That's the headline in the news report in Xinhua. In the South China Morning Post (paid; no link) they refer to it as Lingding Yang -- the bay at the mouth of the Pearl River estuary. Whichever, whatever, it is otherwise known to blissfully unaware English-speaking landlubbers as that nameless stretch of water between Hong Kong and Macao.
Portly, 41-year old Mr Zhang dropped off the side of a boat close by Tai Po Pier, Lantau, on Thursday morning and then proceeded to swim to Hak Sa Beach, Macao. It took the redoubtable Mr Zhang ten and a half hours to swim the 35km. Awesome.
