Haidao Township is an insular township off the Asian mainland in Xiapu County, Ningde, Fujian, China (PRC).[1] The township is immediately north of present-day Lienchiang County (the Matsu Islands), ROC (Taiwan).[2]

History

On December 15, 1950, the Matsu Administrative Office (Chinese: [[:zh:馬祖行政公署|馬祖行政公署]]) of Fujian Province, Republic of China was established including modern-day Lienchiang County (the Matsu Islands), ROC (Taiwan) as well as islands in present-day Haidao Township including the Sishuang Islands (Chinese: 四礵), Xiyang (Chinese: 西洋), and Fuying (Chinese: 浮鷹) as well as Taishan (Chinese: 台山) in present-day Shacheng, Fuding.[3] [4]

On December 29, 1950, the Daxiyang Island was attacked by Chinese Communist forces and defended by guerrilla forces.

On July 27, 1951, ten motorized with over four hundred Chinese Communist soldiers attacked Xiyang Island. More than sixty guerrilla soldiers defending the island died. Xiyang District (Chinese: 西洋區) leader Li Kuei-Yu (Chinese: 李貴漁) and Sishuang District (Chinese: 四礵區) leader Wang Chen-Chi (Chinese: 王振基) died in a grenade attack. The attacking force retreated.[5] [6]

In early July 1953, Chinese Nationalist guerillas retreated from islands in the Xiyang Island (Chihchutao) area.[7] The area came under the control of Chinese Communists on July 13, 1953.[8] [9]

On November 29, 1954, Haidao District (Chinese: 海岛区) was established.[10] [8]

In 1958, Haidao Commune (Chinese: 海岛公社) was established.[10]

In 1984, Haidao Township (Chinese: 海岛乡) was established.[10]

In August 2012, the Haidao Township, Xiapu County Uninhabited Island Environmental Protection Volunteer Service Unit (Chinese: 霞浦县海岛乡无人岛屿环境保护志愿者服务队), forerunner of the Xiapu County Island Environmental Protection Organization (Chinese: 霞浦县岛屿环境保护协会), was established.[11]

In March 2016, a woman was murdered in Beishuang Village and two suspects were apprehended.[12]

From May 25 to 27, 2018, the 2018 Xiapu, China Ocean Fishing Competition was held in the Sishuang islands.[13]

In late April 2019, representatives from the nearby Dongyin Township's government (ROC) visited Haidao Township.[14] [15]

Geography

Islands in Haidao Township include:[16] [10]
