Liuhuang Island

Liuhuang Island

Covering an area of 93 square kilometers, it is the third largest island in the Zhoushan Archipelago after Zhoushan Island and Daishan Island.

Agriculture is relatively well-developed on Liuhuang Island. Thanks to its moderate and moist climate year-round and abundant rainfall, it is suitable for growing crops such as taro, sweet potatoes, and corn, especially sweet potatoes, which are produced in high yields and are well-known across Zhoushan.

Liuhuang Island has excellent port conditions. As early as the mid-16th century, it once served as China’s earliest international trading port, playing a positive role in the development of the southeastern coastal region.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, Liuhuang Island was called Huanggong Mountain. It began to be called Liuhuang Island from the Ming Dynasty onward. The island features six ridges running from southeast to northwest, resembling the shape of a snake, which locals referred to as "heng" (横), hence the name "Liuhuang" (六横).
