What travelers say:

On Baishi Street, before the Opium War, many foreign ships had been moored in the sea of Venus Gate on Qiao Island. In October 1833, a serious conflict between the foreign opium crew and the villagers of Qi'ao Village occurred. Foreign opium traffickers organized more than ten armed chopping boards and opened fire on Qi'ao Village. This is the first time in the Opium War, the Chinese people spontaneously resisted the aggression of foreign colonialists on a large scale and earlier, it is eight years earlier than the struggle against Britain in Guangzhou Sanyuanli, and it occupies an important position in the history of modern China-foreign relations. The village still retains the headquarters of the aggressors, the Temple of Tianhou and the Fort, which the people of Qiao Island defeated the invaded colonial invaders in 1833 with a dauntless spirit, forcing them to surrender and compensate for three thousand silver. In order to let future generations remember this glorious history of the Yanhuang children and grandchildren to resist foreign aggression to win, the local villagers inspired future generations to love their motherland more, and built a 2-kilometer-long granite "Baishi Street" with compensation, which is currently well preserved on the island.
