Alligator Island, to the west of Xiyin Island, is a scrap of land that juts outjust above the water. From a distance, it seems like a reclining alligator. Afrightening legend is associated with the island: A fierce alligator terrorizedresidents of neighboring islands to the point that fishermen wouldn't go outand seek a catch. The Jade Emperor, upon seeing this pitiable situation, turned the alligator to stone.
