The world’s most beautiful diving destinations are in Taiwan — foreign divers are amazed

Orchid Island, Taiwan’s most pristine island and a renowned diving spot, lies along the northward flow of the Kuroshio Current. The marine life in its waters is exceptionally rich in both variety and abundance. Especially with its unpolluted environment and crystal-clear seawater, the coral reef ecosystem of Orchid Island can be said to be the most beautiful in the nearby waters of Taiwan.

The leisure activities of the local residents are also often related to the sea — fishing, swimming, diving, and even foraging for food in the ocean. When visiting Orchid Island, many hidden spots can only be found with the help of a local guide. This time, Vidol Video Adventure King came here and enlisted Ah Xiong, known as Orchid Island’s “GPS,” as their guide. The beautiful sea is Orchid Island’s most precious gift. During the day, you can go snorkeling with your guide to explore the underwater beauty of Orchid Island. And don’t think the underwater world closes at night — catching lobsters is one of the locals’ favorite pastimes after dark.

In addition to its rich underwater world, Orchid Island also boasts diverse land flora and fauna. Among them, “water taro” is an indispensable staple food for the local Tao people, serving not only as their daily diet but also as a gift for friends and family. The size of a taro field is even seen as a display of wealth. To allow readers to experience the scenery of Orchid Island firsthand, Vidol Video’s “Adventure King” specially went to Orchid Island to shoot a VR360 video (you can change the perspective by clicking and dragging with your mouse)
