三連嶼

Juguang Township, formerly known as Baiken, got its name because "ken" in Fuzhou dialect sounds similar to the word for "dog," hence it was also called "White Dog." The two islands resemble two small dogs lying on the surface of the sea, leading to the names Dong Island (East Dog Island) and Xi Island (West Dog Island). In 1971, it was renamed Juguang Township, derived from the phrase "Never forget in Juguang," and was also renamed Dongju and Xiju. The Juguang Visitor Center is located near the Fuzheng settlement on Dongju Island.

Sanyan Islets Introduction

Juguang Township, formerly known as Baiken, gets its name from the Fuzhou dialect word for "dog," which sounds similar to "ken," leading to the nickname "White Dog." The two islands' mountain shapes resemble two small dogs lying on the sea, which is why the eastern island is called Dongquan Island and the western island is called Xiquan Island. In 1971, it was renamed Juguang Township, meaning "Do Not Forget Juguang," and the eastern and western islands were renamed Dongju and Xiju, respectively. The Juguang Visitor Center is located beside the Fuzheng settlement on Dongju Island.
