Pre-liberation:
Was a military position of the Japanese army
In the minds of many people in Haikou, the concept of the park began with the Haikou People's Park.
Many of the old Haikou people have maintained the habit of going to the People's Park for exercise, walking, because the park is built on Danying Mountain, for which many people also call it "Danying Mountain Park".
But it is this small hill less than 30 meters above sea level is one of Hainan's ancient cultural attractions.
Meng Lesheng, former vice chairman of the Municipal Social Science Federation, said that the original water system along the Danying Mountain, and it is one of the 26 meters above sea level of the hill, in the Ming Dynasty, this has been one of the important settlement of Haikou people, commonly known as the "big and small Yindu", inhabited by the villagers of the three villages of the Bo Bo Wen, Botao, Baochao, five bridges connecting the area with the outside world traffic. The five bridges connect this area to the outside world.
During the Qing Dynasty, it was one of the harbor ports of Haikou, where ships were often moored.
Of the three villages that lived in Daying Mountain during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Bo Boon Village had a well called Tofu Spring where the water was so clean and pure that it could be used to make fragrant and tender tofu.
"Nowadays, it is difficult to find more detailed historical materials depicting the geographic conditions of the area at that time, but some of the antiquities scattered in the area and the written records of 'four temples, three nunneries, seven wells, and five bridges' reflect the bustling scene of this area of Daying Mountain in those days. " Meng Lesheng said, in the villagers gathered on the Danying Mountain, the distribution of Fubo, Guan Sheng, Ban Shuai, He Gong and other four temples, and now there are Ban Shuai Temple, "Germany with the dome" of an ancient monument, Ban Shuai Temple, the front of the wall, pack monument tortoise, and so on.
And in the small area of this mountain, the original not only have the temple, three villages also have Guangji, Jixi, Doumu and other three temples, the temple and the resident monks.
In 1939, the Japanese army attacked the sea, and ordered a deadline to drive away the residents on the Danying Mountain.
Daeyoungsan became a base for Japanese anti-aircraft guns and a position to defend the military airport.
Some of the villagers of Bo Boon Village chose to live in the area of Bo Ai Nan in Haikou, which is not far away from Daying Mountain, while the other part moved to Longtuipo, and they have not been able to move back to Daying Mountain since then.
In the three villages of Daying Mountain, until after the liberation of some villagers still live here, and then due to the *** land acquisition to build a park, all the villagers were relocated to form the current Daying Village, the original villagers' houses, temples, etc. have been demolished one after another.
