Basic information Population: 3,14 people, February, 17 (25) Area: 677 .68 square kilometers, December, 16 (24) Location: 14 degrees 44 minutes east longitude and 41 degrees 46 minutes north latitude Introduction to Hakodate, an important port city in the southwest of Hokkaido, Japan. Located in Hakodate Bay in the south of Dudao Peninsula, facing Tsutsugaru Strait. It covers an area of 347.8 square kilometers and has a population of 318, (1986). Located on a flat sandbar, it belongs to Hakodate Plain. There is Hakodate Mountain in the east of the Bay, with Hakodate Port in front of it. The harbor is a natural harbor and the gateway to Hokkaido. The two peninsulas of Matsumae and Kameda block the northwest monsoon, making this city a mild city in Hokkaido in winter. Formerly known as Boxuan, it was the exile place of abandoned nobles and criminals in this state in the 13th century. During the Edo period, immigrants began to settle down and engaged in fishing and agriculture. In 1854, it was opened to the outside world, and its business was booming. It was once known as "Nagasaki in the North". It was renamed in 1869. Regular routes were opened to Tokyo in 1873, opened to traffic with Otaru Railway in 194, and was designated as an important national port in 197. The train ferry from 198 to Aomori set sail, and the traffic status became increasingly important. It became the largest city in northeastern Japan in the 192s. The city was established in 1922, and its status was relatively reduced due to the economic development of Hokkaido cities, especially the successive development of ports. The population of the tertiary industry accounts for 7% of the total employed people. Coastal fisheries are developed. Vegetables, fruits and rice are mainly planted nearby. The food industry, which is dominated by aquatic products processing, is the most important, accounting for 53% of the total industrial output value; There are also shipbuilding, machinery and textile industries related to fisheries, which are distributed in coastal bays. There is a submarine railway tunnel (Qinghai-letter submarine tunnel) connected with Aomori in Honshu Island. The Qinghai-Han Cross-Harbour Tunnel was officially opened to traffic in 1988, with a total length of 53.85 kilometers. There are scenic spots such as Wulingguo Park. Namdaemun Hakodate is the south gate of Hokkaido. Like Yokohama and Nagasaki, it is also a port trading city with a long history. One of the first architectural styles in Japan Harbor, the other is Shimonoseki. A port city is always accompanied by the tradition of foreign nationals' exchanges and trade, and here is no exception. Many past events are like the Tsutsugaru Strait flowing at the entrance of Hakodate, drifting from the Sea of Japan to the Pacific Ocean. In summer, 1, squid-catching lights decorate the strait, and in winter, 1, bright lights outline Hakodate. The story of the merchants in China, together with the Russian and British businessmen, is the story of Hakodate today. In January, I came here and finally set foot on the road of this past. Although it is far less prosperous than many big cities, everyone has his own life, and Hakodate also has its own color and charm. Founded in 1859, it is one of the earliest foreign trade ports in Japan. The whole city is full of exotic atmosphere, including the old British Consulate, the Tang Dynasty Pavilion, the Greek Orthodox Church and so on. There is a lively morning market in the bay area near the morning market railway station, with more than 36 shops lined up. The seafood traded is fresh goods that have just been caught. There are many varieties on the streets of Hakodate, such as squid, sea fans, fish eggs and crucian carp. A 5-minute walk from the station can see a big ship tied to the shore. This is the "Mozhou Maru", a connecting ship between Aomori and Hokkaido in Honshu at that time, and now it is used as a memorial ship for people to visit. There are also restaurants and cafes at the bow, where you can have a rest while overlooking the harbor. There are many old buildings in the old city area, including the old Hakodate guild hall with national important cultural relics, the former British consulate with a European-style tea room, the orthodox church in Hakodate and the temple in East Honganji, which left a unique atmosphere of blending Japanese culture and western culture. In addition, in the coastal area of the remote Hakodate, there are large shopping malls converted from the old red brick warehouses, as well as the Jinsen Oriental Museum and the Hakodate Beer Hall restaurant. As early as 1858, Hakodate, Yokohama and Nagasaki were identified as international trade ports, and trade activities began in June 1859. Since then, with the prosperity of foreign trade in Hakodate street trams, western culture has entered Hakodate. Hakodate Mountain, erupted from Hakodate volcano, is composed of the main peaks of Yudian Mountain, Yamatonokusushi, Guanyin, Aidang, Qimian and Dizang. The highest point is 334 meters, and the peak is about 6 kilometers around. It looks like a sleeping cow, so it is called "Woniu Mountain". Hakodate Mountain is known as the "treasure house of plants". There are more than 65 kinds of plants growing on the hillside, which are lush and green. From the top of the hill, you can see the Tudao Mountains, Juyue and the hilly areas along Zhinei Puwan, as well as the fan-shaped Hakodate City. At night, when climbing the mountain, the lights of Hakodate City, like