The Dai River (Chinese: 戴河, pinyin: dàihé) is a river in the northern Chinese province of Hebei that empties into the northwest Bohai Gulf on the Qinghuangdao coast. The coast north of the Dai River mouth is generally rocky, while the coast to the south is sandy. A shipyard and a jetty are located on the east bank of the river mouth.[1]
Erosion
Damming and the creation of reservoirs on the rivers emptying into the Qinghuangdao coast has led to severe erosion along the Qinghaungdao coast, especially around river mouths. The erosion around the Dai River has been exacerbated by the presence of the jetty and heavy tourist use of the area, including a pier to the northeast of the river.[1]
