You can see that from the sea, basically all fishing boats, and some fish farming facilities, there are basically more vigorous fisheries here, so the seafood here is also particularly fresh.

    If you drive over, parking is also more convenient. Although the place is relatively remote, the scenery is very good, so it also attracts many people to drive over by themselves. The most important thing is that it is free and has not been over-developed.

    The history here has been very long, the people here have been fishing near here a long time ago, and a small city has been built on it, mainly to resist foreign enemies from the sea, about 100 years earlier than the Lipu side.

    Haimen Island is situated at the mouth of Jiulong River, bordering Haicang in Xiamen in the north and Longhai in Zhangzhou in the west. The whole island is shuttle-shaped, and its area is about twice that of Gulangyu. It is also an island. Compared with Gulangyu Island, which is famous all over the world, it is not so good, even lacking in fame. The original fishing village style on the island gave me the first impression that it was peaceful and beautiful, with a slow pace. Because of the inconvenience of transportation on the island, compared with Gulangyu Island, which is also an island, it has less fame, prosperity and impetuosity, but retains the primitive rural scenery like peach blossom and the customs of fishing villages in southern Fujian. The villagers mainly engage in fishing, supplemented by breeding and planting. Fishing and woodcutting, reading, simple folk customs. Not far from the toll station is a "grassland", which is said to be a grassland growing after the conversion of farmland, and there are cattle grazing leisurely on it. It's very pleasant to be away from the noisy environment on the island. It's hard to imagine the bustling downtown area of Xiamen more than a dozen kilometers away from the island. Wave, beach, ancient foot, dock, fishing boat constitute the island's fishing village style. On cloudy days, walking along the wharf, the fresh sea breeze mixed with a slight salty taste, fishermen eat the sea by the sea, the fishing boats with slight vicissitudes on the wharf seem to be telling the story of fishermen struggling in the sea. There are also dense holes in the beach beside the wharf. Look carefully at the original crab holes. Look carefully, there are many small crabs crawling around. It's better to say that they are rolling. It's very interesting. I can't help recalling the happy memories of catching crabs with my grandmother on the beach near Gulangyu Gusheng Road 20 years ago. It was fun to catch crabs on the beach after the ebb tide. Nowadays, due to the development reasons, no crabs can be caught on the beach (near the present Inner Mongolian Wharf), but on Haimen Island, I have picked up crabs as a child again. The memory of crab. Apart from the seaside, the ancient houses on the island are also worth savouring. Most of the ancient houses on the island were built in the Qing Dynasty. They are the traditional architectural style of southern Fujian with red brick swallow-tail Saddle Ridge and have a simple aesthetic feeling. Stopping in the deep alley, as if returning to the fishing village life in the past, there is no noise, no noise, to find a rare calm. As a former Islander of Gulangyu, walking on the island made me unconsciously compare Haimen Island with Gulangyu Island. Although the island has not been exploited and is unknown, on the other hand, it has avoided the erosion of commercialization and retained the original appearance and unique tranquility of the fishing village. Perhaps it is also a kind of luck for the island. I miss the time before Gulangyu was overexploited 20 years ago. After a tour of the island, because it was too late, he set out to return to Xiamen, ending his unforgettable trip to Haimen Island.

    There are two villages in Haimen Island, Haishan Village with mangroves and Haiping Village with small beaches. There is almost no development. Usually the pressure of work is high. It's not nice to take the whole family to step on the earth, eat seafood, fish and blow the sea breeze.

    Haimen Island is located under the Xiamen Bridge and belongs to the jurisdiction of the Floating Palace Town. The scenery is very beautiful, at the beach and the seafood is also very good. There are many seafood restaurants here, which are very authentic.
