三連嶼

Juguang Township, formerly known as Baiken, is named after the Fuzhou dialect word "ken," which means "dog," hence also referred to as "White Dog." The two islands resemble two small dogs lying on the surface of the sea, leading to the naming of East Island as Dongqiao Island and West Island as Xiqiao Island. In 1971, it was renamed Juguang Township, meaning "Never forget the place of Juguang," and the islands were renamed as Dongju and Xiju. The Juguang Visitor Center is located next to the Fuzheng settlement on Dongju Island.

Sankuan Islets Introduction

Juguang Township was formerly known as Baiken. The term "ken" is a phonetic mimic of "dog" in Fuzhou dialect, thus it is also called Baijuan. The two islands have mountain shapes resembling two small dogs lying on the surface of 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 names were changed to Dongju and Xiju, with the Juguang Visitor Center located next to the Fuzheng settlement on Dongju Island.
