Tips

culture
海峡群岛 (literally 'strait archipelago') is the standard Chinese name for the Channel Islands - Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and others - sitting off the French coast of Normandy but politically tied to the British Crown. Note this is unrelated to Taiwan's 海峡 (Taiwan Strait) - context disambiguates.
