三連嶼

Juguang Township, formerly known as Baiken, is named because "ken" in Fuzhou dialect sounds like "dog," and is also referred to as Baigou. The two islands are shaped like two small dogs lying on the sea, hence Dongdao is called Donggou Island and Xidao is called Xigou Island. In 1971, it was renamed Juguang Township, meaning "Do not forget the place of Juguang," and the names of the islands were changed to Dongju and Xiju. The Juguang Visitor Center is located next to the Fuzheng settlement on Dongju Island.

The Jiuguang Visitor Center is located next to the Fuzheng settlement on Dong Ju Island.
