Facilities
Yongxing (Woody) Island, the seat of Sansha city, includes a small airport, sea port, medical clinic, supermarket, observatory, and post office. A hospital is planned. Woody island is supplied by a freighter which hauls supplies, including drinking water, from Hainan. The small airstrip, Yongxing Island Airport, was completed in July 1990. The runway is either 2,600 or 2,700 metres. Some say it is capable of handling People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force aircraft such as the Shenyang J-11BH/S, Chengdu J-10AH/S, and Sukhoi Su-30MKK.

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
