Dongzhai Harbor (东寨港) is located in the northeast of Hainan Province, China.[1][2] This water body is bordered by Haikou's Meilan District at the west and Wenchang at the east.

Mangroves, home to numerous bird species, grow along much of the west and south coasts. The middle of the harbour is occupied by a peninsula extending northward from the southern part. Qu Quay is a village located on the northeastern coast of this peninsula. The town of Puqian is located at the mouth of the harbor on the east side.

A main industry is the farming of oysters, which are extensively cultivated in this shallow harbor.

The Puqian Bridge is being constructed to connect the administrative divisions of Haikou at the west and Wenchang at the east.
