Gupo Islet

Gupo Islet spans around 0.3 square kilometers and is the largest uninhabited island in the northern region of the Penghu Archipelago. It boasts a large expanse of green grassland, and on one side, there are white sandy beaches and rocky coastlines. Visitors can enjoy wading in the shallow waters here and admire the stunning coral reefs and tropical fish. In addition, Gupo Islet is also one of the well-known areas for producing dried seaweed (nori), yielding a high quantity of high-quality product. Currently, it is public property owned by Chikan Village and is managed under the unified planning of the village committee. Every winter during the harvest season, villagers charter boats en masse to the islet, creating an unprecedented spectacle that represents a unique centennial local tradition in the northern sea area. The uninhabited islet is also home to numerous bird species, particularly terns such as the bridled tern and roseate tern, attracting significant attention from birdwatchers.
