Xiatanwei Mangrove Forest Ecological Park Boardwalk
The winding walks of the sea offer sweeping views
Autumn eggplant, paulownia tree, wood olive, white bone soil, petalless sea mulberry, etc. born of the sea, the mangrove forest is continuous, the birds such as egrets roost in the mangrove forest, flying and dancing, and the tidal crab probe probes the brain at low tide, which is not comfortable. The 4.2-kilometer-long boardwalk winds its way to the sea, and the "Sea Forest" is within reach, so that such a comfortable life is in the Xiatanwei Mangrove Ecological Park.
Xiatanwei Mangrove Ecological Park is located on both sides of the Torch Bridge in Xiang'an District, which was once a silt mudflat, and disorderly marine aquaculture has destroyed the ecological environment here. Unexpectedly, the former beach has "grown" out of a "sea forest". At present, the mangrove forests that have been planted have grown well, including white bone soil, paulownia trees, autumn eggplant, olive, red sea olive, sea nut fruit, rat and other varieties, which have become the favorite homes of various benthic organisms and seabirds, and biodiversity has been restored.
It is understood that before the Spring Festival last year, the construction of the 1.8-kilometer south bank boardwalk was completed. After its completion, the wooden boardwalk has become a good place for many citizens to travel leisurely. Walking on the boardwalk, the mangroves are close at hand, and when the tide is high, it is like going to the end of the sea, and at low tide you can see energetic intertidal creatures such as crabs and jumping fish. If the public is tired of walking, they can also rest on the viewing platforms such as the platform, the Qingyin platform and the bird watching tower.
It is reported that the construction of the entire park is currently progressing steadily, and it is expected to be completed in June this year, when it will become the largest artificial reconstructed mangrove ecological park in the province.
