Thousands of tiny islands adorn the Pacific, and these remnants of volcanic eruptions have evolved into tourists' hotspots, with prime diving and scenic beaches.
Green Island or Lyudao 綠島, located 21 miles off the eastern coast of Taiwan, is the perfect place to escape the congested mainland. No traffic noise or pollution here; just the coast, green mountains and plush vegetation. 

A tiny island, with just over 3000 residents makes this a great peaceful escape from a busy urban life. 

 

說明 Introduction

Most Taiwanese get around the country via motorbikes so naturally, the most effective way of getting around Green Island is by motorbike. You can admire the scenic views of the sea and sunset while riding along the roads on your way down the mountain.
 
Rental price: NTD 300 (USD $10)
Pumping petrol: A complete trip around Green Island is about 20km, NT 100 (USD $3) of fuel is enough to travel around Green Island twice. The island's only gas station is in Nanliao Village and its operating hours are 8:00 – 17:00.
 
 
Food

Surrounded by sea, Green Island is an isolated island that holds a dark history as the largest political prison during the Chinese Civil War, better known as White Terror, from 1950s to 1980s. Its interior is divided into two sections, New Life Correction Center and Green Island Reform and Reeducation Prison.
 
Undersea Hot Spring
