- My first trip, one of the free, public transportation boats that ply daily between the major islands, was to Wang'an about 13 miles southwest of Magong. This island is 2.5 miles long by 1 mile wide and has an area of approximately 2.5 square miles. There are four villages on the island with a total population of about 3,000. As on all the outer islands, there is an elementary school and a police station; to attend senior high school, students have to go to Magong where they live in dormitories. Fishing and peanut growing are the major occupations of the people of Wang'an.
