Mayu Island is a strategically located island in Shantou, Guangdong.[1] It is unusual for having two Mazu temples on the same island.[1] The island is located in the estuary of Shantou port, and has an area of 0.97 square kilometers, an elevation of 39 meters, and a coastline of 2.3 km.[1] In the 19th century when Shantou was a treaty port, Mayu was the location of the British and American consulates and a customs house.

In the 19th century, English-language sources called Mayu Island and Dezhou Island "Double Island".[2] Photo by Lai Afong from between 1860 and 1880.
