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.

At the mouth of the harbor, there is an island called Beigangdao (literally "north port island"). It contains a few villages including Hou Xi Village. The middle of the harbour is occupied by a peninsula extending from the west coast.

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.

Located within the harbour is the Dongzhai Port Nature Reserve.

Mangroves grow along much of the west and south coasts and are home to numerous bird species.

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

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