Changzhou Island
Changzhou Island, formerly known in English as Dane or Dane's Island, is an island in the Pearl River Delta of China's Guangdong Province. It is now administered as part of Guangzhou's Huangpu District, although the historic Huangpu Island was nearby Pazhou, which forms part of Haizhu District.
