"Colorful Dongtou" is a "business card" in Dongtou Village, Dongtou District. Looking north from the seashore or the half-screen straits of Chiao Ao Beach, the colorful houses built against the mountains appear vibrant and childlike under the blue sky. Among them, the childlike and romantic paintings make dreams within reach.
"Since the year before last, houses in Dongtou Village have become more and more beautiful," said Zhou Shixiong, secretary of Dongtou Village.
On the painted wall of Dongtou Village, under the window sill of the house, a handful of green plants fell down, two naughty little boys carrying school bags, trying their best to reach it-this painting, It is the place with the highest entry rate at the painted red checkpoints of Dongxiang Village. Stepping up, half of the head of the "Simpsons", French photo frames, mediocre melodies ... A corner, there is a surprise.
Zhou Shixiong told reporters that the colorful houses in Dongtou Village radiate from fishing port lanes to the surroundings. The core area is mainly painted, and the outer part is a group of colorful houses. The alley lane winding along the mountain, the painted patterns appear inadvertently when looking down and looking far, such a "small surprise" makes people want to stop. In the past two years, with the gradual increase of tourists, the fishing port lane has become a "net red lane" through an online social platform.
The beautiful scenery of Dongtou Village is its attractive “shape”, while historical stories and imprints of the years are its “gods”.
The fishing port lane is about one meter wide. It is the only passage from Dongtou fishing port to the county town in the 1950s and 1960s. Various shops along the way line up one after another, the crowd is surging, and the prosperity can be imagined. "The fish was unloaded from the boat, everyone went all the way to the county town to sell, and when tired, they rested and ate in the small restaurants along the way. The alley was bustling, and there were all kinds of necessities, the things you wanted to buy at that time, here are almost All. "Zhou Shixiong recalled.
In the fishing port lanes, in addition to the traditional "tiger skin house" and the cement houses built by fishermen in the 1970s and 1980s, there are some quite historic buildings. Zhou Shixiong pointed to a house with a wooden facade and told reporters that there are 10 houses in the village that still have a clear historical mark. There are currently four or five houses rented by the village to plan for "retro upgrade". The wooden facade is very neat and tidy, waiting for "rebirth". Next to it, there is a well-preserved building with the style of the Republic of China period, with embedded window frames and a simple relief sculpture. "It is possible to have such a house in the 'Golden Lot'. It must have been a big family at the time." Zhou Shixiong said that the current owner has expressed his position to the village. After repairing the facade and interior, the whole house will be handed over to the village committee Operational use.
Stepping up the stone steps, the messy hillside has now become a small square for the fisherman, and the movie "Magpie Bird Song", familiar to the fisherman, is carved on the shadow wall-"Mother, don't cry, you will arrive on the 10th and 8th. Pull up the whizzing roar, Erfan pulls up to the palace mouth ... "Accompanied by singing in Min Nan, it is even more flavorful. It is understood that this hillside is the commanding height of Dongtou Village. In times when there is no weather forecast, once the wind and rain change suddenly, the fishing sisters will climb up the hill and look at the sea to see if her husband's fishing boat is entering the port.
Gradually bid farewell to the hardships of asking for life from the sea. In recent years, Dongtou Village has gradually changed from a fishing village to a tourist village. Thanks to its geographical advantages, the earliest batch of "fisher's house" in Dongtou was born here, which became a must-visit place for tourists to eat seafood and enjoy the sea view.
"If there are more guests, the quality of the environment must be kept up." Zhou Shixiong told reporters that the islanders have a natural obsession with hygiene, and their homes are small and large, and they will be cleanly cleaned. In the past, due to the lagging infrastructure, even if the home was neat and clean, the sanitation on the road and in the sea was shameful.
In recent years, with the help of the construction of Huayuan Village, the environment of Dongtou Village has become more and more beautiful with the interception of sewage pipes and the entry of third lines into the ground. After retiring, Guo Liangcheng, 62, returned to his hometown to renovate his old house and opened a bed and breakfast. "The rooms have been booked these days." Guo Liangcheng said. It is understood that there are currently 16 homestays in Dongtou Village, as well as many cultural and creative shops.
"The night view of Dongtou Village is also very good now. We have lightened the exterior of the house, and it looks like an island 'Potala Palace' from a distance." Zhou Shixiong said that this year, Dongtou Village should be refined and unique. 3. Build in a planned direction. In this plan, the village not only completed the "brightening" of the appearance, but also extended the tour route, repaired the ancient road, and joined the cultural relics department of Dongtou District to excavate and protect the Confucius Temple resources remaining in the area to further enhance the cultural content of the fishing village , Refine the highlights, so that everyone's figure is not only left in the lens and the picture, but also into the history and story of Dongtou.
