It is 15.092 km² at high tide and 17.329 km² at low tide, making it the Republic of China's seventh-largest island. The island is administered as Lüdao Township, a rural township of Taitung County and one of the county's two offshore areas. The island once served as a penal colony for political prisoners during Taiwan's period of martial law, although today it is primarily known as a tourist hotspot.
