Swim with giant sea turtles for a healing experience. Xiaoliuqiu is Taiwan's only coral reef island, boasting unique marine ecological resources, convenient transportation, and a warm climate all year round. Even in winter, it attracts many visitors for snorkeling and diving. This makes it one of Taiwan's most popular tourist islands, drawing tens of thousands of visitors annually. Covering an area of just 6.8 square kilometers, Xiaoliuqiu is half the size of Green Island, and you can circle the entire island in about 30 minutes! 🌊 Vase Rock is the iconic landmark of Xiaoliuqiu and its most representative attraction! Named for its vase-like shape, the rock has been sculpted by years of seawater erosion. Up close, you'll notice its surface is full of holes—a masterpiece of nature's craftsmanship! Visiting Xiaoliuqiu without taking a photo at Vase Rock is like not visiting at all! 🪵 The Driftwood Secret Spot has become a trendy destination in recent years. Its main feature is a piece of driftwood washed ashore and wedged into a rocky crevice, set against the backdrop of the vast ocean. It's a stunning spot for photos and social media posts! 🐢 Turtle-spotting adventure! Xiaoliuqiu is home to an abundance of sea turtles and sea urchins, many of which are astonishingly large—almost like sea monsters! Besides admiring the underwater creatures, you can learn that the gender of sea turtles is determined by their tails: males have long tails, while females have short ones. Interestingly, male turtles are less common in Xiaoliuqiu. Enjoy the endless beauty of nature—it’s so relaxing and healing 😌. Whether it’s watching the sunrise, sunset, spotting sea turtles, or snorkeling, every experience is worth trying! 👍

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If the green sea turtle is the representative animal of Xiaoliuqiu, then the landmark of Xiaoliuqiu is the Vase Rock. Vase Rock is a coral limestone located on the beach coast in front of Daitian Palace. It is about 9 meters high. Due to years of erosion and scouring by sea water, the stone pillars at the bottom have gradually become smaller and thinner. Vase Rock is a popular tourist attraction on the Internet. Tourists who come to Xiaoliuqiu will definitely come here to take photos with Vase Rock. The beach is only a few meters away from Vase Rock, so it is very suitable for taking photos. The waters near Vase Rock are also a great spot for snorkeling, where you can see many groups of tourists led by coaches for snorkeling activities. The coral reefs, green turtles and various fish of Xiaoliuqiu are animals and plants that are often seen during snorkeling activities. We also hope that tourists can cherish the natural ecology and scenery when engaging in various activities here, so as to ensure the endless tourism resources of Xiaoliuqiu. (20250510)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 After lunch, the kids wanted to eat ice cream, so the whole family rode their motorcycles on the streets of Xiaoliuqiu looking for an ice cream shop. It was not easy to find an ice cream shop in the south of the border. Later I saw a shop with a white exterior on the street and decided to come here to have some ice cream! Pretty straightforward. This ice cream shop has a minimum consumption requirement if you are over 12 years old. We had one person under 12 years old so we ordered three ice creams with different flavors. The ice cream here is all hand-made ice cubes with various flavors of shaved ice. The texture of shaved ice is very dense and cool in the mouth and in the heart. After a light rain for about half an hour in the morning, the sun was shining brightly in Xiaoliuqiu. Everyone was also hot from the hot weather. But after a while, three bowls of shaved ice were finished. After the meal, everyone continued their tour around Xiaoliuqiu with satisfied expressions. (20200510)

The Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area Administration, established in November 1997, is located in Donggang Township, Pingtung County, within the Dapeng Bay Scenic Area. Its responsibilities include application services, guided tour reservations, service satisfaction surveys, tourism safety promotion, ecological inspections for tourism projects, and emergency notifications. Inside the administration, there is a visitor service center showcasing delightful miniature models of the main lanterns from Taiwan Lantern Festivals held across various counties and cities over the years. The park also features a charming auxiliary lantern from the Pingtung Lantern Festival, shaped like a pig named 'Ping An Pig,' and a striking white tuna art installation with the character '鮪' displayed on its tail, making it a must-visit spot for photos and social media check-ins. The surrounding area boasts rich biodiversity, with various bird species and aquatic plants thriving. Volunteers actively share knowledge about ecological conservation, and visitors can inquire further at the administration center for more information.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Before arriving at Xiaoliuqiu Baisha Port by boat from Donggang, you can see a red-tiled and white-walled building halfway up the mountain, with a slightly Spanish feel. It was previously the library of Liuqiu Township and was later renovated in 2011 and officially opened as the Liuqiu Visitor Center in 2012. Since Liuqiu Township was incorporated into the management scope of Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area in 2000, the library was converted into a tourist service center in order to cope with the increasing number of tourists and provide better service quality. The tourist service center is divided into three floors. The first floor is the management center office, the second floor is the tourism information counter and conference room, and the third floor is the dormitory area which is not open to the public. The Dapeng Bay fan club meeting was also held in the conference room. Each fan member who came to Xiaoliuqiu was given a small gift and then watched a 3D film introducing Xiaoliuqiu. When you put on 3D glasses and see the fish and loggerheads, it feels like you are swimming in the sea with these fish. The images are very realistic and three-dimensional. The conference room also provides guided video booking service for groups of 20 or more people, and can accommodate up to 75 people indoors. After finishing the guided tour video, the fans group continued their next itinerary, which was to go to a restaurant for lunch to enjoy local food.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 There are currently five fishing ports in Xiaoliuqiu, including Baishawei Sightseeing Fishing Port, Shanfu Fishing Port, Haizikou Fishing Port, Dafu Fishing Port and Yufu Fishing Port. Public ships dock at Dafu Fishing Harbor, while privately-owned ships dock at Baisha Tourist Harbor. Xiaoliuqiu is also the only outlying island in Pingtung. It is about 14 kilometers from Donggang Wharf to Baisha Tourist Port and only takes 25 minutes to reach Xiaoliuqiu. When you enter Baisha Tourist Harbor, you can see a building with a colorful exterior. It has been planned to be a duty-free shop and the ticket office for private transport ships is also here. The bus departs from Donggang to Xiaoliuqiu from 0700 to 1700 every morning, and the bus departs from Xiaoliuqiu to Donggang from 0740 to 1730. The above are fixed schedules, and the schedule may be adjusted depending on wind and waves and seasons.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 In fact, the main purpose of my visit to Xiaoliuqiu is to appreciate the green loggerheads. The two best ways to appreciate the green loggerheads are diving (snorkeling) or taking a semi-submarine boat. In the end, we chose the most labor-saving way, which is to take a semi-submarine boat. Exploring Latin America is the best choice. In fact, in addition to admiring the green loggerheads, Explore Latin America also has other package tours such as exploring the ocean, sunset tours, intellectual cruises, all-around challenges, ocean parks, SUP experiences (stand up paddling) and other package tours. Visitors can choose the itinerary activities they want based on their preferences or prices. Our luck was quite good today. The visibility on the seabed was very clear. We saw more than 20 green loggerheads in one voyage. Occasionally, we would see a few green loggerheads swimming to the surface to breathe. As soon as we spotted the green loggerheads, we could hear screams from both adults and children in the cabin. This is a pleasant marine ecological journey full of intellect and emotion. It allows people to understand the relationship between humans and living things, which is mutual tolerance and reproduction so that all things in the universe can continue to thrive. After talking a lot of nonsense, the key point is to plan your holiday itinerary well. If you come to Xiaoliuqiu, taking a semi-submarine boat is a great itinerary option. I recommend this itinerary to friends who want to visit Xiaoliuqiu.