Oecumene or "It is necessary to live somewhere!"

The author writes, Bogodukhova:

I live in Wenzhou.
This means that I can go to the sea at least every weekend. But there is one "but" - the road ...
It will take at least 1, 5 hours.
But there is something to take a look until you get to the beach!





Not far from Wenzhou have a small archipelago DongTou, consisting of 6 large islands, as well as a dozen or so - uninhabited babies.
Recently, it was decided to transform the place and to breathe a little more life in the form of numerous tourists, in other words - to make a profit.



By the way - Wenzhou famous throughout China and the world as a city where live alone business. Among the Russian it is known under the name of the second - Porsche, because this car is a kind of local natsidei, something that we should strive and be sure to buy, even in your garage, even some Audi and BMW in the same class. But on the whims of the rich Wenzhou have to write a separate post.
The local population from birth brains are focused on making money. When you ask someone who's your daddy, in response to say, with his own business. In short, in Wenzhou live the richest people in China. This is all to the fact that to understand the large-scale projects which they are willing to subscribe in order to receive millions in profits.



And in 2003, it started the construction of the dam, which crosses a fair maritime space and rests on the western edge of the island. Construction of this building was carried out for 3 years! In 2006 - under the endless applause was the islanders cut the red ribbon. Now the archipelago with the mainland connects fine concrete track length of 14, 5 km and a width of 10, 5 meters, 51 meters in height.



The dam cost the government 7 mlrd.yuaney, of which - 700 million. - Private investment. We can say that the dam erected the world: 10 million people have donated one month's wages for this purpose. And it is fully justified costs: now the islanders can get to the city in 15-20 minutes, whereas previously sailed by ferry and spend a couple of hours.



Huge minus any ferry - its vulnerability during storms, which in this sea is not rare. During one of the typhoon, the people were cut off from the world on their islands as the sea is not calm.



But the longest sea dike - this is only part of a global project for the development of tourism in the islands!



Immediately after the Congress on the beach, we find ourselves on the road that goes around and connects all the islands into a single space. For this purpose built 5 large bridges, countless small and dug a bunch of tunnels.



In fact - there is no flat land, very often mountains and rocks. But it's amazing! Chinese granite grind impregnable-looking tops to free up space for the construction of new houses and hotels, and even plants! Now, if you find yourself in the center of the main island - you can not immediately understand what it is all built on a plot of land in the distance from the mainland! It is a full-fledged city, with skyscrapers, schools, hospitals, completely autonomous.



And now about where money comes from. Thousands and thousands of tourists !!! Especially on national holidays ... A line of cars and buses ends and parking - packed, all the major attractions - so crowded that no room to swing fall.

These bare rocks and a tiny beach, sandwiched between them, have been sold to the Chinese people under the slogan: "The best place to meet the sunrise and enjoy the endless sea."



A fly in the honey of this story is the next frame ... I admit that such a disgusting going on here only on national holidays, but it does not change ...



To complete the image is found signs that the islands have been known since ancient times that there meditating monks, as well as the once great hero led the underground struggle against the Japanese invaders, and after years of fighting, expelled invaders from the islands.



Here we can see the figure of a fighter for independence, which is not overgrown popular trail. Chinese without any precautions boost the suspension bridge over the harsh precipice to stand for five seconds on the patch around the hero-liberator.



Do not forget the second major "fad" Chinese people: the food! They spend a lot of money by eating local seafood delicacies. That, in turn, allows you to eat, and restaurant owners and fishermen themselves, who do not have problems with sales.

So now, shrouded in legends and myths, the archipelago attracts more and more visitors, and residents themselves Wenzhou happy to spend the weekend here.

In view of the fact that the influx of tourists is so large, the authorities have decided on an ambitious new project that will be completed in the next year ...
They build ... the second longest dam! Parallel to the north. But this time, the road will be a 4-way width 21, 5 m, where you can drive at a speed of 80 km / h.

In this map of South - is now being built dam - marked by dark color.

Ai, venchzhoustsy, ah da bitches business



I mean, they really impressed me a big way. After all, everything is relative. Back in April, I thought that as long seawall, which is located in Lianyungang (a port city in Jiangsu province, known fact that there is Russian built nuclear power plants), - no. And there is only a 6700 meters ...
Although the principle is the same, or even similar images beach!

The port of Lianyungang on the Yellow Sea and the island of Lyandao, which carried the road over the sea.



It took 20 years of research, debate, experimentation before in 1985 it was decided to build a dam. "Great Wall on the sea" was built by December 1993. Its width is 12 meters. The road leads directly to the city beach ...



On a typical day ...



These examples show that the Chinese leadership does not leave in the lurch those citizens that eternally settled on the islands, mainly engaged in fishing. Dams, bridges, new roads - everything for comfortable living in vulnerable areas. But do not forget about the benefits, but with good organization of advertising campaigns, all these rocks differ odnolikih travel agency with a bang.

On the day of festive ...
