Nanri Island[1] (Chinese:), Nanjisü,[2] Nanjih, historically known as Nanni Shan (Chinese: 南匿山) and Nanri Shan (Chinese: 南日山), is a small island off the coast of China. Nanri Town (Chinese: 南日镇) is an administrative unit of Xiuyu District, Putian, Fujian, People's Republic of China which includes 111 islands and islets.[3] [4] The island has more than 50 thousand inhabitants.[5]

History

In October 1952, the island was the site of the Battle of Nanri Island between the People's Liberation Army and the Republic of China Army; the engagement ended in an ROC victory and resulted in the ROC occupying Nanri. However, ROC forces later withdrew to Taiwan, and the island was re-occupied by the People's Republic of China.[6]

Administrative divisions

The town of Nanri (which includes nearby islands) is divided into seventeen villages:[3] [7]

Other populated places include Fou-tou (Chinese: 浮斗), Hsi-hu (Chinese: 西户), Hsi-kao, Ts'ao-hu, T'ou-ying-shih (Chinese: 頭英石), Ts'u-shan (Chinese: 粗山), Shih-t'ou-p'an and Shang-t'ou.[8]

Economy

The island is heavily involved in the fishing industry, and several fish farms have been established off the coast of the island.[9] [10] The island's mudflats are cultivated for seaweed and kelp production. Other important sectors are tourism and the energy sector. In 2015, a wind farm was established on the island.[11] [12]
