TUNGYIN TOWNSHIP (dōngyǐn xiāng) 東引鄉 This northernmost outpost of the Matsu archipelago is a remote place that sees few visitors. The largest island in the township is Tungyin (dōngyǐn) and to the west of that is Hsiyin (xīyǐn).[…] TUNGYIN ISLAND (dōngyǐn) 東引 Tungyin is a very windy island and therefore is almost totally devoid of trees. Grass is the main vegetation. The local population (soldiers excluded) is around 700, but military personnel far outnumber civilians.
