Juguang, Township in Lienchiang County, Matsu Islands, Taiwan
Juguang is a township comprising two islands in the Matsu archipelago off Taiwan's coast, with several villages spread across both landmasses. The settlement depends on local infrastructure including power generation and water supplies to support its residents.
The township received its current name in 1971 following an official administrative redesignation. This change reflected broader governmental decisions from that period.
The township maintains five rural villages distributed between Dongju and Xiju islands, where residents participate in traditional celebrations and maritime activities.
The islands receive power from local generating stations and rely on a reservoir for freshwater supplies. Visitors should expect limited services typical of a remote island community with basic infrastructure.
A lighthouse from the Qing dynasty period survives on one of the islands and holds status as a protected cultural property. This structure once guided maritime traffic through the surrounding waters.
