Welcome to China

It is the only site along China’s coast where female sea turtles come ashore to lay eggs, earning it the local name "Turtle Bay." Historically, it has been a key nesting ground for sea turtles. The reserve is also recognized as a Guangdong Province Youth Science Education Base and a National Science Education Base.
