Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Getting to
know Sansha, youngest and southernmost Chinese city developing fast
Sansha’s
main island, Woody Island, is located off the coast of China, Vietnam, and
Taiwan. It is the smallest prefecture in terms of population and geometry but
is the largest when it comes to its territory, which includes much disputed
Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands.
The
status of the island was upgraded to prefecture level in 2012, most likely to
administer other southern islands, which caused criticism from the neighboring countries
that also claim the sovereignty of those islands, namely the Philippines, Vietnam
and Taiwan.
The
island is occupied only by 1,000 or so residents but it is heavily invested and
promoted as dream place to live in or visit in China.
Enjoy
checking the websites and articles about this small in size but large in
territory island.
