Dafeng District (simplified Chinese:大丰区;traditional Chinese:大豐區;pinyin:Dàfēng Qū) is a coastaldistrict inYancheng,Jiangsu province, China. Located on the Jiangsu North Plain with a coastline of 112 km (70 mi), Dafeng was historically one of the largest salt-making areas in China and now is famed for its well preserved eco-system and numerous national conservation parks. The district has the largest nationalnature reserve for a rare deer species,Père David's Deer or Milu (麋鹿) in Chinese. It borders theprefecture-level city ofTaizhou to the southwest.[2]
The district nicknamed "the enclave of Shanghai" was a major destination for thesent-down youth from the city. Part of the county was put under Shanghai to establish a municipal farm since 1950, and there are still several farms and two prisons administered by Shanghai at present.[3]
Zhang Jian establishedTs'ao-yen-ch'ang Ta-feng Salt&Cultivation Limited Company (Chinese:草堰場大豐鹽墾股份有限公司;pinyin:Cǎoyànchǎng Dàfēng Yánkěn Gǔfèn Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī) in 1917, at Caoyan, a town of Dafeng nowadays. The northern Dongtai under the CPC became a separate county in 1942. The county was designatedTaipei (臺北) for its location (north [pei] of Dongtai [abbreviated to tai]). Consideringits namesake in Taiwan, it was renamedDafeng, derived from Zhang's company in 1951.[4]
Dafeng borders four counties includingDongtai,Sheyang,Yancheng andXinghua. The county has a coastline of 112 km (70 mi) and a magnificent size of the wetland along its coastline, which is around near 800,000 hectares, sheltering enormous numbers of species of insects, fish, wild animals, and millions of migrating birds.
Upon the completion ofSutong Bridge, the district will significantly reduce the driving time to two hours toShanghai and the south of Jiangsu.