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 In recent years, some coffee trees and cocoa bean trees have been planted in Pingtung. Although the production capacity is not very large, the quality is indeed very good. I took my kids out for an outing again this weekend, and our destination was the Fuwan Chocolate Factory in Donggang Town, which is also a tourist factory that also provides parent-child DIY chocolate making. There is a beautiful building with green exterior in front of the entrance. In addition to selling some ice cream, drinks and meals, of course, the signature of this factory is chocolate. I don’t know if it’s because I won the championship and the gold medal, or because things are rare and valuable, but I really can’t afford to spend several hundred dollars on just one piece of chocolate. It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it, you can come to the DIY classroom and make chocolate with the kids. During the process, you can see the focused eyes of the kids and how they carefully put the ingredients according to the teacher’s instructions to create their own work. Other kids can’t wait to start eating it, with satisfied expressions written all over their faces. In addition to beautiful buildings, there is also a lawn in the factory where children can jump, chase and play. Under the awning next to it, you can see workers peeling cocoa beans. The cocoa fruits in the wooden boxes look like papayas, bitter gourds, and golden mangoes. There are all kinds of bright and beautiful colors. There is a glass house opposite the awning, where the cocoa beans that have been taken out are being exposed to sunlight. The glass house has a large electric fan exhaust fan to adjust the temperature inside the house. This tourist factory is just like their chocolate, it is a high-quality tourist factory with good environment and all aspects. I think people would still support the chocolate if it was more affordable, instead of them raising their prices just because they won an award. In Taiwan, you can see stores everywhere that set their prices very high after winning awards in competitions. In the end, these stores suffer because their products are too high-end and their business cannot continue. Of course, the purpose of doing business is to make money, but setting the profit too high is profiteering. The balance between profit cost and sales volume tests the wisdom of the store owner.

Pingtung Art Museum, located across from the Pacific Department Store in downtown Pingtung City, was originally the site of the Pingtung City Office and officially opened in January 2013. The museum is designed with two floors: the first floor serves as a special exhibition space, while the second floor is dedicated to permanent collections and includes a small area for curated submissions. Today, I made time to visit the museum to see the special exhibition "Follow the Hazy, Humid Day to Pingtung," part of Japanese contemporary artist Yoshitomo Nara's ten-year touring project in Taiwan. This exhibition, the third stop in Taiwan, will end on May 25. It features approximately 59 pieces of Nara's works, including ceramics, sketches, and photographs. Additionally, a merchandise area is set up at the Pingtung Martial Arts Hall behind the museum, offering various items such as posters, postcards, glass cups, and phone cases. Yoshitomo Nara plans to hold a ten-stop tour across Taiwan, so those interested in his works can visit the venue closest to them to enjoy the exhibition. (20250504)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Dapeng Bay is located in Donggang Town, Pingtung County, and spans Donggang Town and Linbian Township. Dapeng Bay is the only large lagoon terrain on the southwest coast of Taiwan and the largest inner bay in Taiwan. The waters in the bay are about 3,500 meters long and 1,800 meters wide, with a total area of ​​more than 532 hectares and an average water depth of 2-6 meters. In the past, the waters of Dapeng Bay were where Donggang people cultivated oysters. The islands filled with oyster racks and oyster shells formed a spectacle. In 2003, the Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area Management Office officially took over and replaced it with a fully planned recreational facility and ecological protection area, which, together with Donggang's fishery, culture and other tourism industries, formed a rich and diverse national scenic area. Various types of sailing competitions are held in the waters of Dapeng Bay every year, and there are also canoeing, SUP, lake cruises, and large sailboat rides. In addition, the waters in the area are rich in animal and plant ecological resources, including unique mangroves, sea ash, and coastal plants such as saddle vine, agarwood, and bitterwood. The animal landscape is mainly composed of birds, fish and soft-shelled turtles. Dapeng Bay is not only a good place for water activities but also the best place for animal and plant ecological conservation.