Day 2 of Green Island: A beautiful itinerary around the island while riding and playing
One thing you must do when you come to Green Island is to go around the island! Cycling along the road around the island, feeling the sea breeze and looking at the blue sea is really super healing🌊. On the way, you will pass by the Little Great Wall, the Beauty Stone, and the Human Rights Museum full of historical stories. Each stop is worth stopping to appreciate. This rhythm of riding, stopping, watching and feeling is the most charming part of Green Island. The relaxed route with the open scenery is a completely relaxing and recharging day❤️

A must-go island in Taitung for diving: Green Island
#island #100 ways to travel #green island #taiwan #taitung #diving resort
Green Island is located off the coast of Taitung County and is the fourth largest affiliated island in Taiwan.
The island is surrounded by beautiful corals and natural underwater landscapes.
So this place is called diving paradise by divers😍😍
And Green Island also has the world-famous Chaori Underwater Hot Spring♨️
🗓️Itinerary: Diving can be arranged in the morning and afternoon
After diving, you can go to Chaori Hot Spring at dusk ♨️ to enjoy the hot spring
Chaori Hot Springs is a very rare underwater hot spring that only appears in Green Island, northern Italy and Kyushu, Japan. It is a world-class geological landscape. Come to Chaori Hot Springs to soak in the hot springs.
📍Taitung Green Island
Taking a boat to Green Island is the main mode of transportation for tourists.
It takes about 50 minutes from Taitung Fugang Fishing Port to Green Island Nanliao Fishing Port
De'An Airlines also has small planes flying from Taitung Airport to Green Island.
Taitung Green Island: Ziping Natural Ecological Area
Ziping is located at the southernmost part of Green Island, next to the private "Green Island Camping Area" of Green Island. There is a road next to the campsite leading to the lagoon "Ziping" on the coast. Ziping is a tidal pool composed of corals, and it is also an ecological zone with many short shrubs. Some people say it is like a small Guilin. It is also an intertidal ecological and water caltrop growth area. Water caltrops look like plum blossoms, so it is also called the Plum Sea. Although the strong winds and waves in the open sea will also affect the ecological zone of Ziping, you can see hermit crabs in the ecological zone. I still remember seeing squirrels on the road leading to Ziping that day.
Green Island|Days Surrounded by the Wind
A trip to an offshore island reminds you what it means to be "embraced by nature."
Green Island is truly one of Taiwan's freest corners.
🚤 Departing from Fugang Harbor in Taitung, the sea breeze and waves leave the city's rhythm behind. As soon as you step off the boat, you're greeted by the island's intense sunlight, salty sea air, and the omnipresent sound of scooters. On this small island, scooters take center stage, and time slows down just perfectly.
📍Day 1
✔️ Take a ride around the island (it only takes 30 minutes, but you'll keep stopping to admire the views)
✔️ Soak in the world's only "underwater hot spring" at Zhaori Hot Spring while gazing at the sea—it's incredibly soothing
✔️ Join a nighttime guided tour to hear ecological stories that can't be seen during the day
📍Day 2
✔️ Go snorkeling in the morning to explore the underwater world, with dense coral reefs and even encounters with sea turtles! 🐢
✔️ Enjoy a bowl of steaming Green Island venison noodles for lunch, paired with dried flying fish as a side dish—absolutely delicious
✔️ Spend the afternoon at the Green Island Human Rights Cultural Park, shifting from relaxation to reflection. The prison walls and stories of political victims make you rethink the meaning of freedom
🌴 Every turn brings surprises: Pug Rock, Sleeping Beauty Rock, Sail Nose Rock...
Every stretch of sea is like a painter's palette. Just ease up on the scooter throttle, and you'll see the gentle side of Green Island.

📝 Tips:
✔ The boat ride can cause seasickness, so bring motion sickness medication
✔ Check the tide schedule for Zhaori Hot Spring in advance to avoid disappointment
✔ Protect yourself from the sun and wind while riding around the island—the wind is strong!
✔ Keep a respectful distance from sea turtles and avoid touching them—it’s the best way to show respect

Green Island taught me:
Sometimes, slowing down allows you to discover the direction of the wind, the depth of the sea, and yourself.
Green Island Day 1: A Healing Journey of Sunset and Stargazing
As soon as we got off the boat and rented a vehicle, our first stop was straight to Dabaisha Bay to catch the sunset! The golden coastline was breathtakingly beautiful, and the slowly setting sun made the atmosphere incredibly romantic 🌅. After nightfall, we headed to Sail Rock Grassland to stargaze. The star-filled sky was absolutely dreamy ✨!
A quick reminder: Sail Rock Grassland has no lighting at night, so be sure to bring a flashlight or use your phone for illumination to stay safe. On the first day, we were completely healed by the beauty of nature—Green Island is truly amazing ❤️

