Daya Bay is an important bay in the South China Sea of China, located in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. Located between Honghai Bay and Dapeng Bay in the east of Guangdong Province. The total area is 650 square kilometers. The hills around the bay are composed of various metamorphic rocks, purple sandstone, tuff or granite in Paleozoic and Mesozoic. The coastal corridor is tortuous and changeable, forming a hidden situation of "big bay with small bay" in coastal waters.
The main ports are Chimney Bay, Xunliao Port, Fanhe Port, Aotou Port, Xiaogui Bay and Dapeng 'ao. There are many islands in the bay, including Port Island, Central Island, Lajia Island and Toning Island in the northwest and middle. Daya Bay is one of the best bays along the coast of Guangdong Province, among which Dapeng 'ao has the best natural conditions and no siltation, and is an excellent port site for building large-scale deep-water terminals.
The islands of Daya Bay
1, Sanmen Island: Sanmen Island, with an area equivalent to two Gulangyu islands in Xiamen, is the largest island in Daya Bay, facing the surging Pacific Ocean. The unique history of the military restricted zone makes it a rare ecological island, and it has been an important maritime pass and military fortress since the Qing Dynasty. Sanmen Island is rich in fresh water resources, with more than 2,000 species of plants.
2, Zhouchuan Island: Zhouchuan Island, because there is a door-like hole in the island, it was originally navigable, so it is also called "Chuanzhudao". According to legend, the local ancestors, whether fishing or making a living at sea, had to rest under the stone gate after passing through this island and set sail after burning incense and worshipping. It's really an old saying "crossing the continent and crossing the sea". It is impossible to sail in the middle of the mainland now, but the name "Zhouchuandao" has been passed down to this day.
3. Dajia Island: Dajia Island was once an important military frontier of China, covering an area of 2.3 square kilometers. The sea area is wide, the sea water is clear and transparent, the beach is as flat as a mirror, and the sea sand is soft and smooth. It is a natural bathing place with lush vegetation and charming ocean charm. There is a resort on the island with perfect service facilities, which is a good place for vacation, leisure and recuperation.
