TAIPEI, May 5 (Xinhua) -- A delegation of former Taiwan senior officials on Thursday visited Taiping Island, the largest of the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea.
The 20-member group visited a wharf, a lighthouse, a photovoltaic facility, a post office, a hospital, a farm and a well. They tasted the natural fresh water and food made from local ingredients, said a press release provided by Taiwan's coast guard authority.
The farm and fresh water well show Taiping's natural resources are sufficient to sustain human habitation, it added. The hospital staff briefed the visitors on past rescue missions and their advanced facilities.
On Jan. 28, Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou paid a visit to the island.
