Like all the other Paracel islands, it is controlled by China (PRC) and claimed by Taiwan (ROC) and Vietnam. It is administered as the Yagong Community, a village-level division, part of 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.
It has an area of just under 1 hectare (9,800 square metres). Trees have been planted on the island, as part of a Sansha-wide greening project.
