Scenery of China's newest city
China.org.cn, May 24, 2013
Home to about 1,000 residents, Sansha was officially set up as China's newest city in July last year to administer about 2-million-square-km islands, coastal areas and territorial seas in the South China Sea. The city of Sansha gets its name from three island groups under its jurisdiction -- Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha -- and their surrounding waters in the South China Sea. [Photo/Xinhua]
[Note: "San" means three and "sha" means islands. Sansha literally means three islands (for Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha) under its jurisdiction.]
