Green Island

4.1
4.9/5
247 reviews
Green Island is located in Green Island Township, Taitung County, where Cai Qin's "Green Island Serenade" was sung. You can enjoy the sapphire-like water here, interact with the innocent and lovely sika deer, dive into the seabed to explore the splendid underwater world, or rent a motorcycle to travel around this paradise, which is a leisure resort for family and friends. . The main attractions of Green Island are distributed on the cement road around the island with a length of about 16.3 kilometers. You can start from Nanliao Bay near the wharf and take a sightseeing bus around the island. The bus passes through 13 stops, and stops at the Human Rights Memorial Park, Guanyin Cave, Sleeping beauty and other attractions stop for a while, so that tourists can get off the bus and visit. If you want to travel in depth or rent a car, you need a motorcycle driver's license to rent a motorcycle in Taiwan. If you don't have a driver's license, try to choose an electric bicycle. There are many mountain roads in Ludao, and riding a bicycle is more exhausting. At night, you can ask the owner of the homestay to take you to see the sika deer. The sika deer are afraid of light and heat. They cannot hide during the day and can only be found at night. In the early morning, watching the sunrise in the hot spring of Asahi is also a unique enjoyment here. Lying in the open-air hot spring and meeting the first rays of dawn accompanied by the waves and sea breeze is really pleasant. After watching the sunrise, you can go snorkeling after going back to the B&B. This is a popular diving resort in Taiwan. The diving shop provides complete snorkeling equipment, life jackets and experienced instructors. Those who do not know how to dive can go to the fishing port. Take a sightseeing glass boat to enjoy the beauty of the seabed of Green Island.Taitung · 40.4km from downtown

I couldn't get up to watch the sunrise, but it was still beautiful to soak in the hot springs at 9 o'clock. Each pool has a slightly different temperature and is not very deep, so it's suitable for both adults and children. You can come here to eat instant noodles and hot spring eggs. When we came, the corn was sold out. To cook the hot spring eggs, you have to go down the stairs to the beach and cook them at 95 degrees. It's very hot! Be careful, girls are recommended to bring their own strong hair dryers

Green Island is located in the southeast of Taiwan Province, China. It was formerly known as "Jixinyu", "Qingzaiyu" and "Huoshao Island". It is a volcanic island with hills and mountains. The highest point is Huoshao Mountain, which is 280 meters high. There are many cliffs in the southeast seaside area, and the southwest corner is a plain beach that is more than 10 kilometers long. The northwest coastal area is low-lying and is the main settlement of the island. There are many different opinions about the origin of the name Huoshao Island. The most popular one is the theory that the island was burned by a fire during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. Green Island is the fourth largest affiliated island of Taiwan. Administratively, it belongs to Green Island Township, Taitung County, Taiwan Province. The residents on the island are mainly Han people (Minnan ethnic group) who immigrated from Xiaoliuqiu and Donggang in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

When visiting Taitung City, the best evening entertainment is to stroll through the Taitung Tourist Night Market (commonly known as Zhengqi Road Night Market). During the day, it's a street where locals buy fruit, but in the evening, it transforms into a food paradise after being closed off. The layout is planned in a straight line, making it very easy to navigate and avoid getting lost. 🔥 Top Four Must-Try Foods: • Authentic Grilled Pork Gua Bao: This stall definitely has a queue! Unlike traditional braised pork, this one features grilled Hakka salted pork or black pork, topped with plenty of cilantro and a special sauce. The charcoal flavor is incredibly rich and unique. • Ah Hong Fried Chicken: One of Taitung's two local fried chicken giants (the other being Blue Dragonfly). The skin is thin, crispy, and juicy, with a rich peppery aroma. When freshly fried, it's bursting with juice when you bite into it. The fried chicken leg and chicken nugget set is a must-order. • Patrick Star Oyster Omelet: It's all about the super crispy "crispy skin"! The edges are crispy like cookies, paired with plump, sweet oysters and a sweet and spicy sauce, creating a wonderfully layered texture. • Jin Fang Ice City / Bao Sang Tangyuan: The perfect ending after a savory meal. Jin Fang Ice City's "salty popsicles" are a childhood memory for many; Bao Sang Tangyuan offers chewy, handmade tangyuan, a perfect match for traditional shaved ice to cool you down. 💬 Tourist Tips: Because it's located in the city center, near large hotels like the Guitian Sheraton, it's packed with tourists on weekends. Popular stalls usually have a 15-30 minute wait. Also, please note that it's open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. If you come from Sunday to Wednesday, the streets will be very quiet, so don't miss it!

The Yeyin tribe on the east coast has the most complete group of underground houses on the island. It is far away from the port and has preserved more of the original local appearance. You can also see the most beautiful sunrise. Balaguan B&B is highly recommended.

There are lush forests and clear Zhiben River winding through, forming waterfalls and suspension bridges. The forest park, which retains its natural appearance, is a paradise for bird watching in the east. Walking on the green forest trail, you can hear the chirping of birds from time to time, and see butterflies flying in the landscaped garden.

We passed by here on a day trip from Hualien to Kenting. I heard that the rice produced here is delicious, so the Chihshang bento is very famous. We tried it and it was OK. The overall cost-effectiveness of the lunch box is very high, and the content is rich. One person is quite full. Then there is Brown Avenue. The road is straight, and there are green rice fields on both sides, which is very beautiful.

A train station that was abolished by the Taiwan Railways has an excellently located observation deck, where one can enjoy the unparalleled view of the Pacific Ocean and the trains passing by at the same time. It is known as "the most beautiful train station in Taiwan."

Brown Road is a rural road in Chihshang Township, Taitung County. There is not a single electric pole on either side of the straight road. The road divides the fields on both sides into two halves, and is known as the "Green Paradise Road". Brown Road has a very wide view, and the charm lies in the vast rice fields. The rice ears sway in the wind, like waves hitting your face, which is an unforgettable beautiful scene.
