Chuton Island (Traditional Chinese: 中屯嶼), also known as Chuton Islet,[1] is a small island in Penghu County,[2] Taiwan. It belongs to Baisha Township[3] and has a circumference of 5.1819 kilometers. The island is the tenth largest in the Penghu Archipelago and is located between Penghu Main Island and Baisha Island.[4] The island's shape resembles a mound, which is why it was originally named Zhongdun.[5] During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, it was called Zhongdun Village.[6] After the Republic of China took over Taiwan, it was renamed Chuton.[7] Currently, it is designated as Chuton Village.[8][4]
