This article is specially produced by Zhaoqing City Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau and Zhaoqing Wanda National Resort. As one of the most open and economically vigorous regions in China, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area accounts for nearly 12% of the country’s GDP on 0.6% of the country’s land and with less than 5% of the country’s population, which is really eye-catching. . (Overlooking the high-rise buildings in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area; the picture below is Hong Kong, China, photographer @吴亦丹) The 11 cities that make up the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau, also have important responsibilities, and the future is limitless. However, among these cities, there is one city that is easily overlooked. It is Zhaoqing. (Please watch it horizontally, Zhaoqing city is beautiful, the river is passing by, photographer @罗炳昆) From the map, Zhaoqing, which is “protruding”, is like the “horns” of the Greater Bay Area, most of which are “isolated”. (The scope of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, mapping @泰山&杨宁/Planet Research Institute) From an economic point of view, its GDP ranks at the bottom of the 11 cities in the Greater Bay Area, and it has a long way to go in the future. (Indicated by GDP data of 11 cities in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 2020, mapping@杨宁/Planet Research Institute) What are the characteristics of Zhaoqing? Why is it included in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area? When you walk into this land, you will find that Zhaoqing is full of characteristics: it occupies nearly 27% of the super large area of ​​the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with the power of a city, and the development space is quite broad; (Zhaoqing Deqing Sanyuan Tower, which has a history of 400 years, is still as bright as before in the green mountains and green waters, photographer @卢文) In the long river of years, it not only shines in Guangdong and Guangxi regions many times, but also one of the birthplaces of Lingnan culture; (Zhaoqing is also the place where the first inkstone of the four famous inkstones in China is produced. The picture below shows the Duan stone inkstone bestowed by Emperor Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. Photographer @柳叶阪，設图@杨宁/星星研究) Especially the natural environment here, which integrates canyons, waterfalls, karst caves, and wetlands, ranks first among many cities in the Greater Bay Area with a forest coverage rate of 70.5%. It is called the most “beautiful” boy in the Greater Bay Area. (During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhaoqing’s “Seven Star Rocks” was already a well-known tourist attraction, photographer @李琼) 01 Lock Dajiang Zhaoqing, located in the west of Guangdong, is located in the Lingnan Mountains. Its overall terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. (The topography and administrative division of Zhaoqing City, mapping @泰山&杨宁/Planet Research Institute) Located in the north of Zhaoqing, Da Chou Ding, with an elevation of 1,626 meters, is the highest peak in the city; (Clouds and mist around the top of the big thick top, photographer @李世昌) Beiling Mountain, located in the south-central part of Zhaoqing, is the main mountain in Duanzhou District, the center of the city. The highest peak is only more than 800 meters above sea level; (北岭山云海, photographer @吴勇强) The section of Beiling Mountain extending to the northeast is called Dinghu Mountain, with Jilong Mountain as the highest peak, 1000.3 meters above sea level, which is one of the four famous mountains in Guangdong. (The wooded Dinghu Mountain is known as “Natural Oxygen Bar”, photographer @吴宇航) In addition, there are countless mountainous hills such as Antelope Mountain, Lanke Mountain, and Guiding Mountain. They surround Zhaoqing and occupy 80% of the city’s total area. As a result, Zhaoqing has become a “mountain” world. (Please watch horizontally, the continuous peaks in Huaiji, Zhaoqing, photographer @李世昌) Among the mountains, a large river splits the mountains and opens the ridges, breaking through layers of encirclement, allowing the inside and outside of Zhaoqing to be connected. It is the Xijiang River. (Zhaoqing Yanzhou Island, with Xijiang on both sides, photographer @吴勇强) The Xijiang River originates from the Maxiong Mountain in Yunnan and winds 2214 kilometers towards the South China Sea. It is the main stream of the Pearl River, the fourth longest river in China. (Please watch it horizontally. The different sections of the main stream of the Xijiang River are called Nanpan River, Hongshui River, Qianjiang River, and Xunjiang River. It was not called “Xijiang” until Wuzhou, Guangxi; the following picture is a schematic diagram of the Pearl River system, drawing @泰山/星星研究Place) The mountains in Zhaoqing are the last barrier that Xijiang needs to break through before going out of the mountains into the sea. The river flows all the way to the east, at the confluence tributary of Fengkai, Hejiang, and rolled forward with Beijiang at Sihui, but at the junction of Gaoyao District and Duanzhou District, it suddenly rushes in a “U” shape, forming a flanking attack with the mountains on both sides of the bank. The momentum created the majestic “Xijiang Small Three Gorges.” (The location of “Xijiang Small Three Gorges”, drawing @泰山&杨宁/Planet Research Institute) Sanrong Gorge is formed by Beiling Mountain and Gecai Mountain, Dadingxia is formed by Guiding Mountain and Jiangjunding, and Antelope Gorge is formed by locking Antelope Mountain and Lanke Mountain. Every flood season, the river runs through the gorge like a thousand horses, (三榕峡, photographer @卢文) The large amount of sediment carried by the river water is deposited on the shore when the flow rate slows down, and accumulates into a plain inside the “U” shape, which is the central area of ​​Zhaoqing. (Please watch horizontally, panoramic view of Duanzhou District, Zhaoqing, photographer @黄珀恒) Before the Tang Dynasty, the north branch of the ancient Xijiang River once flowed through the middle of the plain and merged with the current Xijiang River into the main Xijiang Road. Later, due to long-term siltation, it ceased activities, leaving behind a lake and pond swamp that was more than 10 kilometers long from east to west, which was called Lihu in ancient times. . Although Li Lake has long been excavated and renovated, there are still ponds such as Shiyan Pond, Dongwang Pond, Zhuwen Pond, as well as Lake Banyue Lake, Xinghu Lake, and Fairy Lake. Among them, Xinghu Lake is the largest and has the largest water storage capacity. Up to 12.5 million cubic meters, about the size of a West Lake. So far, this piece of land that controls Dajiang has taken shape. (Please watch it horizontally, Zhaoqing Star Lake is composed of Central Lake, Bohai Lake and other lakes; the picture below shows the beautiful scenery of the lake in Zhaoqing City, photographer @梁亮) But the power of “Jiangshan” is much more than that. The continuous Nanling is like a barrier, resisting the invasion of cold air masses from the south, and engulfing the warm and humid air from the north into the arms. With the influence of factors such as its location at low latitudes, Zhaoqing has mild four seasons and abundant precipitation. (Dinghushan Feishuitan is also known as Longtan Feishui Waterfall, photographer @李广宇) Under the cutting and dissolution of flowing water, the contiguous limestone mountains have formed many strange peaks and caves. There are hundreds of caves in Yanyan in Huaiji, Zhaoqing. (Huaiji Yanyan, photographer @李世昌) The Qixing Rock standing above the Xinghu Lake is composed of 7 limestone peaks arranged in Langfeng Rock, Yuping Rock, Shishi Rock, Tianzhu Rock, Toad Rock, Xianzhang Rock, and Apo Rock. Such as knife cutting, the internal karst caves are relatively well developed, and there are many stone pillars, stalagmites, and mantles, which are magnificent. (Shishiyan reflected in the star lake, photographer @吴勇强) At the same time, a suitable climate gave birth to abundant vegetation. Dinghushan Nature Reserve, located in Dinghu District, Zhaoqing, is the first national nature reserve in New China. More than 2,000 species of higher plants are distributed in it, accounting for about 1/3 of the province. (There are also 30 species of plants in Dinghu Mountain directly named after Dinghu, all of which were first discovered and recorded here. The picture below is Dinghu Rhododendron, photographer @宋柱秋) The diverse environment provides a comfortable home for the animals. Up to now, Zhaoqing has maintained nearly 200 species of birds. There are also national key protected wild animals, such as civets and leopard cats, among the mountains and forests. There are nearly a hundred species of fish wandering in the vast waters. (The white pheasant was selected as the provincial bird of Guangdong in 1988. The following picture shows the white pheasant on Dinghu Mountain, photographer @梁亮) With lush greenery and rich products, this treasure land also attracts the arrival of mankind, and the “Jiangshan” of Zhaoqing will also bring new opportunities here. 02 Poly Hub In 214 BC, Emperor Qin Shihuang first established Sihui County in the Sihui County of Zhaoqing, one of the four earliest established counties in Guangdong Province. At the same time, the central area of ​​Zhaoqing now has its first historical record due to the mouth of the Antelope Gorge. An opportunity. The Antelope Gorge is surrounded by lofty mountains to the west, and the vast Pearl River Delta to the east. It is the only place where the middle and upper reaches of the Xijiang River go to sea. (The Antelope Gorge Canyon stretches for nearly 8 kilometers, photographer @梁志锋) Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty intended to “hold the high points” and set up Gaoyao County here as a military hub in Lingnan with troops. (The realm has undergone several changes since the establishment of the county in Gaoyao; the picture below shows the current Gaoyao District, photographer @李琼) In 211 A.D., General Sun Wu (zhì) led 20,000 navy troops and Cangwu prefect Wu Juyu’s tribe in a battle; In 879, the Huangchao Rebels in the late Tang captured Guangzhou and traveled north through this place; in 1277, Yuan Bing Repeatedly competed with the Song army for Zhaoqing Mansion; in 1448, the peasant uprising army and the Ming army fought at the Antelope Gorge; in 1646, Nanming Zhu Youlang proclaimed himself emperor in Zhaoqing and became the last emperor of Nanming… (Zhu Youlang ascended the throne in Liqiao Tower in Zhaoqing, Zhu Youlang is Emperor Yongli, photographer @莫建红) While this place is a military powerhouse, its political status has also become more