Is Qixinghai the Same Place as Dara Sakor? Who Is the Developer?
Yes, it is the same place. Dara Sakor is on the Gulf of Thailand coast of Koh Kong Province in southwest Cambodia. Qixinghai is the earlier Chinese name for it. The Chinese name was standardised to match the English Dara Sakor, the Khmer តារាសាគរ and the highway signs; the place is unchanged, and project names inside the area, such as Soksan Sakor Land, are unchanged too (F-153). The official materials give the developer's company name as Coastal City Development Group Co., Ltd., with the brand name COASTAL CITY GROUP (F-002).
Three names, one place
- English: Dara Sakor. This has not changed.
- Chinese: 达拉沙果. It has been the standard Chinese name since 2026-10-28 (F-153). Before that, Chinese speakers often wrote Qixinghai, and some English sources transliterate that as Qixinghai. A search for either lands here.
- Khmer: តារាសាគរ. Dara means "star" and Sakor means "sea" (F-151).
The official positioning is the Cambodia-China Comprehensive Investment and Development Pilot Zone and a coastal tourism and resort destination, located in Koh Kong Province, Cambodia (F-003, F-004). The official figure for the planned total area is 360 km² (F-010).
How facilities and projects are named
Facility names follow the place name: where the English is "Dara Sakor X", the Chinese is written 达拉沙果X, for example Dara Sakor International Airport and Dara Sakor International Port (F-153). Project names do not change with it (F-153).
The project I am responsible for has the full English name Soksan Sakor Land (Residential Land) Phase I (30 ha) (F-036). "Residential Land", "Phase I" and "30 ha" all stay in the name: Soksan Sakor Land is the umbrella brand of the larger project, with more than one product under it, and the suffix tells them apart (F-036).
Some people search in Chinese for “海湖度假区土地” (land in the Haihu resort); that means the residential plots for sale in this phase. Prices and payment plans are on How Much Is Land in Dara Sakor?.
Who is the developer
As of 2026-11, the company name used in the group's official materials is Coastal City Development Group Co., Ltd.; from 2026-10 the outward-facing brand is COASTAL CITY GROUP (F-002). In contracts and legal contexts the full company name is used; new materials and end credits use COASTAL CITY GROUP (F-002).
A lot of what is written online about this place dates from earlier years, and accounts of the developer and the name differ. Go by the materials the group issued in 2026, which name the company above. Every number I publish on this site carries a source code so you can check it.
The two questions customers ask most
- "The name changed. Is it still the same land?" Yes. The location, the project and the contracting party are not changed by the standardised Chinese name (F-153).
- "Why is it written 达拉沙果 now?" The Chinese name was standardised to match the English Dara Sakor, the Khmer តារាសាគរ and the highway signs (F-153).
