An Island in Yangjiang's Moyang River

In Yangjiang's Jiangcheng District there is a somewhat finger-shaped island which first caught my attention because of its older buildings. It may be debatable as to whether the island should be considered separate from a larger island surrounded by the Moyang River, and I can't find a name for the specific area on any map. It is crossed by Jiaoqiao New Road (滘桥新路) with Jiao Bridge (滘桥 ) on the western side and Moyang Bridge (漠阳桥) on the eastern side. Of the online maps I examined Sogou provided the most relevant details, so I will link to the location on their map (Chinese) here.

Below are a set of photos in the order they were taken on a walk I took slightly south of Jiaoquiao Road to as far as I could find roads, sometimes just dirt, towards the southern tip of the island. They provide a taste of the contrasts which can be found even in this small area of Yangjiang and detailed context for an upcoming post about one of the many friendly people I met there.
