# Jiapeng Liedao

Jiapeng Liedao (Chinese: 雞澎羣島 or 佳蓬列島), also known as Asses' Ears, the Kaipong Islands (derived from the Cantonese pronunciation of the Chinese name) or Ky-poong, is a group of islands off the coast of Guangdong in China. They form a chain of rocks and islands extending 10 miles SE from Eyan Shi Dao (枙咽石岛, O-yen Shih) to Wenwei Zhou (蚊尾洲). The islands are part of the Wanshan Archipelago.

## Name

Beijian Dao (北尖岛), also called Kaipong, gave its name to the island group. Also, two peaks rising almost perpendicularly to a height of 300m on the southwestern end of the island, are known as Asses' Ears. They also gave their name to the archipelago.

## Islands

There are two major islands in the northeast and a group of minor islands in the southwest. One major island is Beijian Dao (北尖岛). The other island is Yunghoy or Yung-gai.
