Leizhou Peninsula is a landmass in southern Guangdong that lies between the Gulf of Tonkin and the South China Sea. It stretches northward and is shaped by its coastal location and varied terrain.
France controlled the territory starting in 1898 until Japan occupied it during World War II. This period of external influence shaped the region's development.
Fishing communities dot the coastline and shape daily life around the water and its seasons. The people here have built their routines and traditions around the rhythm of the sea.
The region has a tropical climate with warm summers and mild winters, making it visitable throughout the year with different conditions. The cooler months offer more comfortable conditions for exploring the area.
The landscape contains extinct volcanic cones rising above the surrounding terrain and showing the region's volcanic past. These geological formations continue northward into Hainan Island.
