Yilan Milk Lake and Guishan Island One-Day Tour: A Blue Miracle in a White Mist Dream

Departing by boat from Wushi Harbor, the sea breeze hits your face, and in less than half an hour, you arrive at the mysterious Guishan Island off the coast of Yilan. After landing, slowly walk up along the trail and gaze into the distance at the entire Guishan Island, which resembles a giant sea turtle—majestic and serene. The most stunning sight is the "Milk Lake"—the sea water interwoven with milky white and deep blue, like a dream. This is actually where underwater hot springs meet seawater, and the sulfur content gives the sea surface a unique milky color, making it look like floating in the clouds from afar. Besides sightseeing by boat, you can also experience circumnavigating the island, appreciating the eight scenic spots of Guishan from different angles: Turtle Head, Turtle Tail, Turtle Shell, Turtle Eye, and more, each with its own story. This journey not only slows your pace but also lets you feel the magical power of nature.

TIPS:
1️⃣ It is recommended to book your island landing quota in advance, as spots are limited and real-name registration is required.
2️⃣ Seasickness is common on the boat, remember to take seasickness medicine beforehand.
3️⃣ The best travel season is from April to October, with stable weather and good visibility.
4️⃣ There are no sales points on the island, please bring your own drinking water and snacks.
5️⃣ Remember to respect the natural environment, do not take or litter any items.
