"Daya Bay is a city living on sea resources," said an official of the Daya Bay Tourism Association. "And it decides local key tourism products."

The coastal city has 97 isles of different sizes, with Sanmen Isle and Dongshen Isle being particularly well-known to tourists.

Apart from its natural beauty, Daya Bay will also attract many people interested in its well-preserved indigenous folk customs in seven fishing villages, colorful festivals, and delicious seafood.
