Pratas Military Post Office
　　The area code for Pratas is 817, and the military post office is Office No. 67. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications issued the "South China Sea Islands Map Stamps" in 1996, as a set of two stamps. The inscription "South China Sea Defense" from the national stone tablet on Pratas Island was printed on the five-dollar stamp, and the "Defend the South China Sea" inscription from the national stone tablet on Itu Aba Island (Peace Island) was printed on the seventeen-dollar stamp. The background was the south China coastline, Taiwan and Hainan Island with the blue sky and sea. This is the first time that the ROC had issued stamps with the theme of the South China Sea.

Pratas Fishermen's Service Station
　　In 1987 the military and civilian residents built the "Pratas Fishermen's Service Station" together. The station was build in traditional Chinese courtyard house style, and provides convenient services for fishermen and boats in the South China Sea, insuring the fishermen's safety and upholding our country's sovereignty. The services provided include lodging, medical rescue, entertainment and supply. The Pratas Fishermen's Service Station not only serves the fishermen, it also provides lodging for the scientists who come to conduct research on the island.
