Three Islands Introduction
Jugang Township, formerly known as Baiken, derives its name from the Fuzhou dialect where "ken" sounds like "dog," leading to its alternative name, Baiquan (White Dog). The two islands are shaped like two small dogs lying on the sea, with the eastern island referred to as Dongquan Island and the western island as Xiquan Island. In 1971, it was renamed Jugang Township, meaning "Do not forget in Ju," and the eastern and western islands were renamed Dongju and Xiju, respectively. The Jugang Visitor Center is located next to the Fuzheng settlement on Dongju Island.
