The nearshore waters of the Leizhou Peninsula are scattered with numerous islands and reefs, where the rare Chinese white dolphins thrive and reproduce healthily.
The population of Chinese white dolphins here has become the second largest in the country. There are only over 6,000 Chinese white dolphins in the world, and a thousand of them gather off Leizhou.
The municipal-level nature reserve for the Chinese white dolphins in Leizhou Bay, Zhanjiang, was established on April 26, 2007, with an area of 2,058 hectares.
