It belongs to the Yongle Archipelago of the Xisha Islands . Like the entire archipelago, the island is administered by the People's Republic of China as part of the city of Sansha , Hainan Province , but claimed by Vietnam and the Republic of China on Taiwan as part of the territorial conflicts in the South China Sea .

Most of the island's area is covered with vegetation, including a few trees. The island is inhabited by around 100 fishermen, all of whom come from the city of Qionghai .

Administrative structure

The island belongs to the village of Yagong (鸭 公 村) of the city of Sansha , whose seat of government is on Yagong Dao and which also includes the islands of Quanfu Dao , Xianshe Yu , Yin Yu and Yinyu Zai .