prominent: Gaoyao County was established in the Southern Liang, and Duanzhou was established in the Sui Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, after Zhao Ji was named the “King of Duan”, he accidentally assumed the throne as Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The prefecture was changed to Zhaoqing Prefecture, which means “beginning auspicious celebration”. (The name of Zhaoqing has been in use for more than 900 years; the picture below is the north gate of Zhaoqing’s “Song City Wall”, photographer @李琼) In 1564 AD, the Governor’s Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi also entered Zhaoqing, making it the political center of Guangdong and Guangxi for a total of 182 years. However, in addition to the military hub, benefiting from the benefits of Xijiang, this land has become more powerful as a hub. First, it is the center of population gathering. The Nanling, which traverses the northern part of Guangdong and Guangxi, is a natural barrier between the north and the south, and the tributary of the Xijiang River that winds through it is an important channel connecting the north and the south. (The location of Nanling and related ancient roads is shown, among which Wuling is the main part of the Nanling Mountains, mapping @泰山&杨宁/Planet Research Institute) In 214 BC, Emperor Qin Shihuang used one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians to build a canal between Xiangjiang, a tributary of the Yangtze River and Lijiang, a tributary of the Xijiang River. This 37-kilometer-long artificial canal actually connected the Yangtze River system and the Pearl River system. decline. The Xiaohe Ancient Road that crosses the Viet Nam Ridge connecting the Xiaoshui tributary of the Xiangjiang River and the Hejiang tributary of the Xijiang River, and the Fanyue Ridge formed after the Tang Dynasty, and the Meiguan Ancient Road that connects the Ganjiang tributary of the Yangtze River and the Beijiang tributary of the Pearl River, etc., all let Lingnan area and Communication between the Central Plains is more convenient. (Meiguan Road, photographer @陈彦) As a result, Zhaoqing, which is close to the Li River and at the intersection of the He River, Xijiang River, and Beijiang River, has become one of the gathering places of immigrants several times. Immigrants from the Central Plains entered Lingnan via waterways, bringing in the production technology of Central Plains, and jointly developing land with local residents, and a large number of villages were formed. (Chenghu Village, Zhaoqing, photographer @黄珀恒) Second, it is the center of commercial transportation. As the big river second only to the Yangtze River in terms of water volume, the Xijiang River has abundant flow, wide basin area and long navigation mileage. Goods from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and western Guangdong can reach Guangzhou via Zhaoqing. (Please watch it horizontally, there are still cargo ships in Xijiang today, photographer @吴勇强) In 110 BC, the second year after the county was established in Gaoyao, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Yanguan in Gaoyao, one of the only two Yanguans in Lingnan. At that time, the salt transportation inside and outside the Pearl River Estuary was too high to reach the Xijiang River Basin and nearby areas, and the silk produced in the Central Plains also reached Guangzhou via Gaoyao, so Zhaoqing gradually became the center of salt transportation in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River in the Han Dynasty, and the Maritime Silk Road Extension on land. (Look at the Xijiang River from the Fengkai Guangxin Tower in Zhaoqing, where there used to be busy water transportation in ancient times, source of image @视中国) During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, thanks to the increasing number of local specialties, the number of passengers and goods distributed in Zhaoqing increased day by day. The goods shipped downstream were mainly grain, ore, bamboo, and wood, and the goods shipped upstream were mainly salt and various handicrafts. . (Zhaoqing’s flower mat weaving technology has been passed down to this day, photographer @何异能) Among them, the locally produced rain caps are well-known in Southeast Asia, and the exquisitely woven flower seats are expensive, and the special carp Wenqing carp and Maixi carp, which are famous for their smooth flesh and soft bones, are even more popular. (Wenqing carp and Maixi carp are still specialty products of Zhaoqing; the picture below shows Zhaoqing fishermen are fishing Maixi carp, photographer @梁亮) The prosperity of water transportation on the West River has supported Zhaoqing as a water transportation hub for hundreds of years and ushered in a golden age of economic development. According to records, at that time, cargo ships in Zhaoqing were moving between each other, and the sails were like weaving, which was extremely lively. “At that time, commercial transportation and entertainment for relatives and friends were centered on Zhaoqing, and they all communicated with each other, all holding sailing boats, so that the shores were anchored, and the sails were like weaving…” (From “Gaoyao County Annals”) Finally, it is the center of cultural fusion. The establishment of government offices, the concentration of population, the development of transportation, and the prosperity of economy have