- Introduction to attractions -
Dapeng Bay was called "Datan" during the Japanese occupation. After World War II, the Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan and established units such as the Air Force Junior School and the Air Force Staff College here. It was renamed "Dapeng Bay" in the hope that Air Force athletes would "spread their wings and fly thousands of miles". The water area surrounded by the inland sea of Dapeng Bay is the lagoon, covering an area of 532 hectares. In the early days, there were oyster fields all over the place. Today, there are only a few sails. The only outlet of the lagoon is where the Mirs Bay Cross-Sea Bridge is located.
