1. On the afternoon of the first day of the Spring Festival in the Year of Dogs, the sun is shining brightly and the spring sun is warm and pleasant. I drove to Huangpu Gugang (Huangpu Village) with 4 people, including Han Ge Fenping, to Pazhou, Haizhu District, Guangzhou. 2. We visited the main scenic spots of Huangpu Ancient Port Site (Huangpu Village) and tasted the local large stalls of ginger milk, mung bean Tangyuan sugar water, cattle and carrots. The tour has been fruitful and tastes good food. It's a good time to celebrate the first day of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dog. 3. Huangpu Ancient Port witnessed the prosperity of Guangzhou "Ancient Maritime Silk Road". According to the record of "History of Huangpu Port" - "The Qing Dynasty abolished Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian Customs in 1757, and retained only Guangdong Customs. Guangzhou became the only foreign trade port. From 1758 to 1837 (80 years), a total of 5107 foreign merchant ships were berthed in the ancient port of Huangpu. 4. Huangpu Ancient Harbour Scenic Area is mainly divided into four functional areas: Memorial Exhibition Area, Ancient Harbour Park Area, Trestle Road Catering Area and Village Square Area. The most worthwhile visits are the "Gothenburg" commemorative sculpture, the archway of the ancient harbour, the First Pass Memorial Hall in Guangdong and Hainan, the ancient harbour wharf, the Humanities and History Museum of Huangpu Village, etc. 5. Huangpu Village (Huangpu Ancient Port) is closely related to Liang Cheng, the father of Tsinghua University. See figure below - "Left is Chinese Ambassador to the United States Liang Cheng; right is American Ambassador to China Rouke Yi. Boxer refund was initiated by the United States, and Liang Chengyou promoted Boxer refund by the United States. Liang Chengyou contributed to the promotion. The establishment of Tsinghua University is related to Boxer refund, so Liang Cheng is also known as the father of Tsinghua University. From 1909 to 1946, the United States returned a total of 34.93 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 63% of its total compensation. From 1912 to 1937, there were more than 2,000 students in the United States, with a total of 6.2 million dollars. See figure below - "1918, Tsinghua students studying in the United States boarded a ship in Shanghai for a long voyage to the United States.
