The Liu'ao Peninsula (六鳌半岛) is located in the southern part of China's Fujian Province's coast. Administratively, it is incorporated as Liu'ao Town (六鳌镇) within Fujian's Zhangpu County. ==Geography== Liu'ao Peninsula is about 12 km long, stretched along the north-south axis. In the north, it is connected to the mainland by a fairly narrow isthmus. Its western coast is separated from Fujian's mainland by the shallow Jiuzhen Bay; its eastern coast and southern coasts face the open sea (Taiwan Strait). Most of the peninsula is flat and sandy. However, it also incorporates several rocky hills. It is the outlines of these hills which may have given the peninsula its name, which means "six ''ao''". ==History== During the Hongwu Emperor reign, a fortress was constructed at the foot of one of the hills of the Liu'ao peninsula, a bit inland from the main business district of today's Liu'ao town. This was part of a concerted program to fight the ''wokou'' pirates; other fortresses built at the same time period include Chongwu (in Hui'an County) and Pucheng (in Cangnan County). While little remains of the old Liu'ao fortress, a section of its wall has been restored, and is preserved as a historic site called Liu'ao Old Walled Town (六鳌古城). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liu'ao, Fujian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