made Zhaoqing one of the earliest areas where the Central Plains culture and Lingnan culture, Western culture and traditional Chinese culture intersect. Among them, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put down Lingnan, the Jiao n Office, Guangxin, was set up to supervise the nine prefectures. It was located at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, including the Fengkai of Zhaoqing today. (The “n” that crosses the n part passes through the “toe”. The picture below shows the location of the nine prefectures in the south of the Western Han Dynasty, drawing by @泰山&杨宁/Planet Research Institute) As the political center of Lingnan at that time, Guangxin accepted a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains. They merged with the local aboriginal culture and formed the embryonic form of Cantonese culture, one of the traditional cultures of Guangdong today. (The Wok Ear House in Wentang Ancient Village, Zhaoqing, is one of the representatives of Cantonese cultural and architectural style, photographer @谢厚灿) Thanks to this, Zhaoqing’s Fengkai also became “prosperous” early, and Han culture became popular and talented people appeared in large numbers. In the Western Han Dynasty, Chen Qin, Chen Yuan and his sons who were sealed off in Zhaoqing pioneered the study of Lingnan Classics; in the Tang and Song Dynasties, 27 scholars and more than 100 scholars came out here. Among them, Mo Xuanqing, who was only 17 years old, was the youngest in China’s imperial examination era. The champion. (“Jingxue” refers to the study of the Six Classics in ancient China; the picture below is Mo Xuanqing Scholar’s Temple, photographer @梁亮) At the same time, there are also Duan inkstones produced in Lanke Mountain, Zhaoqing. It is made of fine stones such as Laokeng Rock and Kengzai Rock through more than 10 fine processes. It is a royal tribute of the past dynasties. It was exported to various places through the Xijiang River and gradually became famous all over the world. (Part of Duan Yan’s work “The Way of Heaven” designed by Guan Honghui, a master of arts and crafts in Guangdong Province, photographer @何异能) During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Matteo Ricci, who was known as the first person to communicate Chinese and Western cultures, landed in Zhaoqing by boat from Macau along the Xijiang River. With the help of Zhaoqing’s prefect Wang Pan (pàn), he drew China’s first Chinese world map― -“The Complete Map of Mountains, Seas, and Earth” has made China take an extremely important step in understanding the world. (“The Complete Map of Mountains, Seas, and Earth”, image source @Wikimedia Commons, mapping @杨宁/Planet Research Institute) So far, the hub function of Zhaoqing has created cultural prosperity for this place, and their influence still affects Zhaoqing, shaping its uniqueness and beauty. 03 Passing the Ages Zhaoqing’s glorious past may have long been forgotten, but Mo Xuanqing, who was born in Fengkai, Zhaoqing, ignited the hope of countless Lingnan students through his 17-year-old high school champion. To this day, there are still tens of thousands of people visiting his former residence. The incense candles filled with the scholar’s temple tell the dream of generations of scholars. (Mo Xuanqing’s birthday event is full of people, photographer @谢厚灿) Located in Baishi Village in Duanzhou, Zhaoqing, the villagers have been making inkstone for a living since the Tang Dynasty. The Duan inkstone culture has been inherited throughout the village for more than 1,300 years. Today, more than 90% of families are still engaged in inkstone making. (Villagers in Baishi Village are carving Duanyan, photographer @ RA光) The traditional folk dance “Five Horse Tour of the City” performed in Feng Kai Nian Nian is based on the story of the Northern Song Dynasty general Di Qing defending the city. It represents the age of the land and is included in the intangible cultural heritage of Guangdong. Entered the Shanghai World Expo in 2010. (Five-horse patrol dance performed in the ancient city of Fengkai, photographer @谢厚灿) There are also dragon boat races that have been passed down because of the accessibility of waterways in the past, the ancient bamboo paper craftsmanship that has continued to this day because of the abundant bamboos in Sihui, and the ocean basket industry that has flourished since the Qing Dynasty due to the exquisite weaving skills. (Please watch it horizontally, Zhaoqing Jinli Dragon Boat Race, the scene is very lively, photographer @吴勇强) In addition, Zhaoqing still retains more than 290 ancient buildings and historical memorial buildings, and more than 150 national, provincial and county-level cultural relics protection units. Located on Mei’an Hill, Mei’an is one of the oldest surviving wooden structures in Guangdong. According to legend, Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor of Zen, planted plums in the place where Mei’an was when he was practicing in the Sihui and Huaiji refuge in Zhaoqing. (Mei An was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, photographer @李琼) Qingyun Temple, located on Dinghu Mountain, was built in the Ming Dynasty, shaped like a lotus flower, and is one of the four famous temples in Lingnan. (The couplet at the gate of Qingyun Temple is “Lianhua calendar, the first place of fragrant fragrance, cloud liquid and spring resounding