a century, Xiangcheng ancient town has made certain achievements in all aspects, but the appearance of the town has remained extensive and failed to produce great changes. In contrast, it lags far behind several other old towns in the county. In particular, the roads outside the city are narrow, the traffic is blocked, and the old city is old and incomplete. Many people in Jinghai who live in other places feel sad about this. Exactly: I am proud of the history of Kuiyang, but I am in sorrow. In 2006, after the change of the town government, the new leadership team with Chen Bureau as its secretary, taking advantage of the east wind of building a new socialist countryside, was far-sighted and sized up the situation, and vigorously transformed the face of the old Jinghai city. The restored city wall in the northeast of the city makes the ancient city glow again. At the entrance of Chengxi Avenue stands a large stone archway with three doors and four columns, which reads "Heqing Haiyan". In front of the "An Lan Pavilion" in the south of the city, there is a large stone statue symbolizing "Elephant City". Let the ancient town "be as famous as its city, not like its city" and become a veritable elephant city. At present, the lakeside water in Lion Mountain is "the symbol of jade is bright, and the border town is strong and beautiful". It has become a good place for people to relax and enjoy. What's more worth mentioning is that three cement roads have been paved around the city, trees have been planted on the columns by the lake, and lights have been erected, forming a coastal promenade, which has fundamentally changed the appearance and traffic of the ancient city. Today's Jinghai city is really a new look, a new look. Both local residents and foreign tourists feel dazzled and full of praise. Villagers in Jinghai wrote a five-word Tibetan poem to express their respect:
Jingjiang decorates the ancient city, and the seawall is charming.
The jade elephant was placed in the south of the town and its political achievements were smooth.
The government attaches great importance to cultural relics and has set up a commemorative gold book in the square.
People are enthusiastic and people sing about their husbands.
With the construction of Jinghai Power Plant, the future of Jinghai will be a prosperous and gorgeous picture. Huilai (Jinghai) Thermal Power Plant plans to invest a total of more than 40 billion yuan, and the first phase of the project has invested 6.3 billion yuan to complete the construction of 2× 600,000 kilowatt generating units and put them into production. Jinghai Shibeishan Wind Farm, which comes from the thermal power plant, has invested 746 million yuan to install 167 wind turbines, and all of them have been put into production. The total annual power generation can reach more than 25 million kWh. There are telephone poles and windmills everywhere in the beach wasteland around Jing Wan. An energy base that is under construction and development will surely bring more projects and bring gratifying take-off to the economic development of Jinghai Huilai. To be exact:
Clear water, clear waves and quiet bay,
Wind energy and thermal power are related.
Thousands of lanterns reflect the vast sea,
The sleeping ancient city shines with starlight.

There are not a few Jinghai students who have achieved excellent results in previous college entrance examinations, and a new generation of scholars are all over the country and all walks of life.
