About this site
Dafu West (大福西) is a disused small harbour west of Dafu fishing port on the south side of Xiaoliuqiu. A gentle sand slope at 3–5 m leads over a large rock to more sand at 8 m and boulders at about 15 m. The harbour is calm unless a south wind blows, and around fifteen resident turtles are seen here.
