/kloc-It is already snowing in the north in October and February, and Hailing Island in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province is still green.

There is a mangrove national wetland park in Hailing Island, where the longest cross-sea wooden plank road in Guangdong is built.

This plank road starts from the embankment and extends to the sea, connecting the green island in the center of the sea.

The plank road twists and turns like a long dragon soaring on the sea. Tourists walk through it, as if they suddenly learned the lightness skill of "floating on water"

In winter, there are more sunny days in the mangroves of Hailing Island. The blue sky sets off the blue sea and wetlands and has a vast and beautiful state. Walking all the way, breathing the fresh air by the sea, I feel relaxed and happy.

Hailing Island Mangrove National Wetland Park is located in Shen Qian Bay, covering an area of 6.08 square kilometers. It is one of the eight new sights of Hailing Island. The park is covered with subtropical mangroves. Seen from a distance, this mangrove forest is like an oasis floating on the sea. The oasis is dotted with various viewing pavilions. These pavilions are part of the cross-sea plank road, adding classical charm to the "green world" by the sea and making the landscape more agile.

There are seven kinds of mangroves in the park, including paulownia, Avicennia marina and Kandelia candel. What is a mangrove forest? Many friends may have questions. Before that, I thought mangroves were red forests. Facts have proved that this idea is wrong.

Mangrove, called Mangrove in English, is an evergreen shrub and small tree community, which grows on the shoal at the junction of tropical and subtropical land and sea. It is a veritable "water beauty" because it is submerged by periodic tides.

Mangroves are not only beautiful, but also good moistureproof and windproof belts. However, wherever there are mangroves, seawalls are not easy to be washed away. Mangroves, like protectors, protect the lives and property of coastal people. At the end of 2004, the famous South Asian tsunami occurred in the Indian Ocean, which caused serious property losses and a large number of casualties to many coastal countries and regions. At that time, it was a miracle that 172 families in Thorpe fishing village, Sinar province, India were lucky enough to escape the attack. These families are only a few tens of meters away from the seaside. Why did they escape? At first, lush mangroves grew on the coast. This incident made the name of mangrove widely circulated around the world.

Nowadays, more and more attention has been paid to the cultivation and protection of mangroves. Although Hailing Island National Wetland Park has been developed into a tourist attraction, it is mainly protected, supplemented by sightseeing, leisure and popular science education.

This is a good place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and the sky, a holy place to take pictures and an "ideal garden" to learn mangrove knowledge. Here we know a lot of previously unknown tree species, and think it's really classic to live and learn.

Hailing Island National Wetland Park has more than 200 species of birds, crustaceans and fish, and the shallow sea area is very rich in seafood. When playing, seabirds such as egrets are seen flying in the air from time to time, suddenly hiding in mangroves or stopping in a shallow sea area for food. Here, man and nature are very harmonious.

The local government attaches great importance to the protection of mangroves. In addition to the lush jungle now, there are many relatively low saplings on both sides of the plank road, which thrive under the dual nourishment of seawater and sunshine and make contributions to protecting and beautifying the ecological environment.
