Dapeng Bay is located along the southwest coast of Taiwan, at the junction of Donggang Town and Linbian Township in Pingtung County
It is close to Provincial Highway 17
It is an inland island lake and is characterized by its unique natural lagoon landscape
The formation of Dapeng Bay is due to the fact that the Linbian River and the Donggang River flowed into the bay area in the early years
Over time, the two rivers carried sediment from the upper reaches into the sea
Then, through ocean currents and monsoon drift, a sand spit deposition terrain was formed, and the Nanping Peninsula was born, separating the open sea and inland waters
The water area enclosed by the inland sea is the lagoon, covering an area of 532 hectares
In the early days, oyster fields were everywhere
Today, there are dots of sail shadows
The only outlet of the lagoon is where the Pengwan Cross-Sea Bridge is located
Aerial view of this bay area resembles a pouch
Therefore, the Dapeng Bay lagoon is called a single-mouthed sack-shaped lagoon
Dapeng Bay is the southern boundary of mangrove distribution in Taiwan
At present, there are three places with more scenic and banded mangroves: one is the mangroves in the Dapeng Bay waterway, the second is the Kandelia candel along the embankment of Jialian Road, and the third is the mangroves in the river channels in Donggang Town
At present, the Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area is planned to have three major types: ‘military historical relics’, ‘water activities’, and ‘land activities’