Sea Cucumber Platform
Sea Cucumber Platform is truly a healing place! Located on the southeastern side of Green Island, you'll find a vast marine erosion platform when you arrive. The endless blue sky paired with the sound of waves is incredibly relaxing. Watching the sunrise in the morning is highly recommended—the sight of the sun slowly rising from the horizon is breathtakingly beautiful and awe-inspiring. During low tide, you can also spot various intertidal creatures like small crabs, sea urchins, and colorful little fish, which kids will absolutely love. The entire trail is well-designed and easy to walk, making it a comfortable experience. If you're visiting Green Island, you definitely shouldn't miss Sea Cucumber Platform—it's worth every moment and perfect for capturing stunning photos!
Little Great Wall
#台東绿岛
The Little Great Wall is really awesome! Although it is called the Little Great Wall, the scenery is not inferior to the big attractions. The whole trail will not take too long to walk, and it can be completed in about ten minutes, but the sea view along the way is super beautiful, especially the Pug Rock and Sleeping Beauty Rock, which is really interesting. When the weather is good, the blue sky and the sea breeze make the whole person relax. The stairs are a little steep, but it is actually okay to walk slowly. It is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes. The Little Great Wall is a place that must be put on the itinerary when you come to Green Island. It is beautiful to take pictures and the scenery is super healing. It is really worth it!
Green Island's Guoshan Trail
During my visit to Green Island, I made a special trip to hike the Guoshan Trail, and it truly turned out to be an unforgettable journey! The trail starts in the northeastern part of the island, and as you walk along, you can immediately feel the rich essence of nature. The route spans approximately 6 kilometers, which posed a slight challenge for me. Thankfully, there were plenty of scenic spots along the way to take breaks, making the hike less exhausting.
The most breathtaking part was reaching the summit of Chaori Mountain. Standing at the peak, I was greeted by a panoramic view of the boundless ocean, and in the distance, I could faintly see Taiwan's main island. It was an instant mood booster! The surrounding trees and vegetation were also incredibly lush, and walking under the cool shade of the forest brought a sense of tranquility that only nature can provide.
Green Island food is endless aftertaste 🤤✨
In the past 7 days in Green Island, I have been sleeping, eating and diving.
Friends took us to eat all the delicious food on Green Island🍜
It’s a pity that I only went out to buy breakfast once 😌
Sometimes we also take electric cars to find food for ourselves.
I highly recommend this ice and deep sea fish hot pot😆
They are all great. Maybe when you are hungry, everything tastes good. Haha
I will come to Green Island again!

Green Island
#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025
Green Island is a small volcano in the Pacific Ocean. It is a rural township in Taitung County, about 33 kilometers from the east coast of Taiwan Island. During Taiwan's martial law period, it was used as a place of exile for political prisoners. The "Green Island Serenade" became famous, and now it is a popular tourist destination.
The main itinerary for this trip includes soaking in the hot springs to watch the sunrise and snorkeling. Of course, you can't miss the Green Island where historical political prisoners were detained and the main street tour!
There are many shops along Green Island Harbor, beverage stores from Taipei are rushing to set up outlets, and the streets are jammed with motorcycles. I feel that it is overdeveloped. It seems that it takes less than half a day to ride a motorcycle around Green Island. Let's choose a beach with few people to relax and watch the sunset!
Green Island in the off-season is like a firefly in the darkness.
In March this year, I went diving in Green Island, Taiwan with my friends. This was also my first time to go to Taiwan and dive. When I arrived at Green Island, I was immediately touched by the human touch here.
There is no pollution here and there are fewer people because it is the off-season. Therefore, it is very comfortable and cozy for me who has lived in the concrete jungle of Hong Kong for many years. The sea behind the photo faces the Pacific Ocean, which is a very suitable place for thinking and relaxing.

Green Island is definitely a great place for spring
Green Island is a famous diving place in Taiwan. Besides that, it has beautiful nature for everyone to enjoy.
Although it's not purely flower viewing, you can see corals and snorkel here, which is super fun! From Taitung Port, it takes about 1 hour by ferry. After landing, you can choose a bed and breakfast to watch the sunset.
Green Island Diving Trip 2024
I want to share about my second trip this year—the diving journey to Taiwan's Green Island! Our group of nine set off from Hong Kong, flew to Kaohsiung for a short stay overnight, and then took a reserved van for a 3-hour ride to the pier the next morning, followed by a 45-minute ferry ride to Green Island without any incidents.
We first rented electric scooters with low horsepower and then headed straight to the homestay we booked. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and seeing the crystal-clear sea made us cheerful! Upon arriving at the homestay and getting settled, we donned our gear and started shore diving warm-ups with the diving instructor. Once underwater, it felt like being in a giant fish tank, with schools of fish swimming by, and soon we were fortunate enough to see the Green Island sea turtles! In the following days, we continuously did shore and boat dives at many beautiful spots. After several days of diving, we rode our scooters around Green Island, soaked in the must-visit Chaori hot spring for sunrise, and ended the trip with a night visit to the Liuhe Night Market 😍😍
