==Geography==

Huadao is a single island with smaller, tertiary jetties and reefs that is part of the [[Trade Islands]] sitting roughly halfway between the equator and [[Australis]] in the [[Ocean of Cathay]]. It has been commonly observed to be shaped like a {{Wp|manta ray}}, with an angular main landmass and a long, thin tail to the northeast forming two partial lagoons. It is characterized by significant hilly rugged landscape in the northwestern interior with flat, forested areas on the southern slope of the island. Prior to its colonization, large parts of Huadao were covered in large deposits of {{wp|guano}}, and many of the forested parts of the island are post-colonial growth.

On the northeastern "tail", several jetties are little more than sand bars, historically creating difficulty for navigation around the island. The island has two main beaches suitable for recreational use: Guano Beach in the western part of Flower City and Crescent Beach in Hookshead on the eastern short of the main landmass.
