Chapter 19: Transcription of Yongxing Island

Yongxing Island is also known as "Woody Island" because of the dense forests there. Yongxing Island got its name from the warship that took over the Xisha Islands on November 29, 1946.

Yongxing Island is located at 16 degrees, 50 minutes north latitude and 112 degrees, 20 east longitude. The island is about 1,850 meters long from east to west, about 1,160 meters wide from north to south, and covers an approximate area of 2.1 square kilometers.

Since Yongxing Island happens to be in the middle of the Xisha Islands, it is considered the capital of the Zhongsha Islands in the southwest, and Hainan Province sent a government agency (equivalent to the county level) to reside there.

Yongxing Island is the transportation hub of the Zhongsha Islands in the southwest. It has a modern airport, which can take off and land Boeing 737 aircraft, and the dock can hold five-thousand-ton ships. Other infrastructures and reception facilities are also relatively complete.