Wanfeng”, the whole view of Qingyun Temple, photographer @龚跃贤&梁亮) The Chongxi Pagoda on the bank of the Xijiang River is a pavilion-style brick and wood structure in the Ming Dynasty. Wind chimes are hung from the eaves of each octagonal pagoda. When the river breeze hits, the bell sounds everywhere. (Chongxi Tower, photographer @吴宇航) Located in the Bagua Village in Gaoyao, Zhaoqing, the village was built in the early Ming Dynasty. The villages are distributed according to “Bagua” and have full characteristics. (Bagua Village, photographer @周伟东) The Song City Wall built in Duanzhou not only retains the brick wall that was repaired during the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and the Republic of China, but also the only well-preserved Song Dynasty brick wall in Guangdong. The Cloud Tower stands on the city wall. “Up and down piles of green, red walls and red tiles.” (Piyunlou, photographer @ RA光) What is even more shocking is that the Seven Star Rock, praised by literati and writers such as Bao Zheng, Su Shi, Tang Xianzu, Guo Moruo, etc., has more than 500 cliff rock carvings from the Tang Dynasty to the present, and it is also known as the “Poem of the Thousand Years.” gallery”. (Among the stone carvings, the “Story of the Stone Chamber of Duanzhou” by Li Yong, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, is the most famous. The picture below is a cliff carving in Zhaoqing, photographer @何异能) This kind of Zhaoqing is simple and heavy, and in the new era, can Zhaoqing’s “Jiangshan” create a new look? 04 New Opportunities In 2016, the state clearly proposed the establishment of a world-class urban agglomeration-the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. As a member of the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone, Zhaoqing is listed as one of the 11 cities in the Greater Bay Area. (Green mountains and green waters in downtown Zhaoqing, photographer @吴勇强) Compared with other cities, although Zhaoqing is the farthest from the sea, it also has unique advantages. First of all, in terms of location, Zhaoqing, which is “extraordinarily prominent” in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, is the only city in the Greater Bay Area that closely borders Guangxi. Not only has the province’s longest high-speed rail mileage to the southwest region, but also the Xijiang Golden Waterway and many expressways. (Zhaoqing traffic location indication; among them, the Pearl River Delta Hub (Guangzhou New) Airport, which is under planning at the junction of Zhaoqing and Foshan, is only 22 kilometers away from the main city of Zhaoqing, mapping @泰山&杨宁/Planet Research Institute) In 2014, the Nan-Guang and Gui-Guang high-speed railways were opened to traffic, and Zhaoqing became the first city in the Southwest to enter the Pearl River Delta. (Flying Nanguang high-speed rail, photographer @梁亮) In 2016, the Guangzhou-Kunming high-speed rail and the Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaozhou intercity rail line opened to traffic. In 2019, the direct high-speed rail from Zhaoqing East Station to Hong Kong opened, and it only takes 80 minutes to reach Hong Kong. (Guangfo Zhao Intercity driving in Zhaoqing City, photographer @管俊鸿) According to the “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cooperative Development Plan”, Zhaoqing will be an important node in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area that connects, radiates, and drives the Southwest. (Zhaoqing East Station, photographer @罗智浩) In the future, Zhaoqing will vigorously promote the construction of urban rail, high-speed rail, airports, bridges and other projects, actively integrate into the “one-hour living circle” in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and actively build a half-hour traffic circle between Guangzhou, Foshan and Zhaoqing, becoming a combined water, land, and air transportation system. It is a comprehensive three-dimensional hub that truly achieves the “East Fusion and West Link”, becoming the bridgehead of the Pearl River Delta to the greater southwest. (The Yuejiang Bridge in Zhaoqing is more than 3800 meters long and opened to traffic in 2017.

There is much space for development and utilization, which is convenient for undertaking industrial transfer from Shenzhen and other places. Especially under the geographical advantage, Zhaoqing is sitting on the Pearl River-Xijiang Economic Belt, the Advanced Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Belt on the West Bank of the Pearl River, and the Guangdong-Guangxi-Guizhou High-speed Railway Economic Belt, enjoying the three-overlapped policy preferences. (Explanation of the scope of the triple economic belt, drawing @泰山&杨宁/Planet Research Institute) Today, Zhaoqing has four major national and provincial platforms, including Zhaoqing High-tech Zone and Zhaoqing New District. It has initially formed a cluster of industries such as new energy vehicles, advanced equipment manufacturing, and biomedical food. There are also Ningde Times, Xiaopeng Motors, Fenghua Hi-Tech And Zhaoqing Wanda National Resort, these over 10 billion-level projects constitute the industry name card. In the next five years, Zhaoqing will also cultivate three hundred billion industrial clusters of new energy vehicles, advanced equipment manufacturing, and energy conservation and environmental protection, which are now beginning to take shape.

