This was known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lamey_Island_massacre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lamey Island Massacre<\/a>. Later, Chinese people began inhabiting the island in 1645.<br>Later, the island fell under Qing, Japanese, and ROC rule.<br>Currently, the island is a township of Pingtung County with a population of over 10,000 people. Most of the people on the island rely on fishing and tourism for a living.<br>The island also has one of the largest concentrations of temples in Taiwan.<br>Xiaoliuqiu started to become a major tourist destination after <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Xiaoliuqiu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2004<\/a>, reaching over 400,000 tourists per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules to consider:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do not go snorkeling or diving during bad weather, low tide, or big waves. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not trespass private property or government property that is off limits (such as military base, weather station, reservoir, or garbage dump)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not get near or touch sea turtles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not enter regulated inter-tidal zones without a licensed guide (see more below)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always snorkel or dive with a buddy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have fun<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regulated Inter-tidal Zones:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015 restrictions were placed on the inter-tidal zones in Xiaoliuqiu so that only those with a licensed guide could visit them and swimming is prohibited.

Xiaoliuqiu is a tropical island that has warm water and temperatures (above 25 degrees Celsius) year-round. However it is a little cooler and windier during the winter, and you should be sure to avoid Typhoons during summer (ferries will be canceled if there is a Typhoon).<br>However, it can get really crowded during summer break in July-August, so go during the off-season to avoid the crowds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

Parking was cheap, only 30 NT per day (no overnight parking), which was fine because we only came for a day trip. We ended up taking the private ferryboat over. While buying tickets, a lady asked us if we wanted to rent scooters and set us up with her friend who rents scooters on the island. We paid her right then, which seemed shady but it worked out. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<p>In October 2016, we visited for two days and drove a scooter to the ferry dock. We parked our scooter near the ferry with no problems. We bought tickets and rented scooters when we got there with no problems.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2020 we visited for four days. We drove by car to the ferry dock. I learned on the spot that the cheap 30 NT parking was not allowed overnight. So I went to the nearest parking garage which was 180 NT per day, but a nice man there at the entrance talked me into parking in his driveway for 500 NT for four days. We barely made the ferry on time, which for some reason was 30 minutes (usually the ferries are always on time). We booked our ferry ticket and scooter together on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klook.com\/en-US\/activity\/22886-xiaoliuqiu-round-trip-ticket-electric-bike-kenting\/?aid=33635&amp;aff_adid=718770&amp;spm=SearchResult.SearchResult_LIST&amp;clickId=b08c028c9a&amp;aff_label1=xiaoliuqiu%20kayak&amp;aff_label2=&amp;aff_label3=&amp;aff_pid=&amp;aff_sid=&amp;utm_medium=affiliate-alwayson&amp;utm_source=non-network&amp;utm_campaign=33635&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;aff_klick_id=39788518262-33635-718770-7c9d06e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Klook<\/a>, so it was a total of 1950 NT for two adult round-trip tickets, a child round-trip ticket, and a scooter rental for four days.

Right when we got off the boat, the scooter rental people found us and took us to our scooters. It was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kkday.com\/en\/product\/101882?cid=9223\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">300 NT<\/a> per scooter, which is very cheap for scooter rental. The scooter people didn\u2019t even look at our licenses, and they said themselves that helmets were not required. However, the second time we visited the rental shops all required us to wear helmets because the police had recently cracked down on tourists. We rode around the island on our scooters and saw everything from the shops to the beaches to more beaches and some restaurants. The weather was great every single time we went! Be aware that a few places require an entrance ticket. Also, some restaurants can be a little more expensive than one would expect in Kaohsiung, but some are cheaper too.<\/p>\n<p>Some places we have stayed at that I recommend are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&amp;cid=1837437&amp;hid=16860578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yujing 6.8<\/a>, which is a four-story house near Dafu Harbor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&amp;cid=1837437&amp;hid=36106884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boliu B&amp;B (\u67cf\u7409\u6c11\u5bbf)<\/a> which is also a nice newly renovated hostel right on the main street near lots of restaurants, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&amp;cid=1837437&amp;hid=7416991\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haichan Hostel,<\/a> which is a traditional three-sided Taiwanese mansion near the beach, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&amp;cid=1837437&amp;hid=7424618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baisha Bay B&amp;B<\/a> which is a great place near the main harbor that is only one story so there are no stairs.

12&#8217;48&#8217; north latitude and 120&#8242; 21&#8217;55&#8217; east longitude. It was built in 1929. The lighthouse is white in color and round in shape and is made of concrete. It is 10 meters tall from base to tip and flashes every 2.2 seconds day and night. The light can be seen up to 20 nautical miles away. Like the lighthouse at Eluanbi, it helps guide ships navigating through the Taiwan Strait and the Bashi Channel and is thus an international lighthouse. Under the bright sun, the white lighthouse stands out vividly against the blue sky, presenting a very different impression from its bright flashes of light at night.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/img-2487_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">View from the top of the lighthouse.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/img-2483_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">Some bamboo had fallen over in the latest typhoon, blocking the road to the lighthouse.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-large;\">Hundred Year Old Banyan Tree (<span style=\"color: #626262;\">\u767e\u5e74\u8001\u6995\u6a39)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/xiaoloiuqiu2-243_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">The hundred-year-old banyan tree (<span style=\"color: #626262;\">\u767e\u5e74\u8001\u6995\u6a39) <\/span>near the lighthouse.

