Green Island is located in Green Island Township, Taitung County
The song ‘Green Island Serenade’ by Cai Qin is about this place
Here, you can admire the sapphire-like sea water, interact closely with naive and lovely sika deer, explore the gorgeous underwater world by diving, or rent a motorcycle to tour this paradise
It is a great place for family and friends to relax and vacation
The main scenic spots of Green Island are distributed on the cement ring island highway about 16
3 kilometers long
You can start from Nanliao Bay near the dock and take the round-island sightseeing bus for a week
The bus passes through 13 stops and makes short stops at scenic spots such as the Human Rights Memorial Park, Guanyin Cave, and Sleeping Beauty to facilitate tourists to get off and visit
For in-depth tours, it is better to rent a vehicle
Renting a motorcycle in Taiwan requires a motorcycle driver’s license
If you don’t have a license, try to choose an electric bicycle as riding a bicycle is relatively exhausting
At night, you can ask the owner of the homestay to take you to see the sika deer
Sika deer are afraid of light and heat and hide during the day and can only be found at night
In the early morning, soaking in the Asahi Hot Spring and watching the sunrise is also a unique enjoyment here
Lying in the open-air hot spring and greeting the first ray of dawn accompanied by the waves and sea breeze is extremely pleasant
After watching the sunrise, go back to the homestay and take a nap, and then you can go snorkeling
Here is a popular diving destination in Taiwan
Diving shops provide complete snorkeling equipment, life jackets and experienced coaches
Those who can’t dive can take a sightseeing glass boat at the fishing port to enjoy the beauty of the seabed of Green Island
Open all year round and open all day
The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day

before going to the island
2

3

If you are caught driving without a license, you will be fined 6,000 New Taiwan dollars