Waterfall Bay. https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/ The Sang mountain area is adjacent to the prehistoric archaeological site with the autumn-winter battle at Khoang Bo rapids. Bright Mountain is also hidden in the deep green and serenity of a magnificent and very spectacular landscape. In the mountain, there are primeval forests, many kinds of precious trees, strange flowers and plants. On Sang Mountain, there is a beautiful scene that is both majestic and spectacular, which is Bay waterfall. This is a waterfall created by a stream flowing down from the top of Sang Mountain. The long-term flow from the endless mountain land has created many rapids. Until now, people in the area have not yet determined how many waterfalls there are in the Bay waterfall system. Sometimes it is four, sometimes five or seven peaks, and then some indigenous people claim to have all nine waterfalls. The waterfalls are connected in a row, the higher you go, the higher the waterfall steps, creating a spectacular scene. Bay Waterfall is the name of the highest waterfall and is considered the common name of the whole waterfall system. The wild beauty of Sang Mountain. https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/ To be able to reach Bay waterfall, you have to go to the shore of Bo Lac Lake – a reservoir built by local people with wisdom, labor and determination higher than the mountain since the 80s of the century. before. From here, to admire all the fanciful beauty of all the peaks in the Bay waterfall system, visitors should not go on the mountain trail but wade upstream along the stream. In this way, although it will be much more adventurous and difficult, but in return, you can admire the beauty of the mountains and the waterfall from a different angle, wild and extremely charming. Here, the water and the air “separate” each person in their own way: the water flows down the stream and the air rolls backwards, forming a gust of wind that blows all around, like a hurricane accompanied by rain. Visitors coming here inevitably get wet, but even though their clothes are wet, they still fly, their hair also flutters and everything flies… Maybe that’s why people call it Bay waterfall. The old people in the region recounted: “Bay Waterfall is the new name given, formerly known as Drum Waterfall to fight the army because it is said that Mr. From there, you will go up to Bach Bung, De Tham cave”. Hai Luu Stork Garden. https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/ Passing through the Bay waterfall, from there up high, we will come to Bach Bung beach, where De Thuan in the past planted rice. On Sang Mountain, there was once a mountain called Bach Bung. The Van Dai Book of Languages ​​says: “Nu Sang is the highest peak in the Lich mountain range. The top of the mountain has several flat places like a palace, with the temple of De Thuan”. Sang Mountain has an abundant water source flowing all year round creating many rapids, beautiful lakes and providing irrigation and fishery resources. The large streams are the habitat of many aquatic species (goby, catfish, perch, trach locust, shrimp, shrimp, crab…). Those who go to the mountains often fish grilled on the spot. A fire stove, a wine pot, a few fish skewers make a party for tourists who love the natural life. Currently, local authorities have built large streams to create dams to hold water for agricultural production, aquaculture and eco-tourism. That is Bo Lac lake in the south, Suoi Sai lake in the north of Sang mountain. In addition, there is also a picnic ecological area (Hai Luu stork garden), historical and cultural relic area (Binh Son tower), historical site ( Khoan Bo rapids) and Hai Luu stone crafting village. https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/

Aphids is a type of beetle, most commonly found in Bay Nui, in two districts of Tinh Bien, Tri Ton (An Giang) and the southwestern border region. Aphids reproduce in large numbers at the beginning of the rainy season and last for about a month. This time is usually from April to May of the lunar calendar, depending on whether the year rains sooner or later. In the past, leafhoppers were considered harmful insects for farmers because they often bite young shoots, especially in mango, mulberry, and cashew trees… But recently, people in the border areas have discovered it. how to fry aphids, turn this insect a delicious and nutritious dish. Since then, many people have sought to hunt to process aphids into a unique delicacy, notably the deep-fried mealybugs. The beetle has a beetle-like shape, the size of a thumb, brown cockroach wings, short body, wings, very hard head and legs, but soft and round body. The sage beetle is dry, does not bite like some other insects. The people of this country consider this a “unique” dish, only eating for 1-2 months a year. Therefore, new beetles become a specialty. The way to catch leafhoppers during the day is to pick up cow dung, dry buffalo dung and burn it for smoke to rise to the sky. After a while, the beetles smelled the smell and just flew away, dancing in the smoke. People kept holding brooms to beat the bugs to the ground and then put them in baskets. Hunting beetles at night is simpler and more gentle. The catcher just needs to hang a bright lantern right under the mango tree, where there are beetles gathering on the tree. Just a few minutes later, the light-loving beetles were flying and falling on the ground. The Bay Nui leafhopper is larger than a thumb with a characteristic shape of the beetle, so it looks “difficult to swallow”. However, when they have passed through the hands of the housewives in the mountains, they seem to have completely molted. In the past, beetles were considered the food of the poor. But today, this insect has become a specialty, becoming a favorite dish not to be missed in restaurants and pubs. Just like how to process rice crickets, nymphs or scorpions, hoppers only need to be cleaned by removing wings, legs and gutting, then rinsing with warm water mixed with salt. Then, the cook marinated the beetles with sugar, MSG, pepper, and garlic for about 20 minutes, then caught the pan to fry until crispy. The food stalls and restaurants will have a beautiful presentation, while the dishes of the people in the countryside are simple and rudimentary, but the taste is also crispy, fragrant, fatty, and not inferior. People who know how to make aphids when removing their intestines will not squeeze all their eggs, because the eggs are very delicious and fatty, once eaten, they will remember forever. Crispy fried beetle can be served with raw vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers and salt and pepper with lemon. Just like eating fried scorpions, people who eat aphids for the first time often feel scared because the animal is ugly and the color is not fresh and attractive. The eater just needs to put it in his mouth to bite, the taste will immediately spread, the fat of the meat penetrates into each tooth root, not mixed with any other flavor. Photo: IT.

