Hailu Island is more than 600 meters away from the coast/kloc-0, with an area of 13 12 square meters. According to myths and legends, Erlang God took a mountain to fill the sea into a mountain, and suddenly he heard a donkey barking in the East China Sea and a chicken crowing in the West Bank of Jordan River. In a panic, the pole broke and the basket fell into the sea, so the basket became two islands. Since then, people have called East Island Hailu Island and West Island Jiming Island. Between the two islands, there is a stone pillar towering into the sky and several feet high, which is called "Polar Stone". Although it is a myth, the natural shapes of the two islands are also very consistent with the myth.
On the sea donkey island, the scenery of rocks is magical and unpredictable. After a long period of tsunami impact erosion, the cliffs around the island have been devastated, riddled with holes and strange shapes. You can sail in a big sea cave, while a small sea cave can only accommodate a few people. Pink rocks, layered with vivid shapes, can be described as a scene step by step, fascinating and memorable.
Hailu Island is a bird world. When I boarded the sea donkey island, I saw seagulls everywhere on the island. Many seagulls cooed as if welcoming our tourists. Because there are no residents and no other natural enemies on the island, seagulls are becoming more and more fierce. Sometimes a large group of seagulls inhabit a rock reef at the same time, which will cover the whole rock reef and look like a white iceberg from a distance.
A large number of seagulls thrive in Hailu Island, which is inseparable from the natural conditions and special geographical location of the island. Every time after Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is the spawning season for seagulls. After laying eggs, seagulls begin to hatch in the second half of the month. At this time, the seagull rarely leaves the nest, and even if people catch it, it will not leave. Therefore, seagulls on the sea donkey island live in the crevices of rocks on the island reef and rarely fly in the sky. The only difference is that many people don't care about birds. They often come to Hailu Island with baskets and baskets to pick up seagulls' eggs. Seagulls fly around and moan. In the long run, this seagull world will be desolate.
Birds are always associated with flowers. Hailu Island is not only a world of birds, but also a kingdom of flowers. According to Rongcheng County Records, before the Tang Dynasty, cold-resistant flowers were distributed all over the island. Every early spring, cold-resistant flowers are in full bloom, and there are oceans of flowers all over the mountains. Therefore, Hailu Island has not only the alias of Haimao Island, but also the reputation of Donghua Island. The locals simply call it "Hua Tuo". During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Shen (official title, four products) who came to Haiphong Road visited Donghua Island and praised the scenery on the island. He sighed and once wrote a poem:
The secluded island is cold, and the flowers pity the jade tea.
Green spring is clean and snow is red.
Generally speaking, the quiet island still embodies the cold in the middle of winter, and the flowers that are resistant to winter are blooming, and the fragrance attacks people. Green leaves are cleaner than sea water, and the color of flowers has stained the residual snow with red edges. After vicissitudes of life, the anti-winter flowers on the island have unfortunately disappeared, replaced by Fanglianshanju. Maybe it's because the bonus time is not long and the beauty is unlucky. The island is still there, the mountains and seas are still there, and the good scenery of the past has long gone. However, there are still some chrysanthemums. Every autumn, the golden flowers are in full bloom. Seen from a distance, they are golden and beautiful. Only in those days, the scene of "white snow and red leaves" would not exist.
