      Located at the northern end of the exercise area, Mazu Dao consists of Dongju [Tungchu] and Xiju [Hsichu] Islets. Formerly under the administration of Fujian's Lianjiang County, it is now called Four Townships and Five Islets. Prior to the Spring Festival, residents on Mazu's Juguang [Chukuang] Islet grew anxious amid reports that the mainland military would soon conduct exercises. Some residents withdrew their bank deposits. On 17 March, more than 70 island residents left for Taiwan on the Navy's AP [expansion unknown] transport ship. According to island residents, some 150 people plan to leave the island temporarily, and they account for one half of the current population.
