Like the other Paracel Islands, it is controlled by China (PRC) and claimed by Taiwan (ROC) and Vietnam. It is administered as part of the Yongxing Dao Neighborhood Committee township-level division, in the county-level division of the Xisha District of the Sansha prefecture-level city, in Hainan province.

An environmental protection station was established there in February 2014.

It is classified as a Major Historical and Cultural Site at the national level.
