Chuton Island（Traditional Chinese：中屯嶼）, also known as Chuton Islet, is a small island in Penghu County,[1] Taiwan. It belongs to Baisha Township[2] 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.[3] Its shape resembles a mound, which is why it was originally named Zhongdun.[4] During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, it was called Zhongdun Village.[5] After the Republic of China took over Taiwan, it was renamed Chuton. Currently, it is designated as Chuton Village.[6]
