The origin of the name of Ningbo Xiangshan, why is it called Xiangshan?

Origin of the name: In the second year of Tang Shenlong in Lixian County (AD 706), Xiangshan was named because there are mountains in the northwest of the county, which are composed of 608 islands and reefs in the eastern and coastal areas of Xiangshan Peninsula.

Xiangshan county is located between 28 51'18 "-29 39' 42" north latitude and12134' 03 "-122 65438 east longitude. Located in the middle of the eastern coast of Zhejiang Province, southeast of Ningbo, between Xiangshan Port and Sanmen Bay. Its geographical location is near Xiangshan Port in the north, facing Yinzhou District and Fenghua City across the harbor. The northeast is far away from Liuheng Island in Putuo District of Zhoushan City and Meishan Island in Beilun District of Ningbo City.

The east is close to the ocean; South of Maotouyang, across Sanmen Bay and across from Sanmen County, Taizhou City; Ninghai County in the west, Xiangshan Peninsula extends into the sea from Zixi and Meilin in Ninghai County to Yicheng in the east. Xiangshan is located in the eastern part of Xiangshan Peninsula, which consists of more than 600 islands and reefs in the eastern part of Xiangshan Peninsula and along the coast. It has the physical characteristics of "surrounded by the sea on three sides and crossing the land on one line".

Climatic characteristics:

Xiangshan county belongs to subtropical maritime monsoon climate zone, with four distinct seasons, no severe cold in winter and no intense heat in summer, long frost-free period (about 248 days per year and 345 days in growth period), abundant sunshine (average annual temperature 16- 17℃), moderate humidity and abundant rainfall (average annual precipitation1400).

However, typhoon activities are frequent, often accompanied by violent storms, and the water source is short and urgent. It is injected into the sea alone, and the engineering storage performance is weak, and the river network density is low, which hides hidden dangers of drought and flood. The annual average rainfall of the county is1.463mm, and the annual average runoff of water resources is 933 million cubic meters. The temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall runoff decreases from northwest to southeast, and it is concentrated in rainy period and typhoon period, showing a double peak type.

The interannual variation is extremely unbalanced, with the maximum amplitude of 2.83. The limitations of engineering geology, topography, submerged migration and economic conditions make it difficult to develop and utilize water resources. ?

Due to different topography, the temperature in the northwest and southeast coastal areas of the county is slightly higher than that in Shipu area in the southeast, and the annual accumulated temperature in the northwest exceeds 6000℃. Even in the long-term drought years, the annual precipitation in the northwest mountainous area is higher than that in Shipu area in the southeast.
