Jiangxin Island is still very good.
Jiangxin Island is located in the Oujiang River in the north of Wenzhou City, with a total area of ??about 70,000 square meters. It is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. It is one of the four most scenic islands in China. Celebrities from past dynasties, starting from Xie Lingyun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including Li Bai, Du Fu, Meng Haoran, Han Yu, Lu You, Wen Tianxiang, etc., have all stayed on Jiangxin Island one after another.
The East-West Twin Towers on Jiangxin Island were built in the Tang Dynasty. In 1997, they were listed as one of the 100 historical and cultural lighthouses in the world by the International Navigation Aids Organization.
It is worth mentioning that the British also took a fancy to this island. In 1894, they built the British Consulate in Vancouver at the foot of Dongta Mountain. In 1924, after the British Consulate was abolished, it became the Taxation Department Villa. It is currently being renovated and is expected to be completed and opened before the National Day this year.
There are several ancient trees. A few days before we went to Wenzhou, we heard that a 1,300-year-old banyan tree was struck by lightning two days ago. Sure enough, it was still being rescued after it fell sideways. There are many traces of celebrities on Jiangxin Island, and many poets have written poems about Jiangxin Island. In addition to Jiangxin Temple, the Wenzhou Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall is also on Jiangxin Island. The ferry boat to and from Jiangxin Island leaves every 20 minutes. The ticket is not expensive at 25 per person. However, Jiangxin Island was under construction everywhere at the time, so you could only see the West Tower and various ancient trees.
