port of Guayaquil

The port of Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest seaport. It faces the Pacific Ocean and backs to Mount Santa Ana. The nearby island of Pune serves as a natural barrier to protect the harbour from storms. There is a dock to the south, more than 900 meters long. In the harbor, ships from different parts of the world are moored, flying various flags. The port railway leads to Quito, the capital, and a series of highways connect Quito with other cities in the country. Bananas, cocoa, coffee, cotton and other products from all over the country are collected and distributed here. Guayaquil also played an important role in the history of friendly exchanges between the peoples of China and Ecuador. As early as the 18th century, Chinese clothing, textiles and other goods were transported to Ecuadorian cities through Guayaquil. In August 1978, the Chinese freighter Jialing River arrived here for the first time. Most of the imports and exports of the two countries are also transshipped through Guayaquil.

Coat of arms of Ecuador

Coat of arms of Ecuador

The coat of arms of Ecuador, adopted in 1900, resembles the coat of arms of Colombia. A fierce "American Condor" vulture spreads its wings above the national emblem. It is Ecuador's national bird, symbolizing sovereignty and independence. Ecuador's national emblem has a unique design concept, fully demonstrating the national flavor: Ecuador's highest peak, Chimborazo Mountain, is covered with snow. Against the blue sky, it stands towering on the Pacific coast. The trees at the foot of the mountain are verdant. A big river winds out from the depths of the mountains and gradually flows into the blue sea. An ecuadorian pride in south america's first steam-powered ocean-going vessel lies at sea. Above the snowy peak, a Mayan culture symbol of the "sun in May" radiant. On both sides of the sun marked with March, April, May, June month symbols "Zodiac twelve officials", representing the Ecuadorian people in 1845 to maintain national independence against foreign invasion of the difficult years. The bar at the bottom represents the national institution of the republic, a symbol of justice and authority. As coffee is consumed by people all over the world, the world coffee industry is moving towards mass production mode, and San Cristobal's small and uncertain coffee industry is in trouble, and it is likely that it will eventually be abandoned without profit. It wasn't until the early 1990s that the Gonzalez family bought Hassenda Coffee Plantation. The local microclimate created by the Humboldt Current, intense equatorial sunlight, and rapid temperature changes (43 ° C at sea level and 10 ° C to 16 ° C at 275 meters above sea level) provided unique favorable conditions for the Gonzalez family to expand coffee plantations. The Gonzalez family doubled the size of the coffee plantation by clearing the early land.

Due to the unique role of the Galapagos Islands in the historical process, the Ecuadorian government has designated the islands as a national park, no longer allowing land to be reclaimed for new agricultural land, and prohibiting the introduction and use of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other chemical agents, so the coffee produced in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as a natural product. Thomas was born in 1487 on the banks of the Duro River in the Spanish province of Soria. He was the fourth bishop of Panama at that time. He was ordered to Peru. When his ship set out from Panama on February 23, under the impact of a strong current, they were carried to an unknown sea in the outer ocean. On March 10, an island in the Galapagos Islands was discovered. With only two days of fresh water left on board, the sailors landed in lifeboats and found plenty of seals, turtles, giant tortoises that could carry people and viper-like iguanas on the island, but they could not find fresh water, so they headed for another larger island more than 20 kilometers away. As there was still no wind, it took them days to get there, the water ran out quickly, and they had to starve, including the horses on board.

When Thomas and his crew landed on the island, they frantically searched for water and were so thirsty that they squeezed juice from the fat petals of cacti to drink. Finally found water in a ravine in a rock. Thomas attributed it to God because it was Good Friday and they had celebrated Mass piously before setting out in search of water. But Thomas would never have known that the island they landed on was the only one in the Galapagos that had plenty of fresh water. It was San Cristobal today
