The Qiongzhou Strait is a Chinese strait that separates the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong from the island province of Hainan, connecting the Gulf of Tonkin to the South China Sea. It is approximately 30 km wide and has a maximum water depth of 120 meters. The strait is susceptible to closure during strong typhoons and was once home to whales and dugongs. The strait has been crossed by the People's Liberation Army and is currently traversed by a ferry that carries rail cars and vehicles. A bridge or tunnel has been discussed as a potential solution to provide a more reliable crossing.learn more on wikipedia
