  • Pratas Island is an island in the northern part of the South China Sea administered as part of Cijin District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. (Chinese: 東沙群島; pinyin: Dōngshā Qúndǎo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tang-soa Kûn-tó; lit. 'East Sand Islands'), the Tungsha Islands and the Dongsha Islands. It is located about 170 nautical miles (310 km; 200 mi) southeast of Hong Kong. It has an area of about 240 hectares (590 acres), including 64 hectares (160 acres) of lagoon, and is the largest of the South China Sea Islands. It is the location of the Dongsha Airport. There are three undersea features in the waters associated with Pratas Island: Pratas Atoll, North Vereker Bank and South Vereker Bank. The atoll is circular, and the crescent-shaped Pratas Island occupies its western part. Below the ocean's surface to the northwest (21°N 116°E / 21°N 116°E) of Pratas Island, North Vereker Bank rises to 11 metres (36 ft) below sea level and South Vereker Bank to 58 metres (190 ft) below sea level. There are numerous oil wells to the west of the banks. In 2007, the Dongsha Atoll National Park was established on the island. The People's Republic of China claims the island, atoll and banks as part of Guangdong Province. (en)
  • 東沙島是南海上東沙群島的主島,面积1.8平方公里,是南海数百个岛礁中最大的岛屿之一。由中華民國管轄。因为岛屿形状如牙,俗名月牙岛,但因位居珠江口“南澳”之外,所以在清朝《海國聞見錄》中称为“南澳气”,又名大东沙。有清朝渔民建造的渔村和庙宇,如大王庙,毁后重建並增祀媽祖。岛上曾有气象台、无线电台和灯塔,便利海上航行。 (zh)
