     Until a few years ago, it was necessary to take a ferry to travel from one of the three to another, but the three big islands plus several smaller ones in between are today all interconnected by a vast network of bridges. The longest of these, connecting Baisha with Yuweng, is almost two miles in length and is the longest ocean bridge in the Far East.
