Daya Bay

It is bordered by Shenzhen's Dapeng Peninsula to the west and Huizhou to the north and east.

The bay was a hideout of pirates[2] in the 1920s, when the Republic of China government was occupied with conducting the Northern Expedition.

Other species, such as humpback whales, also historically migrated to Daya Bay.

All of these were wiped out by Japanese whalers established whaling stations on various sites on Chinese coasts including at nearby Daya Bay.

[6][7] Critically endangered Chinese white dolphins and occasional whales such as humpbacks have been confirmed in the bay in recent years.