Those who have been fascinated with the island with a sandy shore and two beaches in Hon Noi (Nha Trang) will be interested in Tu Do island in Lan Ha Bay (Cat Ba, Hai Phong). This place fascinates visitors by the rare and difficult-to-find scenery with two sides bordering the sea, alternating between limestone mountains with interesting shapes. This fairy place is still very deserted, not known by many people, so it still retains its inherent wild and natural features. Tu Do Island is located in the southeast of Cat Ba National Park. Lan Ha Bay has recently attracted many tourists because of its deserted islands and beautiful coral reefs such as Van Boi and Van Ha. Clear blue sea water, quiet sea, few big waves like Sen island, Cu island, Monkey island. In particular, after appearing on the personal page of actor Leonardo Dicaprio calling for conservation, Lan Ha Bay is getting hotter and hotter, especially for Western guests. Freedom is an island with two beautiful sea fronts in Cat Ba. Freedom Island, also known as Freedom Island by foreign tourists, is a small island among 388 islands in the Cat Ba archipelago, located in a beautiful bay. The island has a famous beach with rare beauty with two opposite beaches, separated by a small sandy beach. Visitors can walk from side to side to admire different views. Like other islands in Ha Long Bay – Lan Ha Bay, the sea water in Tu Do Island is also blue, shimmering in the summer sun. This island is quite small, the scenery is wild and peaceful. Coming here, in addition to experiencing swimming on both sides, visitors also have many other interesting activities such as stand-up paddle boarding to explore caves, lying on a float floating in the sea, playing volleyball on the beach … The island always arranges kayaks, visitors can row to visit the bay at any time because the bay is airtight and very safe. Tu Do Island has been checked in by some famous travel bloggers such as Shenelle Rodrigo from Sri Lanka. She shared: “The other side of the island is perfect for swimming. This is the perfect island for us! Not to mention that you can explore the bay by kayak. We even discovered the bay. appeared a small beach with an interesting shape. I encourage you to experience a full day on Tu Do island.” Around 2 beaches are surrounded by steep, majestic cliffs. To be able to go to Tu Do Island, you can buy a tour for about 1.3 million / person 2 days 1 night including shuttle bus from Cat Ba and boat to the island. This is the most convenient way to move to this island today, so you can consider it. Tu Do Island is still unspoiled, possessing a charming natural scenery, promising to be a place many tourists come to explore in the near future.

The coral disappears? The team led by Professor Konstantin Tkachenko and his colleagues conducted a coral survey at 10 points for about 3 years (2016 – 2019). Average coral cover decreased 64.4%, of which the strongest reduction was two corals Acropora and Montipora, which are the main components of coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay, decreased by 80, respectively. 6% and 82.3%. The level of coral degradation in the above survey points is serious. On Hon Mot island, this coral has lost completely or its coverage decreased by 4-8 times. Collecting coral samples on Nha Trang Bay. Observation results, collecting analytical samples at 20 fixed points (2013 – 2019), combining the tools of mapping reefs and analyzing GIS geographic information systems for comparison with 4 decades ago show that , the total area of ​​rich and healthy coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay has decreased from 6.65km 2 before 1980 down to 0.74 km 2 in 2019. That shows, Nha Trang has lost 90% of its corals in less than 40 years. The remaining 10% of the coral communities are in two states: Some remain stable and some continue to decline, coverage ranges from 13 to 50% and species diversity is also significantly reduced. . According to Dr. Hoang Xuan Ben – Deputy Director of Nha Trang Institute of Oceanography, the results of recent research and publication (2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020) of the Institute of Oceanography on the current situation and trend of change The coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay Reserve also showed that the average coverage of hard corals in Nha Trang Bay was 22.8%. The cover of coral reefs in Nha Trang Bay can be divided into 3 groups: The group with high coverage is Hon Mun area reaching level 4 (coverage 51 – 75%); the average coverage group is Bai Bang, Hon Chong, Hon Vung and Hon Tam with the value of level 2 (10-30%) and the group with low coverage are the remaining points with the value of level 1 (less than 10%). . The assessment results at the fixed monitoring points in Nha Trang Bay showed that the monitoring points located in the strictly protected area all had a high value of hard coral coverage and remained stable over time from 2002 – 2015. Meanwhile, most of the monitoring points outside the strictly protected area have fluctuations in a downward trend. Compared with the results in 1994 (over 25 years), the average coverage of Nha Trang Bay corals is about 30%, the current coral coverage is 7.2%. The area of ​​coral reefs decreased from 754ha to 636.6ha (down 117.4ha, equivalent to 13.5%). 