We were here in the off season so not too many business were open. It was very quiet though. The weather did not cooperate at all. Not that you can judge the weather here at all in Taiwan. But maybe February is not the best month. More

Beautiful island that is small enough to circle with a motor scooter in a few hours. Three great snorkeling areas: Chaikou, Shilang, and Dabaisha. We liked the latter the most. All of these "beaches" have coral formations that gradually descend into the sea. So there isn't any opportunity to play in the waves. But the snorkeling is great! I would... More

My highlights on Green Island were the cycling around the island, scuba diving and visiting the shops dotted along the Nanliao street. Cycling might not be the best choice with most people going around the tiny island on motocycles, but I did it with a bicycle, petty excting within the 3 hours on on the road, I stopped for some...

Travelling on Green Island can make you forget about reality for a moment. Enjoying the endless scenery, cruise around the island on scooter, dive if you wish, a hot spring that opens until 2am. On this Island, time is not a factor, you eat when you're hungry, you play when you're bored, it is a place to relax oneself and... More

We stayed at the Par Far Hotel for two nights. Nothing fancy, but a great deal- ferry crossing(s), scooter rental, snorkeling, most meals and hot spring were included in price. Ask for the top, ocean-facing room as it has the best view. January is off-season so there were no crowds. The Green Island prison is worth a visit. The facility... More

Green Island is beautiful. I went there because the travel books recommend it. However, I must admit I left the island very disappointed. Beginning with the airplane ride there, it was a very small plane and somewhat frightening. Next, the hotel that I paid a lofty amount to stay in was small, dirty, and had many bugs. My room consisted... More
