The original appearance of Chiwan Village
This is the original appearance of the village before the reform and opening up of Chiwan Village in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. The village is located in the southwest area of Shekou, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing Lingling Island, north of Xiaonan Mountain, east and west sides of the Lion Mountain and Niuyang Mountain each have an ancient fort, (once built by the great historical hero Lin Zexu during the Opium War, the right battery has been destroyed without a trace, the left battery has only left traces of the barracks where the soldiers stayed, and the Mazu Temple of Tianhou Temple and the Tomb of Emperor Song Shao have become the attractions of worship and tourism today). At that time, there were only about 20 families in the village, and there was an east-west street in the village, and the back window of the houses of the residents on the south side of the street was the beach by the sea. In 1979, there was a wave of smuggling and fleeing, and the villagers of the village were also involved in the whirlpool 🌀 of smuggling and fleeing to Hong Kong, and overnight, except for a few households with elderly people left behind, most of the residents locked their doors, and the whole family smuggled them to Hong Kong by boat. At that time, I was the platoon leader of the troops at the foot of the mountain north of the village (Tianhou Temple Mazu Temple), and when I went to the village to check, there were only a few old people left.... Nowadays, in addition to the outline of the small South Mountain near the village, the left fortress of Yingzui Mountain and the Mazu Temple of Tianhou Temple are still displayed here, there is no more impression of the original Chiwan... With the development of Shenzhen metropolis, Chiwan Village is not only bustling with traffic and high-rise buildings, but also has the world-famous chiwan grand port in the logistics industry, Shekou Cruise Center, where you can take a cruise ship to see the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Sea Bridge at close range. ......
