Liuchiu Island, commonly known as Little Liuchiu, is a coral reef island southwest of Donggang, Pingtung, Taiwan. It is currently under the jurisdiction of Liuchiu Township, Pingtung County and is also included in the Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area. The famous natural wonder ‘Vase Rock’ on the island is a place for tourists to take commemorative photos. The ‘Sunset Viewing Pavilion’ is a great sunset viewing spot in Taiwan.


‘Beauty Cave’ and the island’s tourist attraction ‘Black Devil Cave’ have unique landscapes that are breathtaking. In addition, ‘Haban Bay’, a place for snorkeling and playing in the water, can be compared to Honolulu’s Kona Bay. Nature’s uncanny workmanship has created various strange rocks on the island! The waterway journey to Little Liuchiu takes about 40 minutes. On the island, you can take the island-circling bus and travel around tourist attractions along the island-circling highway and an inland highway that traverses the entire island.


The whole journey takes about 1 to 2 hours. You can also go to Baisha Wharf and take the Little Liuchiu underwater sightseeing submarine to explore the mysterious underwater world. The whole journey takes about 30 minutes.


Opening hours: Open all year round and all day.

Must-see tips:


1. Little Liuchiu is an offshore island. You must take a boat. Tourists who get seasick should remember to bring seasickness medicine.


2. For the intertidal zone, do not directly wear uncovered slippers or beach shoes. Wear special shoes for walking in the intertidal zone. If the intertidal zone activity time is at night, you need to bring your own flashlight. The guided tour of the intertidal zone depends on the time of low tide on that day. You can check it on the website of the Meteorological Bureau or ask the travel agency when planning your itinerary.


3. Pay attention to sun protection. You can bring a thin long shirt. Take a break at noon or take a transparent boat to see the underwater world. Set off to circle the island after 3:30 – 4:00 pm to avoid the scorching sun and see the beautiful sunset.
