Map of Money Island, Paracel Islands
Money Island(Chinese: 金银岛; literally: "money island"; Vietnamese: Quang Ảnh and Vietnamese: Ðảo Vính Lạc) is the southwesternmost island in the Crescent Group of the Paracel Islands archipelago. It rises to a height of 6 metres and is covered with brush. At the eastern side of the island lies an extensive reef, which contains a central lagoon, but the reef is mostly submerged at high tide. Inside the lagoon, the open areas range in depth from 7 m to 20 m. The sand cay at the southeastern extremity of reef is the reef's highest point. The channel between Money Island's reef and Antelope Reef is about 1.5 miles wide. The reef continues around to the north side of the island.
