All
You
Need
to
Know
About
China
Port
in
Karachi
There
is
a
never-ending
list
of
places
in
Karachi
that
you
can
visit
for
leisure,
relaxation,
and
recreation.
The
city
is
widely
famous
for
its
coastal
belt
among
tourists.
From
Sea
View
Beach
to
Port
Grand
and
Manora
Island,
the
largest
city
of
Pakistan
hosts
a
number
of
outing
spots
from
where
you
can
enjoy
the
mesmerising
views
of
the
Arabian
Sea
coastline.
Named
after
the
country’s
friendly
neighbour—’China
Port’
is
yet
another
remarkable
addition
to
the
list
of
coastal
attractions
in
the
city.
So,
what
can
you
expect
from
your
visit
to
China
Port
in
Karachi
and
where
is
it
located?
To
answer
all
your
questions
related
to
this
fascinating
place,
we
have
put
together
this
blog,
so
make
sure
to
read
it
till
the
end.
WHY
IS
IT
CALLED
‘CHINA
PORT’?
China
port
is
a
breakwater
China
Port
is
a
man-made
breakwater
to
protect
the
port
area
from
lethal
sea
waves.
China
Port
is
not
actually
a
port,
instead,
it
is
a
breakwater
to
protect
the
port
of
Karachi
from
the
lethal
forces
of
ocean
waves.
The
artificial
breakwater
was
built
by
‘China’
for
the
protection
of
the
‘port’
of
the
city,
so
these
are
the
two
key
factors
that
have
inspired
the
name
of
this
place.
Its
unique
location
has
made
it
a
part
of
Oyster
Rocks—Karachi’s
very
famous
series
of
small
islands,
located
near
the
coast.
WHY
WAS
CHINA
PORT
BANNED
FOR
TOURISTS
IN
2018?
In
mid-2018,
pictures
and
videos
of
China
Port
started
to
make
rounds
on
social
media
all
of
a
sudden.
After
being
discovered
by
Karachittes,
the
place
was
thronged
by
massive
crowds
of
sightseers
almost
every
day.
However,
as
discussed
above,
China
Port
wasn’t
primarily
designed
as
a
tourist
attraction,
so
there
weren’t
any
adequate
arrangements
to
handle
the
trash
of
such
large
mobs.
As
a
result
of
which,
in
only
a
few
months,
the
beauty
of
this
man-made
breakwater
was
ruined
as
piles
of
trash
littered
the
entire
place.
And,
this
could
be
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
behind
the
closure
of
this
recreation
spot,
which
remained
inaccessible
by
the
general
public
for
around
three
years
up
until
now.
