Tieku, located in Zhangban Town, Hui’an County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, overlooks Chongwu to the north, Xiangzhi to the south, and is adjacent to Zhangban to the west. Historically, Tieku has been an isolated island. Records indicate that during the Tang Dynasty, Monk Hui Yuan from Hangzhou Lingyin Temple traveled southward and, upon seeing a mountain floating on the sea, moored his boat, went ashore, and established a temple on the eastern part of the island, settling there.
The temple was named Fushan Temple, and later, the village took its name from the temple, becoming Fushan Village. In the early 1970s, under the organization of local departments in Hui’an County, the ‘July 1st Reclamation’ command work group was established. Villagers from the entire village, along with some from other villages, embarked on the well-known ‘July 1st Reclamation’ labor. The villagers, with their own hands and sweat, constructed two seawalls, north and south, transforming the originally isolated Tieku Island into a peninsula. Open all year round, accessible 24/7.Related posts:
