Taizhou now has 21 ports of varied sizes, forming a framework of "Three Bays and Three Harbors" with Haimen Harbor at Taizhou Bay, Jiantiao Harbor at Sanmen Bay and Damaiyu Harbor at Yueqing Bay forming the main harbor areas. Haimen Harbor, with a long history of over 1,000 years, has become the key seaport of Southeast China for foreign trade since the 19th century, and was visited by Japanese trading ships as early as in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279).