In the old days, its entrance was a restricted gun emplacement; military control has been removed now, but the space inside is still well preserved. The trail follows the seashore all the way, giving visitors access to all kinds of special sea-eroded landscapes such as pillars, notches, and potholes. The path is lined by coastal vegetation such as the beach morning glory, necklace pod, Timor allophones, silver Messerschmitt, and beach naupaka, which not only add color to the sea-eroded terrain but also attract all kinds of insects. When the tide is out this is an excellent place to observe the intertidal life including crustaceans, mollusks, fish, and waterfowl. In addition, the trail faces to the west, making it perfect for watching the sunset from Liuqiu.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-rINVKOzipe4\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"rINVKOzipe4\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/rINVKOzipe4\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">You can check out our drone footage of the area above. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v21.0&#038;appId=609580882843833\"><\/script>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Foreignersintaiwanblog\/posts\/pfbid02uaHaA8CLgXP5VAhK9ZFJQ2wUitEyC2RB1eqdPEn3zCFiRkjo1WrXAfyAmuLDfdfCl\" data-width=\"750\" data-show-text=\"true\"><blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Foreignersintaiwanblog\/posts\/571015241718457\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\"><p>360 degree view from above the old artillery emplacement on the west side of Xiaoliuqiu.

Its surface is covered with coral limestone, and it is surrounded by uplifted coral reefs. Limestone cave terrain and coral reef coastal terrain encompass the entire island. Continuous wave erosion over the ages has carved out the limestone near the coastline, forming eroded features such as Beauty Cave, and Black Devil Cave. When the sea-eroded caves become enlarged, the upper layer of coral limestone loses its support and collapses, forming unique rockslide scenes such as Climbing Tiger Rock. The remaining supports stand in the water off the sea cliffs and are called Sea stacks; Flower Vase Rock is one of these.<br \/>In addition, rainwater percolating through cracks in the surface of limestone produces corrosion and gradually forms limestone caves that are narrow at the top and broad on the bottom. The most representative of this type of corroded terrain on Liuqiu is the Wild Boar Trench.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/xiaoloiuqiu2-320_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;\">Another view of the Flower Vase Rock.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/xiaoloiuqiu2-609_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;\">A group of people taking photos in front of the rock.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/xiaoloiuqiu2-530_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;\">There are also great views of the main Island of Taiwan from here, especially at night.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-large;\">Baishawei Harbor \u767d\u6c99\u5c3e\u6f01\u6e2f<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/xiaoloiuqiu2-319_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">Baishawei is the main harbor on the island.

As the sun comes up, its golden rays paint the layered clouds and the sea surface red in a brilliant display of the majestic changes of nature. The coastline below is an expanse of coral-rock terrain that points with finger-like projections into the sea, and you can frequently see fishermen there trying to harvest the sea\u2019s bounty. Like Sunset Pavilion, this spot was once an eroded wasteland that was developed with funds from the Environmental Protection Administration under a program for the restoration and reuse of lands, into a place where visitors and local residents alike can relax and observe the wonders of nature.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/xiaoloiuqiu2-315_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%;\">View from the pavilion here.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/uploads\/5\/4\/3\/2\/54326073\/img-2323-orig_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;\">View here from sunset.

Legend has it that during the Ming Dynasty, patriot (and pirate) Zheng Cheng-gong (known to the West as Koxinga) drove the Dutch colonizers from Taiwan in 1662, and a small number of the black slaves who had been forced to work took up residence in this cave. The cave is formed in a crack in the rock, a steep, winding recess that, according to legend, still contains stone tables, chairs, and beds from the time of the Qing Dynasty, and silver implements and jewelry were rumored to have been left. Today, however, the entrance has closed and is blocked. The Sweet Spring, Black Devil Rock Hole, Crystal Pond, Young\u2019s Well, and Wave Platform can be reached after strolling along the trail at the southernmost point of Liouciou. This area provides the best in natural views, where the outdoors and listen to the sound of the waves.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>However, this is not the true history of the cave.

This was known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lamey_Island_massacre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lamey Island Massacre<\/a>.

They also had savory seafood-flavored ice, which was weird. Also, there were the usual street markets that you would expect to find in Taiwan with any Taiwanese food you could ask for.<br>We almost got lost trying to find the port home; there were three different harbors on the island, and it took us a while to find the third one. But we eventually made it back, wishing we had stayed longer.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5141_79b63c-f7,
