三連嶼

Juguang Township, formerly known as Baiken, gets its name from the Fuzhou dialect where "Ken" sounds like "dog," and is also referred to as Baigou. The two islands resemble two small dogs lying on the surface of the sea, with the eastern island known as Dongqu Island and the western island as Xiqu Island. In 1971, it was renamed to Juguang Township, which means "Do not forget in Juguang," and the eastern and western islands were renamed to Dongju and Xiju, respectively. The Juguang Visitor Center is located next to the Fuzheng settlement on Dongju Island.
