Dadeng Island

Island in Xiamen, China

Dadeng Island (Traditional Chinese: 大嶝島) is a sea island located in the southeastern part of Xiang'an District, Xiamen City,[1] Fujian Province,[2] People's Republic of China, with an area of approximately 13 square kilometers.[3] Administratively, it is currently under the jurisdiction of Dadeng Subdistrict in the same district. There is a Dadeng Militia outpost on the island, established in 1950 and initially manned by local residents. Since 1992, it has been manned by a fixed rotation of 10 local female militia members.[4]

Dadeng Island, along with Xiaodeng Island and Jiaoyu Island, forms the Dadeng Island Archipelago.[5] The island features the Dadeng Bridge,[6] which is 931 meters long and connects Dadeng Island with the Xiang'an Peninsula.
