The "Xiangshan Port" that cannot be found on the map today is the general name of several ports along the coast of Xiangshan (salt water port, Haishan port, etc.), and one of the berthing ports of merchant ships in the Qing Dynasty. Goods from all over the world land here and then are transported to Zhuchong. In the city, this road gradually formed an official road, passing through settlements such as Caoluozai, Dingliao, Xialiao, and Xiashuigang, and even the government needs to send troops to guard it. https://walkin.tw/sites/default/files/u23/119127442_243466360316981_2277002551093180538_n.jpg The starting point of this parent-child journey is the Xiangshan Station, which was set up in 1902.
