Lucheng Glimpse (9): Dongtou Little Erhai Lake

Dongtou is one of the 14 island districts and counties in China, known as "Hundred Islands Dongtou" and "Pearl of the East China Sea". Among them, Dongtou Island, Damen Island, Banping Island, Lingkun Island, Huagang Island, and Zhongyu Island are relatively large islands that can be reached by car, eliminating the hassle of taking a boat, which is convenient for children and the elderly. Several large islands in Dongtou are located in the offshore area, basically, you can feel the slightly salty sea breeze as soon as you come back from the hustle and bustle of the city. The scenic spot, known as "Little Erhai Lake", is actually called Zhongyu Scenic Area, which is not on Dongtou Island, but on Zhongyu Island between Shajiao Village and Huagang Bridge. There is a Tianhou Temple at the entrance of the scenic area, and a statue of Tianhou stands in the Mazu Culture Square next to it, with a kind face, full of deep affection, looking at the sea.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Walking inside, you can see a very characteristic colorful breakwater, with English road signs, hearts, and other creative props on the nearly 1,000-meter breakwater, with the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea as the background, capturing everyone in every corner of the "Little Erhai Lake". The scenic area has opened up a small beach, the sand is very fine, and it is no problem for children to dig sand and play here. In addition, there are some paid items that are quite suitable for children: water park, pedal boat, small train...‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Little Erhai Lake is also the best place to shoot Huagang Village on the opposite side, where there are hundreds of "tiger skin" stone buildings, and the construction time can be traced back to the 1950s and 1960s. Before leaving Little Erhai Lake, it is recommended to visit Huagang Village, where you can eat the freshest seafood. Little Erhai Lake Scenic Area
