The ancient ferry by the Han River in Jinjiang country, Quanzhou, was the entrance to the old Coral Tree Port. Its original name was Daiyu. In the Tang Dynasty, the ferry was open to the outside world. What people see today is the ruin of the old ferry built by a navigator Lin Luan in the tang Dynasty.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, to facilitate vessels at home and abroad to enter the Han River and the Coral Tree Port, a navigation mark Liusheng Tower was built nearby Jinchai Mountain in the Shihu. The ferry then became the only place to use stone tower as the navigation mark in the history of navigation. In the early years of The Qing Dynasty, the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland became closer and ferries became a major channel between the two. The ancient ferry and the stone ferry inscription people see today are the evidence of the communication among the Han River, Lugang, Jinjiang and Taipei.
