JiangxinYu island has been a famous scenic spot in Wenzhou since ancient times, with many places of interest and historical sites.
Jiangxin Temple
It was built in the seventh year of Song Shaoxing (1137 AD) by the Zen master Qing (Zhen Xie). The current isolated island was originally divided into two small islands, east and west, with pagodas and pagoda courtyards built on it.
The existing Jiangxin Temple was rebuilt in the 54th year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1789), with an area of about 2870 square meters, divided into three halls: front, middle and rear. The front hall is the Vajra Hall, with a long corridor in the east and west, and bell and drum towers at both ends. Ancient bells of the present Song Dynasty still exist. The nave is the main hall, and the statue of Shakyamuni is enshrined in the hall. The three holy temples of the apse, the temple and the couplet are all written by Master Hongyi.
Among them, the most famous is that on both sides of the gate of the temple there is a stacked character link entitled "Yun Dynasty It was rewritten by the calligrapher Fang Jie kan in orthography. In 1983, it was listed as one of the 142 key monasteries opened to the outside world in the country.
East and West Two Towers
The East Pagoda was built in the tenth year of Tang Xiantong (869), and it is said that it was built in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty (969), which was destroyed by war and rebuilt in the tenth year of Shaoxing of the Southern Song Dynasty (1141). Yuan Zhizheng, Ming Wanli, and Qing Qianlong have been rebuilt many times. The tower is 28 meters high, the bottom diameter is more than 8 meters, 6 sides and 7 floors, and the green brick enclosure is built. In the past, there were flat seats, railings and eaves on the periphery, and there were escalators straight up to the top of the tower, overlooking the surging Oujiang River and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lucheng. In the second year of the Qing Dynasty (1876), the "Sino-British Yantai Treaty" was signed, and Wenzhou was opened as a commercial port. The Construction of the British Consulate in Wenzhou began in 1894 at the foot of the East Tower Hill and was inaugurated the following year. Under the pretext of the need for guard work, the British forced the wenzhou local authorities to demolish the cornices inside and outside the East Tower, leaving the hollow and roofless tower. At the top of the tower, a banyan tree more than 100 years old naturally grows, cultivated without soil, rooted in the tower, evergreen all year round, which is a spectacle. Today, the pagoda is still majestic, like a historical monument that has endured wind and frost and experienced vicissitudes, standing on the top of the East Peak.
The West Pagoda was built in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty (969), and it is said that it was built in the tenth year of Tang Xiantong (869), and the Ming and Qing dynasties repaired it many times. The tower is 32 meters high, 7 meters in diameter, 6-sided, 7-storey, hollow, and a pavilion-style green brick imitation wood structure. In the distance, the blue water and blue sky, the fully green Xifeng Mountain supports a brick red pagoda, and the pagoda brakes straight into the clouds, which is spectacular. Nearby, the river breeze blew the copper wind chimes of the forty-two cornices, and the crisp chirping of the branches and birds around them symphonized. Each floor of the tower has a small Buddha shrine on each side, built-in stone carved Buddha statues, exquisite shape, natural look, has a high artistic value, around the tower bluestone bench, ten thousand wood support, quiet and quiet, attracting people's reverie. Due to the tilt of the tower, it was overhauled in 1982. The present pagoda still maintains the style of the Song Dynasty.
Song Wenxin Guo Gong (文天祥) Ancestral Hall
It is located on the east side of Jiangxin Temple. In the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1276), Wen Tianxiang escaped from danger and came to Wen on the way from the escort of the Yuan Soldiers, and stayed at the Zhongchuan Temple, composing the poem "North Return to Zhongchuan Temple". In the eighteenth year of Emperor Mingxian's reign (1482), the cave was built to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the national hero's righteousness. The original stone statue of Wen Tianxiang and the inscription of famous poems in the ancestral hall were later destroyed, and only the Inscription of the Statue of the Duke of Song Wenxin guo by Qin Ying of the Qing Dynasty remains. Renovated in 1981, the cloister is inlaid with "Zhengyi Song" and 20 pieces of posterity inscriptions with hanging poems, and there are Lianyun: Lonely Island from Zhongchuan, the passing water is difficult to extinguish the hatred of the country; the revered words are enough for thousands of years, and the heroic wind is still angry.
Haoran Building
Located on the east side of the Wenxin GuoGong Ancestral Hall, it was built in the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty (1580). The building is a wooden structure with three bays and heavy eaves on the top of the mountain, with a unique shape. The name of the building is taken from the word "Haoran" in Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi". In the fifty-ninth year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1794), the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran once traveled to Jiangxinyu and changed his name to Meng Lou. When it was rebuilt in the first year of Guangxu (1875), it was still renamed Haoran Building. Climbing the tower, you can see the giant wheels and small sails on the OuJiang River, as well as the scales and persimmon houses in the city, the haitan and the cuiwei mountains, and you can see it in an unobstructed view.

Orchid Island
Taiwan is an island, Lanyu is an island outside the island, this outlying island that Taiwanese do not often go, with clearer waters than Kenting, with the most primitive scenery, is the filming location of Ang Lee's movie "The Fantasy Drifting of young pi".
Located in the east of Taiwan, Orchid Island is a small island with a radius of 45 square kilometers, with undulating hills and strange rocks along the coast, with different shapes. Coconut wind banana rain, a tropical scenery.
In Lanyu Island, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery of blue sky and blue sea, volcanic rocks, rolling hills and strange rocks, you can also feel the unique folk culture.

In the activities of the major settlements, the respected and have the right to speak is almost the elders of the settlements, and the township chiefs usually only attend as VIPs; that is, because the settlements in Lanyu still retain the right to autonomy, the cultural and folk particularities of each settlement are retained, and even the customs and characteristics of each settlement have different customs and characteristics.
Unique flying fish culture
Every year from April to August of the lunar calendar is the Lanyu Flying Fish Festival, a kind of festival of the Dawu people, praying for a fruitful catch, peace and happiness. Whenever the Flying Fish Festival is held, the natives of Dawu go out to sea in a homemade wooden boat to catch flying fish.
Flying fish is the most important food of the Lanyu people (Yamei/Dawu people). Rice is not produced locally, so taro is the main staple food. Taro with flying fish is the standard on the table of Lanyu people.
Catching flying fish is the core of the traditional culture of the Yami/Dawu people of Lanyu. Every spring, the flying fish population will follow the black tide to the waters near Lanyu Island, at which time the Lanyu people will hold a fish festival (MIVANWA) to attract flying fish, and the flying fish season begins.
Lanyu's flying fish season can be divided into three stages: flying fish collection festival, flying fish collection festival, flying fish final food festival, from February to March every year to september flying fish final food festival can be said to be the flying fish season, which is in the spring and summer, suitable for going to sea, flying fish and dried flying fish for this period of Lanyu Island main food.
Lanyu people divide fish into three categories: old man fish, man fish, and woman fish. Elderly fish are fish that only the elderly can eat, men's fish finger thick skin, fleshy fish species, usually only for men to eat; women's fish is a delicious, delicate fish. In fact, not only fish, but also crabs have this classification pattern, such as the bare-handed chieftain crab (Eriphia sebana) in Orchid Island, only the elderly and women can eat.
Every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yamei people forbid the consumption of flying fish, and the dried flying fish that cannot be eaten is hung on the firewood shelf next to the house for pigs and dogs to eat, and is not discarded at will, expressing respect for flying fish.
But with the spread of modernization, the island's young people have lost much of their traditions. Dried flying fish that have not been eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival can still be eaten, and few people can accurately say which are men's fish and which are women's fish.
