Dongshan Pearl Island
Introduction Dongshan Pearl Island — an oasis in Shenzhen, a leisure and experience destination for pearl culture. Located on the eastern seashore of Nan'ao, Dapeng, Shenzhen, this tranquil place sits at the foot of the lush, green, and fragrant "Seven Fairy Maidens Mountain" scenic area. It leans against the "Seven Fairy Maidens Mountain" to the south, faces a quiet bay to the north, stretches toward the vast sea to the east, and looks across to the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. It is an ideal destination for travel and vacation. Covering an area of 250,000 square meters with over 2,500 acres of pearl farming waters, Dongshan Pearl Island boasts a calm and clear bay to the north, where the water quality is pristine — making it a natural haven for cultivating seawater pearls. The seawater pearls produced here are large, well-rounded, with few flaws, high luster, fine texture, and uniform color, belonging to the premium "Nanzhu" (Southern Pearl) variety. As the ancient saying goes, "Western pearls are not as good as Eastern pearls, and Eastern pearls are not as good as Southern pearls," which speaks to the long-standing reputation of Nanzhu. Historical records indicate that Dongshan Pearl Island has been a major pearl-producing site since the Five Dynasties period, highlighting its long history in pearl cultivation.
