Take time out to enjoy a leisurely visit to Green Island.

 

After 50 minutes bobbing through mighty waves, the ferry from Tai-tung’s Fu-gang Fishing Harbor finally brings us to Green Island, which stands alone out in the Pacific Ocean.

This is a place where political prisoners were once confined, and the hillsides still retain patriotic slogans carved back then. Today, Green Island has been transformed into an ecotourism island, with a unique topography, rich undersea ecology, and year-round diving. The blue sky, jade-green sea and sunshine call out to friends from all over to bring their youthful vitality to Green Island.
