Taitung Green Island

　　   Green Island is situated in the eastern sea of Taitung County, approximately 18 nautical miles from Taitung. With an area of 15.034 square kilometers, it is the fourth largest island in the province, following Penghu, Orchid Island, and Yiweng Island. Most of Green Island’s main scenic spots are located along a roughly 16.3-kilometer-long cement coastal ring road. These include Nanliao Bay, Green Island Lighthouse, Green Island Park, General Rock, Loumen Rock, Guanyin Cave, Pomelo Lake, Sea Cucumber Flat, Green Island Hot Springs, Sail Nose, Horseshoe Bridge, Lobster Cave, and Ghost Cave. In addition, ongoing developments such as the Zhongliao Beach Park, yacht harbor, and diving base have helped elevate Green Island into a popular destination for sightseeing and vacation. Snorkeling, submarine rides, and glass-bottom boat tours are emerging water activities on the island, with snorkeling and submarine trips being especially favored.
