Between Lingshi Jiao and Ya-lung Chiao (Lang-yeh Chiao) (18°12'N., 109°42'E.), which is the S point of an irregular peninsula projecting SE from Hainan Dao, the coast recedes irregularly about 8 miles to the NW and forms Ling-shui Wan. The N and W shores of this bay are low and sandy, with the exception of the section lying 13 miles W of Lingshi Jiao, where a reef-fringed point with some sunken and above-water rocks interrupts the shore. The narrow coastal plain is backed by hills and mountains to the N and W.
