🏝️【Taiwan・Xiaoliuqiu｜The sea breeze is gentle, time is slow】

⠀
The first time I came to Xiaoliuqiu, I was conquered by the healing feeling of this mini island.
⠀
Take a boat for 20 minutes, it's like traveling through a transparent time tunnel, jumping from a busy life into an island world of sunshine, sea breeze, and salty smell.
⠀
🐢 The most famous here is of course the "sea turtles". You can see them gliding gracefully by your side when you snorkel. It is a completely dreamy first experience under the sea. Even if you just stand in the intertidal zone on the shore, you can see the rich ecology: sea urchins, crabs, and small fish schools shuttle among them. The surprises of nature are everywhere.
⠀
📍You can ride a motorcycle around the island in less than half an hour, but every stop is worth stopping to see:
• Vase Rock: a landmark and a check-in spot
• Beauty Cave: mysterious and cool stalactite terrain
• Baishawei: a beautiful angle to watch the sunset
⠀
☀️ My favorite is the beach at dusk, the sun shines on the waves and sparkles, and there is a feeling of "I want to stay here for a few more days".
⠀
🛖 Stay in a local B&B at night and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. There are no high-rise buildings, no traffic lights, only insects chirping and sea breeze blowing. Such days are too comfortable.

📝 Small notes:
✔ Xiaoliuqiu is the only coral reef island in Taiwan. Please remember "do not destroy, do not trample, and do not take away"!
✔ You don’t have to snorkel, free diving, stand-up paddle boarding, and intertidal zone guided tours are all highly recommended
✔ There are many people in the summer, and autumn is also a special experience