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The power of the Internet is terrifying. If it weren’t for the spread of the Internet, not many customers would know about Yichenghaku’s noodle shop. That’s right, we followed the map to come to this legendary popular noodle shop. This noodle shop is hidden in a narrow alley and is actually very easy to find because when you arrive at the entrance of the alley, you will see a bunch of people walking into the alley. Because of its popularity, we were afraid of queuing and not being able to get a table, so we rushed into the alley as soon as we arrived at 11 o'clock that day. Oh my god~~~ When we got to the door of the noodle shop, there were already a lot of people waiting for a table. The waiting number we got was 47. The store owner is really considerate of the customers' hard work in queuing in such hot weather, so the number plate is a fan with the number on it. The courtyard and the streets in the alley were filled with customers waiting to eat noodles. If everyone didn't leave, based on the number of tables in the restaurant and the fact that each group of customers only had half an hour to dine, we might not be able to get a table until the evening. I immediately told my wife that we should go out to eat Ligang wontons and pork trotters! The restaurant attracts many foodies with its Japanese-style facade, garden style and simple house appearance. However, the indoor space with only a few tables cannot accommodate so many guests. (20191012)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Due to some mishap on 12/5, I missed the first lamp lighting ceremony that evening, but later I found another time to watch the church's lamp lighting ceremony. The Taiwan Presbyterian Church is on Ren'ai Road in Pingtung City, and my destination is the Taiwan Presbyterian Church Peace Church on Minzu Road. Pingtung Peace Presbyterian Church was founded on August 16, 1952. Although its history is not as long as that of the Taiwan Christian Presbyterian Church on Ren'ai Road, the gingerbread house street scene and lighting ceremony on Christmas Eve over the years have made the church famous. In particular, the street view of the gingerbread house, which is said to be the largest in Taiwan, attracts many tourists to check in and take photos. At night, when the lights in the gingerbread house are turned on, the entire gingerbread house city becomes brightly lit. As soon as the holidays come, there are endless tourists surrounding the gingerbread house city. Everyone wants to get the best angle and stretches their arms to take beautiful pictures of the gingerbread house street scene. In recent years, more and more tourists have come here just to see these works. If tourists want to take photos, they may have to move faster next time, otherwise they may not be able to squeeze into the small lobby. (20201206)

I am not abroad, but I understand the slowness and quietness that travelers desire better than foreigners. From exterior design to space, every corner is a space for the soul Kenting in the south of the country 🏖️ The first choice for family accommodation The South Sunset ☁️ A large sky where you can chase clouds 🌊 A whole piece of healing blue sea 🛁 There is also a bathing corner with a sea view This time I stayed in a duplex room, with only one bed on the second floor.

The Kenting Rijing Villa is full of Instagram-worthy vibes. The pool alone is worth hours of photoshoots! The rooftop open-air bar is also super cool. They've got shot glasses ready to go, plus champagne lights. The rooms are spacious and clean, and there's even a washer and dryer. Staying for two or three days here is completely worry-free. They've got electric mahjong, karaoke, and barbecue facilities. Highly recommend the Rijing Villa in Kenting. It's fantastic!

