Lesser Orchid Island, Desert island in Dongqing Village, Taiwan
Lesser Orchid Island rises 49 meters above sea level and covers 45 square kilometers off the southeastern coast of Taiwan near Orchid Island.

The neighboring Tao people from Orchid Island include this small island in their traditional fishing territories and maritime navigation practices.
