Getting around the island: Renting a scooter is recommended (approximately NT$300-400/day). The terrain is flat, making riding very convenient, and the distances between attractions are moderate.

Food Recommendation: Xiaoliuqiu Fried Dough Twists (a local specialty; each stall has a slightly different flavor, so feel free to try different ones).

Essential Tips:
1. Please be sure to bring sunscreen and a hat! The UV rays on the island are extremely strong; it's better to apply an extra layer than get sunburned.

2. When snorkeling, always go with a tour group and follow the instructor's instructions. The marine environment is well-protected; do not touch the sea turtles or leave any trash.