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Wanlitongshanhai Community is located next to YOHO Kenting Resort. This community has a small bay beach, which is much smaller than Nanwan Beach, but I personally think the scenery here is much more beautiful than Nanwan. This should also be considered a secret place. When people go to Kenting, they always like to go to Nanwan or Sail Rock to squeeze in with the crowds. Relatively speaking, there are fewer tourists coming here to play in the water and it is not so crowded. Of course, there are not as many water activities here as in South Bay, but it is relatively safe. To be honest, it feels a bit like a small island abroad. If travelers really don’t want to squeeze in with the crowds and want to go to Kenting to play in the water, they might consider the bay of Wanlitongshanhai Community. (20210821)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Maobitou is located on the western cape of the southern tip of Taiwan. It is a typical coral reef coastal erosion terrain. It is far away from Eluanbi across the Bashi Channel. It is one of the two capes at the tail end of Taiwan and the dividing point between the Taiwan Strait and the Bashi Channel. It is named after its appearance which resembles a squatting cat. The long-term erosion of sea water has created such unique landscapes as sea trenches, sea potholes, and sea reef pillars, thus creating such a natural terrain. In addition, there are many kinds of marine life such as seaweed, as well as various fish, shrimps and shellfish breeding here. Maobitou can be said to be a textbook of nature. Maobitou is not as popular as Eluanbi in terms of tourists and popularity, but many couples still choose to stay here to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Appreciating this textbook of nature from a different perspective is even more worth exploring because of its beauty. (20210821)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Catholic Church of King Jesus is located in the Cocoa Chocolate Park in Jiazuo Village, Wanluan Township, Pingtung County. The Church of King Jesus was built in 1962. After being abandoned for decades, the roof was overgrown with weeds. Later, the Pingtung County Government obtained the consent of the Catholic Diocese of Kaohsiung to renovate and revitalize the old church. Pingtung County Road 185 has a unique "mountain road church cluster" in Taiwan, including well-known churches such as Wanjin Our Lady Church, Jiazuo Jesus King Church, Yuhuan Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Jiaping Fatima Catholic Church, etc. The pure white Church of the King Jesus appears solemn, sacred and beautiful in the green cocoa plantation, making it the latest attraction in Pingtung that combines religious beliefs and cocoa culture.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Speaking of cocoa, there are quite a few cocoa plantations in Pingtung, and there is also a cocoa park in Wanluan, where a cocoa festival is held every year. Some cocoa farms in Pingtung area will exhibit and sell their own cocoa products here, as well as the achievements of cocoa bean products. In addition, there is a century-old Catholic church in the Cocoa Park. The entire white church attracts many fans and wedding industry professionals to check in and take wedding photos. The Catholic Church of Jesus the King was originally the site of the Jiazuo Catholic Church of the Kaohsiung Diocese. It was abandoned for many years and was later renovated to have such a brand new look. If you come to Wanluan to eat pig's trotters, don't forget to visit the cocoa plantation area, which is not far from the pig's trotter street. (20211128)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 It was my first time to visit Xiaoliuqiu, and the three-day and two-night trip was very enjoyable! We arrived at the pier at about 16:10 on the first afternoon. Since we had booked a SUP experience (including aerial photography) at 16:30, we rushed to the car rental point as soon as we arrived. However, because I didn’t have an international driver’s license, I couldn’t rent an electric scooter. In the end, I chose an electric bicycle, which is also very convenient. We arrived at the meeting point at around 17:30, but luckily the coach was very nice and the activity went smoothly until 18:30. In the evening, I returned to the B&B and after a quick wash, I went out to look for food. I tried the local sesame noodles and braised pork rice, which tasted simple and good. We woke up at 07:00 the next morning, had omelets and black tea for breakfast, and gathered at the designated location at 08:30 to prepare for the diving experience. It was my first time diving, so I was inevitably nervous at the beginning, but the instructor was very patient and guided me to relax and breathe during the process. Seeing the corals and turtles on the seabed really makes me feel that everything is worth it! After the activity, we returned to the B&B to rest. At noon, we bought some local snacks and enjoyed them slowly in the room. As the weather turned cooler in the afternoon, we cycled again to explore the island, stopping by several scenic spots to take photos along the way. I had a local goose dish for dinner that impressed me deeply. I would recommend it to my friends who love to try new things. After checking out at 10:00 on the third day, we stored our luggage at the B&B and then went for a brief visit to the nearby Wugui Cave, marking the end of our trip to Xiaoliuqiu. Then take a boat back to Donggang and transfer to public transportation back to Zuoying, Kaohsiung. Although there were some minor incidents during the entire trip, it left me with a lot of memories and beautiful photos, and made me like the pace and scenery of this island more.

