You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 75.101.128.0/17 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:39, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jintang Island''' (金塘岛) is an island in the [[Zhoushan]] prefecture-level city in [[China]]'s eastern [[Zhejiang]] [[province of China|province]]. It has a population of about 41700.<ref name="info">[http://www.zhoushan.cn/pub/zsxww/zssq/ftrq/zsdz/t20030714_92125.htm Jintang Island Information Page]((dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes )) Zhoushan Web (2003-7-14)((in lang|zh))</ref>

It is one of the closest islands to the continental shore of Zhejiang, being only ((convert|3.6|km|abbr=off)) from the southern Ningbo Beilun port<ref name="legends">[https://web.archive.org/web/20070223082610/http://www.zsgj.gov.cn/wstd/list.asp?id=876 Jintang Island legends] ((in lang|zh))</ref> and ((convert|6.25|km|abbr=off)) from the eastern [[Zhoushan Island]].<ref name="info"/> Jintang is Zhoushan's  fourth largest island with an area of ((convert|76.4|km2|abbr=on)).<ref name="legends"/>

== History ==

The name Jintang Island is literally translated as "Golden Pond Island".

It derived its name from the two ponds built on the western side of the island by the locals to prevent erosion of the western coastline. The soil of the inner pond coastline became fertile and rich in minerals, bringing about bountiful harvests to the locals who dub the island "Golden Pond" (金塘).<!-- I'm not very learned in Geography. It has something to do with the lower-lying area of a water/river source being fertile with minerals and sediments? No idea how a pond is connected. Needs more geography jargon for clarification. --> <ref name="info"/>

== Industries ==
((refimprove|date=December 2012))
Jintang Island is largely an agricultural community. Its thriving industries include farming, fishing and furniture production.

It is most famous for the production of [[Jintang Plums]] (金塘李), a local fruit. The fruit has received a number of awards and accolades, earning a Zhejiang Province High Quality Agricultural Product Exhibition Silver Award in 1998 and subsequently a Gold Award in 1999 when the island was also conferred the namesake of "Jintang Plum Township (金塘李之乡)" by the provincial government.

Jintang Island coastal waters produce a large number of marine products, such as squid, cuttlefish, fish, and more.

== Transportation ==

Transport between Jintang and Zhoushan is made by boat.

In April 2006 work began for the construction of two bridges, the [[Xihoumen Bridge]] (西堠门大桥) and [[Jintang Bridge]] (金塘大桥) connecting Zhoushan Archipelago with the country's continental area, an improvement long-awaited by Zhoushan people. They are scheduled to be completed in 2008.

The two bridges are the second phase of a huge "continent-island joint project" launched by Zhoushan in 1999 to link the archipelago with the mainland through five bridges. Construction of the other three bridges have been completed.<ref>((cite web

=== Xihoumen Bridge ===
((main article|Xihoumen Bridge))
The 5.3-kilometer-long Xihoumen Bridge, linking Jintang and [[Cezi]], two major islands of the archipelago, is a suspension bridge consisting of a 2.6-kilometer sea-crossing bridge and 2.7-kilometer side joint sections on both ends, costing 2.48 billion yuan (US$299.87 million). It allows the passage of ships of 30,000 dead weight tonnage.

===Jintang Bridge===
The Jintang Bridge, linking Jintang Island and [[Zhenhai District|Zhenhai]] (on [[Ningbo]] prefecture), will be ((convert|27|km|abbr=off)) long. The 7-billion-yuan project consists of an ((convert|18.5|km|mi|adj=on|lk=out|abbr=off)) sea bridge and joint sections totaling ((convert|8.5|km|abbr=off)).<ref>
((Structurae|id=20015468|title=Jintang Bridge))</ref>

On 27 March 2008, there has been an accident involving a [[Taizhou, Zhejiang|Taizhou]] [[Cargo ship|freighter]] that hit the bridge construction site. Two pieces of reinforced concrete from the bridge weighing 3000 [[ton]]s each got stuck in the cockpit of the freighter, which was moving at a fast pace. The accident will result in further delay to the completion of its construction.<ref>
