The Ark of the Sea Silk sails on a new path
In January, hailing island is beautiful, and there is a huge "Crystal Palace" lying across the Ten Mile Silver Beach, which is the Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum. In the Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum, the world's first overall salvage of the 800-year-old Southern Song Dynasty ancient shipwreck "Nanhai I" is quietly "lying" here. This is the earliest shipwreck discovered on the mainland so far, with the largest hull, the largest total amount of cultural relics and the most complete preservation, with a total of more than 180,000 cultural relics unearthed.
In the exhibition hall covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters, seven theme exhibition areas such as sails, sinking, exploration, water, value, relics and achievements are exhibiting the precious cultural relics of "Nanhai I", including exotic gold jewelry, simple and elegant Chinese ceramics, and extremely rare Song Dynasty lacquerware, showing the prosperous overseas trade system of the Song Dynasty on the mainland.
Precious historical relics, together with the long and tortuous Maritime Silk Road, have penetrated thousands of years of time and been remembered in the magnificent annals of the Chinese nation, becoming a bright pearl of Yangjiang Haisi culture. Its excavations have filled the gap in the study of the Silk Road in the South China Sea, re-emerging on the international stage of this ancient ship that has been sleeping on the seabed for nearly a thousand years, and set a model for Underwater Archaeology in China. The Work Report of the Guangdong Provincial Government proposes to strengthen the protection and inheritance of history and culture, strengthen the construction of archaeology with Lingnan characteristics, improve the level of protection and utilization of "Nanhai I", and accelerate the creation of a world-class archaeological brand.

Recently, Guangdong HaiSiGuan has obtained exchange intentions with relevant cultural units in Malaysia, and will bring the "Nanhai I" cultural exhibition activities to Malaysia through online activities during the Spring Festival, and plans to further promote them to Singapore and other places.
Yangjiang continues to polish the business card of Haisi culture, and the Guangdong Underwater Cultural Heritage Protection Center has added wings to haisi culture to the world. The provincial government work report proposes to improve the level of development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries, and accelerate the construction of landmark cultural projects such as the Guangdong Underwater Cultural Heritage Center.
On December 28, 2021, the guangdong underwater cultural heritage protection center project began, located on the west side of the Maritime Silk Road Museum, with a total investment of about 350 million yuan. He Jingtang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the South China University of Technology Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., said that the conservation center takes the design concept of "Hai silk ark and dream QiYangjiang" as the design concept, drawing inspiration from Yangjiang's long-standing marine culture and extracting elements from the profound characteristics of hai silk. The design respects the existing sites and buildings, integrates into the terrain of mountains and seas, extracts cultural elements with Yangjiang marine characteristics such as waves and silk nets, forms an overall shape with beautiful shapes and rich spaces, forms an underwater cultural heritage archaeological platform and tourist resort with guangdong Haisi Pavilion that coordinates and integrates the two museums, with a mixture of charm and charm, organic harmony, and creates a research center for the protection of underwater heritage that integrates research, exhibition and education, which will promote the development of underwater heritage protection and characteristic tourism.

The provincial party committee and the provincial government have set goals, the Yangjiang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have gone all out, and the Ark of Haisi Culture is setting sail and shining brightly in the four seas.
Ancient rhymes and modern styles blend to compose new songs
Yangjiang is located on the route of the ancient and modern Maritime Silk Road, and has become a rare supply station, transit station and distribution center on the South China Sea waterway, and many excellent ports have been born. The "Yangjiang Chronicle" records that in history, there are seven famous ports in Yangjiang, including Da'ao Port, Dongping Port, Beijin Port, Jianchuan'ao (now Zhapo Port), Xitou Port, Fengtou Port, and Shuangyu Port.

The Tai O fishing village, also home to the ancient port, has now become a rural tourist destination. At the northeast end of the main street, there is a memorial arch with the words "Tai O". A series of white brick and green tile fishermen's houses stand quietly on both sides of the street. Walking on the bluestone slab street of Tai O Fishing Village, the profound cultural charm of the fishing village greets you. Looking up, the blue water, the moored boats, and the fishermen leaning in front of the door to repair their nets constitute a unique fisherman's scene.
Due to the prosperity of commerce, the Greater Australian Chamber of Commerce was also established here, and the original site of the Chamber of Commerce was hidden among the fishermen's houses. The entire chamber of commerce building is not only beautiful in shape, but also has a thick wall and is surrounded by gun holes, which can be used as bunkers.
