The Mwaning of Zhelangjiao

Influenced by this terrain, the waves and sea winds form a very different scene on both sides of the peninsula. The East China Sea area is always turbulent and Riptide, while the West Sea area is calm all the year round. Compared with each other, it is quite interesting, and the theory of “Zhelang” comes from it.
