Sanmao’s ancestral home: Sanmao’s ancestral home was built by her grandfather Mr. Chen Zongxu in the last century and is located in Chenjia, Xiaosha Town.
Fuweng Hall: Located in Wangjia Village surrounded by green hills, Fuweng Hall was built in the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. According to county annals: In the early period of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, due to the self-recommendation of Minister Tang He, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to relocate the residents of 46 islands in Changguo (now Zhoushan).
The people who were reluctant to leave their hometowns hid everywhere. For a time, people were displaced and in a state of panic. The commoner Wang Guozuo could not bear the people to suffer this disaster. After going through hardships, he went to the capital alone to meet the emperor. He strongly argued the reasons why Changguo could not be relocated. Only then could more than 8,000 people in Changguo live and work in peace and contentment.
The people were grateful to Wang Guozuo and called him ‘Mr. Fuweng’, and his residence was then called ‘Fuweng Hall’.
Shuailong Bridge: Shuailong Bridge was built in the 24th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty. The bridge body is arched with strip stones and square stones. It is named because the whole bridge body is just like an inverted dragon. After hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion, this bridge is still as solid as ever. In 1990, it was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit of Dinghai District. In order to protect the historical scenic spot of Shuailong Bridge, the town government built a sister bridge on the side of the bridge in 1994 to achieve the artistic realm of ‘two dragons reflecting each other’.
Zhuyin Chan Temple: Located among green hills and bamboos, ‘Zhuyin Chan Temple’ was built in the heyday of the Northern Dynasty. There are dozens of monks. Entering the temple, you can see bamboos hidden and banyan and cypress trees blocking the sun. It is indeed a good place for summer vacation and rest.
Tianhou Palace: Tianhou Palace is located in Maoshi Village, Xiaosha. This palace was built in the Qing Dynasty. There are existing buildings such as the front hall, the middle corridor, the back hall and the gate. The construction area is 604 square meters. It is a unique ancient building along the coast of China. Tianhou Palace is also called Tianfei. She is a female protector of the sea in ancient legends. She conquers various difficulties on the sea route. This palace is well-preserved. There is only one such place in Zhoushan City. It is an important material object for studying the navigation situation in ancient coastal areas of our country and has certain historical, scientific and artistic value.
