For its unique geological formations, Little Liuqiu has a diverse natural environment, beautiful coastal views, and grotesque rocks along with many historical buildings.๐ŸŒŠ

The history of Little Liuqiu can be traced back to 1775, which is during Qing Dynasty when Mr Lee Yue reached the island from today’s Kaohsiung Port to take shelter from the storms.
He found the place inhabitable for its copious catch of fish and nice weather. And for being separated from the motherland Taiwan, this island to him was just like a ball drifting on the sea, from which Liuqiu (drifting ball) was named. โš“๏ธ

It takes only 40 minutes to circle around the island by scooters, and there are no traffic lights at all on this leisurely fishery village island. Since it is not influenced by northeastern monsoons in winter, visitors can come all year round. The pace of life is slow and free. No big budget is needed to enjoy the diverse ecology, authentic culture, and LOHAS life.๐Ÿคฟ


Last but not least, if you enjoy free diving /scuba diving, there have always been more than a hundred sea turtles spotted!๐Ÿข

P.s. Donโ€™t get too excited when you see a turtle, since touching one may cost you over 10K(USD) in fine! ๐Ÿ’ฐ
