Yueqing Bay
People's Republic of China
Yueqing Bay (pinyin: Yuèqīng Wān) is a semi-enclosed bay in southern Zhejiang of China. It lies north of the estuary of the Ou River and along the northern margin of the Wenzhou Bay, bordering Yuhuan to the east and Yueqing to the west, with Wenling at its tip. The mouth of the bay opens southwards and is fringed by the islands of Dongtou. The bay takes its name from Yueqing on its western shore. Originally a tidal channel between Wenzhou Bay and Xuanmen Bay, Yueqing Bay gradually developed into a semi-enclosed harbour after the silting and closure of Xuanmen Harbour. The bay extends approximately 47 km (29 mi) from north to south and up to 15 km (9.3 mi) at its widest point from east to west, covering a sea area of about 469 km2 (181 sq mi), with a total coastline exceeding 220 km (140 mi).