Pengcun Wetland Park is located at the junction of Donggang Town and Linbian Township in Pingtung County. It takes about three minutes to get there from the Donggang Interchange of National Highway No. 3. It is close to Provincial Highway No. 1 and has convenient transportation. Pengcun Wetland Park covers an area of ​​about 10 hectares and is one of the six wetland parks within the jurisdiction of Pingtung Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area (Pengcun, Zuo'an, You'an, Datan, Qifeng, and Mangrove Restoration). There are four protected mangrove species in Pengcun Wetland, and wetlands have been introduced to create an ecological wetland park with flood retention, water purification and biodiversity. There is an installation art called "The Creator's Hand" in the park, which has won the Silver Award for Sculpture Design at the American Muse Design Award and the 2021 Italian Design Award. In addition, there is a wooden bridge across the lagoon in the wetland. There is a pavilion in the middle where tourists can rest and watch various bird activities.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Today is Christmas, December 25th. Before Christmas, all the churches will be decorated beautifully. The Taiwan Presbyterian Church is a church with a history of over 100 years. It was founded in 1871, and its annual lighting event always attracts many tourists to the church to check in and take photos. Two weeks ago, I saw on the Internet that there would be a lighting ceremony at 7pm, so my family and I wandered around Pingtung Park and took photos. We then walked slowly over half an hour before the lighting ceremony, as Pingtung Park is only a five-minute walk from the church. A Christmas light tree had been installed in front of the church gate and it looked very nice, but there were not as many people on the scene as I had expected, less than ten people. I was still wondering why the lighting ceremony had not started at seven o'clock, and after more than ten minutes I couldn't stand it anymore and checked online. Later I found out that it was a big misunderstanding. The lighting ceremony was at the Taiwan Presbyterian Church of Peace on Minzu Road, not the Taiwan Presbyterian Church of Peace on Ren'ai Road. The difference between the two words made a world of difference. I saw on Facebook that the live broadcast site was packed with people. Although the drive between the two places is less than ten minutes, it is conceivable that there will be no parking space nearby. I can only come back next week because there will be several lighting sessions, so I won’t go to join in the fun. The Taiwan Presbyterian Church also has a lighting ceremony, but the date has not yet been scheduled so we can only take some photos of the church's exterior and the Christmas tree lights here. We will come here again to take photos after the lighting ceremony date arrives. (20201225)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The bay "White Sand Bay", named after the high content of white and fine shell sand on the beach, is located on the west coast of Kenting Park, along the beach northwest of Maobitou Park. This is also the location where many movie scenes were shot, such as the filming locations of "Life of Pi" and "Cape No. 7" directed by Ang Lee. Since it is Kenting’s seaside, water activities are of course indispensable. There are various combinations of water activities depending on what tourists want to play. The site also provides camping services, so you will never be bored here. The park is well planned and the place is just like the Nanyang style with coconut groves and beaches. Whether you are lying on the beach for sunbathing or swinging in a hammock in the coconut grove, you can enjoy this wonderful holiday leisurely. (20210821)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Art Kitchen is located in the "J.C. co Art Kitchen Must-win Store" in the Shengli Xingcun Creative Life Park in Pingtung City. This restaurant was built from the original military village official residence. The entire store is surrounded by green plants, which is quite healing. The main product of Art Kitchen is ice cream, among which dog-shaped ice cream is the favorite of tourists. There are three different dog-shaped flavors: "Cher" is Earl Grey milk tea flavored and shaped like a Labrador puppy, "Dou Dou" is shaped like an Italian chocolate pug, and "Chou Chou" is shaped like a fragrant peanut Shar-Pei. When the dog-shaped ice was served on the table, my heart almost melted when I saw its cute eyes. It was made so realistically that I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. How could there be such a cute dog-shaped ice?… I couldn't bear to give it up, but I spent a lot of money to buy it. After looking at it for a long time, I finally gave it to him... and swallowed it mouthful by mouthful. Please don't blame me, okay, dog.