9 species of hard corals that are resilient Dr. Hoang Xuan Ben said that the decline of coral reefs in the bay has many causes such as: Exploiting destruction by explosives, cyanide (currently no longer available); environmental pollution (tourism activities, waste discharge, aquaculture …) altering living conditions, appearing diseased corals, outbreak of coral-eating organisms (starfishes) and local eutrophication; coral bleaching phenomenon and natural disasters (storms, floods) … However, the biggest loss of coral reefs is due to the leveling process, construction of tourism infrastructure and people in the coastal and island areas. The leveling not only loses the area of ​​the coral reef but also sends sediment into the sea, causing deposition on the reef surface, causing the coral to die. Over the past time, the Institute of Oceanography has experimented with restoring corals in Nha Trang Bay, has identified 9 recoverable hard corals with a survival rate of over 60%, the average growth rate from 0. , 4 – 6.5mm / month. This result brings certain effects, contributing to minimizing adverse impacts on coral reefs, improving reefs by increasing coral cover, increasing sustainable attachment prices for corals. To restore and create a stable environment for the development of the reef biome. However, compared with other recovery areas in Vietnamese waters such as Ly Son, Binh Dinh, and Con Dao, the survival rate of the recovered corals in Nha Trang Bay is not high. Some of the causes are identified such as: coral damage, competition between species, environmental quality changes due to indirect activities from humans and other factors such as dynamic mode, coral. wounded at the cuts. Therefore, the province needs a comprehensive assessment to have a solution to this problem. VL

Xie Zhiheng holds a bachelor’s degree in physics, a master’s degree in biomedical engineering, and a doctorate in biophysics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has conducted artificial intelligence and medical applications for many years. He founded Miaozhi Technology in Hong Kong Cyberport, focusing on the research and development of intelligent surgical software and robots. With the development of business, Miaozhi Technology has also developed in Shenzhen and Dongguan Songshan Lake, and currently has teams in the three places.

Xie Zhiheng

“The Hong Kong team conducts algorithm research and cooperates with Hong Kong universities for industry-university research. The Shenzhen team focuses on software development. Dongguan Songshan Lake is mainly engaged in production and cooperation with suppliers.” Xie Zhiheng introduced.

At present, some products of Miaozhi Technology have been deployed in more than 60 hospitals, including Beijing 304 Hospital, Guangzhou Nanfang Hospital, etc., and have processed thousands of cases through the AI ​​system to provide doctors with quantified surgical parameters and guidance systems. The surgical robot under development has the leading force feedback and automatic puncture system at home and abroad, which can automatically complete the soft tissue puncture intervention with sub-millimeter precision.

Xie Zhiheng believes that the rapid development of the company has benefited from the relatively complete upstream and downstream industrial chain in the Greater Bay Area, and the rapid connection speed has provided important soil for the company’s development. For example, during the 2020 epidemic, Miaozhi Technology cooperated with Dongguan South China Innovation Research Institute to jointly develop the anti-epidemic guardian temperature measurement system software and hardware in only two weeks, which was put into use in Songshan Lake Middle School and several automobile factories in the United States. In addition, Miaozhi Technology is establishing a surgical robot production base in Songshan Lake, in which hardware parts are provided by major suppliers in Dongguan, which shortens the entire surgical robot development cycle through regional cooperation.

“From the industry where I work, I can feel that the regional synergy effect is real.” Xie Zhiheng took the research and development and production of medical devices as an example. “Hong Kong has a good technical theoretical foundation. Shenzhen is mainly responsible for software research and development. The manufacturing industry is relatively developed. It is difficult for a city to meet all the needs, but a region can.”

Xie Zhiheng said that it is inevitable to encounter various problems in the process of starting a business, but whether it is Shenzhen or Dongguan, the strong support of the local government in financial docking and other aspects made him decide to stick to it. “The local government has given many opportunities and I am very grateful.”

In recent years, Miaozhi Technology’s Songshan Lake has entered the “fast lane” of development, providing fertile soil for the development of innovation and entrepreneurship. In July 2020, Songshan Lake Science City and Guangming Science City jointly became the main body of the pioneering area of ​​the comprehensive national science center in the Greater Bay Area, becoming an important force representing the country to participate in global scientific and technological competition and cooperation, and the elements of innovation and entrepreneurship continue to accelerate. At present, there are more than 10,000 innovative and entrepreneurial enterprises in the park, attracting more than 3,600 overseas talents.

According to Ye Zhenhui, Director of the Songshan Lake Branch of the Dongguan Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Songshan Lake Hong Kong and Macau Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base was officially inaugurated in May 2019. Create an international service platform for the transfer and transformation of achievements and effectively promote the transformation of new and old kinetic energy of local industries. “Hopefully, the platform carrier of the base can become the’bridgehead’ for Songshan Lake to connect with international resources.” He said.
