History
editIn 1991, the island was rented to Hong Kong businessmen to be made into a resort, and a dock and several unfinished buildings were built.[1]
In January 2019, notice was given of the navigational hazard of the ship Xinhangjun (鑫航君) which sunk in the waters near the island.[11]
On June 16, 2019, a wind power plant on the island started operation.[5]
Economy
editThe sea surrounding the island produces Chinese white shrimp, croceine croaker, ribbonfish, swimming crab and lobster. Stone buildings on the island are used by fishermen as temporary residences.[1]