countless gems dotted on the fan, are shining, colorful and radiant. The traffic in the center of the city is like a flowing river of light. On the deep blue sea of the harbor, there are thousands of lights, colorful and jumping with the waves. This is the "Hakodate Night Scene", which is known as one of the three night scenes in the world. Therefore, Hakodate is also known as "Hong Kong of Japan" and has become a tourist attraction. Hakodate Mountain is the only mountain in Hakodate City, which is located at Shajing Point (sandbar, the island adjacent to the mainland and the big island) at the western end of Hakodate City, Hokkaido, Japan. The altitude is 334m, and Fiona Fang is about 9km. It looks like a cow lying down, so it is also called Woniu Mountain. There is a lookout platform at the top of the mountain. From the foot of the mountain, there are Hakodate Mountain ropeway and ordinary roads (ordinary cars can't pass at night and in winter). During the day, on a sunny day, needless to say, the Hakodate City Street can be overlooked even by shimokita peninsula, which is sandwiched between Tsugaru Strait. At night, in the middle of the Shajing promontory, the shining street lights in the slender city streets contrast with the dark sea, and the oil lamps (fish gathering lamps) lit on the fishing boats for fighting cuttlefish are woven into beautiful night scenes, which is very famous. It is generally believed that if you find the words "like" and "heart" in the night scene, you will become happy. Together with Hong Kong and Naples (Italy), it is called "the three night scenes of the world". Hokkaido Heritage About 3, years ago, Hakodate Mountain was both a volcano and an island. The tidal flow in Tsutsugaru Strait, volcanic ash from Hakodate Mountain, sandy soil from Kameda River and shallow blockage in the water have formed the same sand neck headland adjacent to the land. According to the law of Hakodate Mountain Fortress Zone (Meiji 32), the construction of the fortress began in 1898, and by 195, 17 facilities such as battery, power station and observation station were built on Hakodate Mountain (Tsutsugaru Fortress). At the same time, as Hakodate Mountain became a fortress zone and all the mountains became military secrets, Hakodate Mountain disappeared from the map. Needless to say, the survey of Hakodate Mountain, that is, the entry of ordinary people into the mountain and the photography, sketching and discussion about Hakodate Mountain are severely restricted. After the war, Tsugaru Fortress was demolished by the US military, and ordinary citizens could enter. At present, the site of the first battery in Yudian Mountain is in danger of collapse, and it is forbidden to enter. However, part of the remaining traces of facilities can also be visited. At the same time, because the nature of Hakodate Mountain has been protected for decades, Ezohikigaeru, who is now considered to be on the verge of extinction, lives in Hakodate Mountain (it is forbidden to collect trees and grass flowers in Hakodate Mountain). In 21, it was designated as a Hokkaido heritage. [Edit this paragraph] At that time, the historical Ba Port was called "Ba Port" because of the shape of the harbor, and the street benefited by the good harbor was proud to be the gate of Hokkaido. When Hokkaido was also known as the "land of shrimp", there were frequent trade exchanges with various places. The origin of the place name of Hakodate can be traced back to the third year of Hende (1454). At that time, Tsutsugaru Masato Kono built a mansion in a fishing village called Uskesi (Ainu language means the end of the bay). The shape of the mansion was quite like a box, so it was named "Box Pavilion". In the second year of Meiji (1869), Xiayi changed its name to Hokkaido and Hakodate. Now, from December 1st, 24, Hakodate merged with neighboring Toi-machi, Huishan-machi, Tofahua Village and Namobu-machi in the eastern part of Tojima, becoming the third largest city in Hokkaido after Sapporo City and Asahikawa City, with a population of 3,, starting a new starting point. Although Hokkaido is the hometown of slave-loving people, there were explorers' footprints as early as the 7th century A.D., and lovers began to spread Buddhism in the 9th century. As late as the 16th century in Hakodate Bay Area, due to the expansion of shogunate Matsumae, the southern tip of Hokkaido became Japanese land. However, it was not until 1869 (Meiji 2) that the crusade against the shogunate ended in Hakodate, and the development history of Hokkaido officially began, and the era of Meiji Restoration in Japan was opened. Wuling Guo, located in the east of Hakodate, was the decisive battle place in Meiji 2 (Hakodate War). In fact, the development of Hokkaido after 1869 was prompted by Japan's urgent need for resources, and another purpose was to guard against the Soviet Union. Because since the Edo era, Russians have often crossed the border of northern Japan. In 1859, Russia sent missionaries to Hokkaido to establish a church. The Greek Orthodox Church in Hakodate was a product of that time. Since ancient times, Hakodate, the oldest city in Hokkaido, has been the only place for Japan's Honshu Island to travel to Hokkaido. It was turned into a port in 1741, and in 1859, it became the first international trade port in Japan together with Yokohama and Nagasaki, which made Hakodate come into contact with western culture earlier than other cities in Hokkaido, and was more international in color.
