Taiwan's islands offer an extraordinary tapestry of landscapes and cultures. Penghu, an archipelago in the Taiwan Strait, is famed for its basalt formations, historical temples, and crystal-clear waters, ideal for water sports. Green Island enchants with its hot springs and rich marine life, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Kinmen, closer to China, is steeped in history with well-preserved Fujian-style architecture and wartime relics. Lanyu, or Orchid Island, home to the Tao indigenous community, boasts unique boat-shaped houses and a rich tribal culture. Each island, with its distinct character and charm, provides a unique experience beyond Taiwan's main island, revealing a world of natural beauty, cultural depth, and historical intrigue.
The archipelago of Penghu, often referred to as the "Hawaii of Taiwan," comprises 90 islands boasting pristine beaches, basalt cliffs, and historical temples. Dive into the azure waters for snorkeling or explore intertidal zones teeming with marine life. Attend the International Fireworks Festival, where the sky above Magong Harbour is illuminated in a mesmerizing display of colours.
Situated off Taiwan's southeastern coast, Orchid Island is home to the Tao indigenous people. Experience their rich culture by participating in traditional ceremonies, savouring local delicacies, or navigating in their unique hand-carved wooden canoes. The island's rugged coastline, coupled with its dense forests and vibrant coral reefs, offers a serene escape from modern life.
Green Island is renowned for its Zhaori Hot Springs, one of the world's rare saltwater hot springs. Soak in these therapeutic waters while gazing out at the Pacific Ocean, especially during sunrise. The island also offers world-class diving spots, with an abundance of marine life and coral species, making it a diver's paradise.
Once a battleground between Taiwan and China, Kinmen is dotted with historical sites from the Cold War era. Wander through ancient Fujian-style settlements, discover underground tunnels used by the military, or visit the Guningtou War Museum to understand the island's tumultuous past. Amidst its history, Kinmen also offers tranquil beaches and local sorghum liquor breweries.
Taiwan's only coral island, Xiao Liuqiu, is a haven for marine enthusiasts. Dive or snorkel in its clear waters to encounter diverse marine species, including the endangered green sea turtle. On land, explore unique geological formations like the Beauty Cave and Flower Vase Rock. At dusk, witness the enchanting spectacle of glowing algae on its shores.
The Matsu archipelago, closer to China's coast than Taiwan's, offers an amalgamation of natural beauty and historical intrigue. Visit the Beihai tunnels, carved during wartime, or the serene Iron Fort. The islands are also famed for the Blue Tears phenomenon, where bioluminescent algae glow in the dark waters, creating a magical atmosphere.
