Artificial islands are artificially built rather than naturally formed. It is generally built on the basis of small islands and reefs. It is a kind of reclamation land.The size of artificial islands is built by expanding existing small islands, buildings or reefs, or merging several natural islands.For the prosperous international metropolis Shanghai, most of the islands related to it may think of Chongming Island.Chongming is located in the coast of the East China Sea and the entrance of the Yangtze River.The island is flat, and the altitude is only about 4 meters.
It has no mountains and no hills, and there is no rush of volcanic rushing, mudslite flowing.The terrain of Chongming Island is like a silkworm baby. The west side is slightly lower to the east, and it is lying on the intersection of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea.The total area of Chongming District, Shanghai is 1,413 square kilometers. At present, the permanent population is nearly 640,000, mainly consisting of three islands.Not only that, but it is also particularly worth mentioning that Chongming, which looks like the ‘Silkworm Baby’, is the largest estuary deposit island in the world, but also the third largest island in China after Taiwan and Hainan Island.However, in Shanghai, in addition to Chongming Island, there are some niche islands.
Among them, there is such a place in Shanghai, it does not need tickets for the subway, have you been to?Maybe a curious friend will ask, where is this artificial island in Shanghai?What are the different scenery there?With these questions and curiosity, lets talk with you today, about the things about Shanghai Fuxing Island.Fuxing Island is located in the northeast of the central urban area of Shanghai and the lower reaches of the Huangpu River in the southeast of Yangpu District, about 16 kilometers from Wusongkou.From Dinghai Road Bridge in the south, the north is close to the river mouth, with crescent -shaped, 3.42 kilometers long, and the widest part of the central part is 550 meters.
The area of Fuxing Island is about 1.133 square kilometers. It is a closed inland island in the Pujiang River, which has unique natural geographical conditions.The Huangpu River was bent north in the south of Yangpu. The left bank of the river naturally deposited a shallow beach.The chance of history has expanded it into todays Fuxing Island.After nearly a century, this 1.133 square kilometer island has gone through prosperity and decline, hiding many history.At first it was just a shallow beach near the Huangpu River near Zhoujiazui Village. The folk called it "Zhoujiazui Sand".
In 1905, the Qing government officially established the Shanghai Junpu Engineering General Administration and began to dredge the Huangpu River Channel. From 1925 to 1934, ZhoujiazuiThe sandy land was filled into land by large -scale.In 1927, the Junpu Bureau bought the beach with 400,000 silver, and it was once called Zhoujiazui Island and Ding Island.After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in 1946, the island was renamed Fuxing Island and has been used to this day.There are no commercial houses on Fuxing Island today, but as part of the old industrial base in Shanghai, many pharmaceuticals, shipbuilding, logistics and marine fishery companies have retained.
There are no high-rise buildings on the island, most of which are warehouses and docks; there is no car water, "slow" is almost like ""Cement Forest", there is a large area of real forest ... even the red and green lights, and the time solidifies into the appearance of the last century.Because there is no supermarket, no convenience stores, no cafes on the island.In addition to the only attractions on the island, Fuxing Island Park, most of the remaining places are warehouse shipyards and troops.This few people asking the Fuxing Island Park with their own unique elegance and tranquility.
When the cherry blossoms are open, the Japanese-style pavilion in the garden will be more clever, and there is a big one in the garden.The lawn is very suitable for taking pictures.Unlike the Chongming Island, which is a lot of tourists, although Fuxing Island, located in the southeast of Yangpu District, is the only island in the center of Shanghai, but there are not many people know.Line 12 Fuxing Island Station was rated by netizens: the most lonely subway station in Shanghai.
Even if it is a peak on the commute, passengers who get off at this stop are rare.Especially for friends who work and live in Shanghai, and surrounding provinces and cities, if you do n’t want to go directly to the subway, the only large artificial islands in Shanghai are what you want to say, and you are welcome to comment on the comments.
