2025 Pingtung Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If the green sea turtle is the representative animal of Xiaoliuqiu, then the landmark of Xiaoliuqiu is the Vase Rock. Vase Rock is a coral limestone located on the beach coast in front of Daitian Palace. It is about 9 meters high. Due to years of erosion and scouring by sea water, the stone pillars at the bottom have gradually become smaller and thinner. Vase Rock is a popular tourist attraction on the Internet. Tourists who come to Xiaoliuqiu will definitely come here to take photos with Vase Rock. The beach is only a few meters away from Vase Rock, so it is very suitable for taking photos. The waters near Vase Rock are also a great spot for snorkeling, where you can see many groups of tourists led by coaches for snorkeling activities. The coral reefs, green turtles and various fish of Xiaoliuqiu are animals and plants that are often seen during snorkeling activities. We also hope that tourists can cherish the natural ecology and scenery when engaging in various activities here, so as to ensure the endless tourism resources of Xiaoliuqiu. (20250510)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 After lunch, the kids wanted to eat ice cream, so the whole family rode their motorcycles on the streets of Xiaoliuqiu looking for an ice cream shop. It was not easy to find an ice cream shop in the south of the border. Later I saw a shop with a white exterior on the street and decided to come here to have some ice cream! Pretty straightforward. This ice cream shop has a minimum consumption requirement if you are over 12 years old. We had one person under 12 years old so we ordered three ice creams with different flavors. The ice cream here is all hand-made ice cubes with various flavors of shaved ice. The texture of shaved ice is very dense and cool in the mouth and in the heart. After a light rain for about half an hour in the morning, the sun was shining brightly in Xiaoliuqiu. Everyone was also hot from the hot weather. But after a while, three bowls of shaved ice were finished. After the meal, everyone continued their tour around Xiaoliuqiu with satisfied expressions. (20200510)

The Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area Administration, established in November 1997, is located in Donggang Township, Pingtung County, within the Dapeng Bay Scenic Area. Its responsibilities include application services, guided tour reservations, service satisfaction surveys, tourism safety promotion, ecological inspections for tourism projects, and emergency notifications. Inside the administration, there is a visitor service center showcasing delightful miniature models of the main lanterns from Taiwan Lantern Festivals held across various counties and cities over the years. The park also features a charming auxiliary lantern from the Pingtung Lantern Festival, shaped like a pig named 'Ping An Pig,' and a striking white tuna art installation with the character '鮪' displayed on its tail, making it a must-visit spot for photos and social media check-ins. The surrounding area boasts rich biodiversity, with various bird species and aquatic plants thriving. Volunteers actively share knowledge about ecological conservation, and visitors can inquire further at the administration center for more information.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Before arriving at Xiaoliuqiu Baisha Port by boat from Donggang, you can see a red-tiled and white-walled building halfway up the mountain, with a slightly Spanish feel. It was previously the library of Liuqiu Township and was later renovated in 2011 and officially opened as the Liuqiu Visitor Center in 2012. Since Liuqiu Township was incorporated into the management scope of Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area in 2000, the library was converted into a tourist service center in order to cope with the increasing number of tourists and provide better service quality. The tourist service center is divided into three floors. The first floor is the management center office, the second floor is the tourism information counter and conference room, and the third floor is the dormitory area which is not open to the public. The Dapeng Bay fan club meeting was also held in the conference room. Each fan member who came to Xiaoliuqiu was given a small gift and then watched a 3D film introducing Xiaoliuqiu. When you put on 3D glasses and see the fish and loggerheads, it feels like you are swimming in the sea with these fish. The images are very realistic and three-dimensional. The conference room also provides guided video booking service for groups of 20 or more people, and can accommodate up to 75 people indoors. After finishing the guided tour video, the fans group continued their next itinerary, which was to go to a restaurant for lunch to enjoy local food.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 There are currently five fishing ports in Xiaoliuqiu, including Baishawei Sightseeing Fishing Port, Shanfu Fishing Port, Haizikou Fishing Port, Dafu Fishing Port and Yufu Fishing Port. Public ships dock at Dafu Fishing Harbor, while privately-owned ships dock at Baisha Tourist Harbor. Xiaoliuqiu is also the only outlying island in Pingtung. It is about 14 kilometers from Donggang Wharf to Baisha Tourist Port and only takes 25 minutes to reach Xiaoliuqiu. When you enter Baisha Tourist Harbor, you can see a building with a colorful exterior. It has been planned to be a duty-free shop and the ticket office for private transport ships is also here. The bus departs from Donggang to Xiaoliuqiu from 0700 to 1700 every morning, and the bus departs from Xiaoliuqiu to Donggang from 0740 to 1730. The above are fixed schedules, and the schedule may be adjusted depending on wind and waves and seasons.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 In fact, the main purpose of my visit to Xiaoliuqiu is to appreciate the green loggerheads. The two best ways to appreciate the green loggerheads are diving (snorkeling) or taking a semi-submarine boat. In the end, we chose the most labor-saving way, which is to take a semi-submarine boat. Exploring Latin America is the best choice. In fact, in addition to admiring the green loggerheads, Explore Latin America also has other package tours such as exploring the ocean, sunset tours, intellectual cruises, all-around challenges, ocean parks, SUP experiences (stand up paddling) and other package tours. Visitors can choose the itinerary activities they want based on their preferences or prices. Our luck was quite good today. The visibility on the seabed was very clear. We saw more than 20 green loggerheads in one voyage. Occasionally, we would see a few green loggerheads swimming to the surface to breathe. As soon as we spotted the green loggerheads, we could hear screams from both adults and children in the cabin. This is a pleasant marine ecological journey full of intellect and emotion. It allows people to understand the relationship between humans and living things, which is mutual tolerance and reproduction so that all things in the universe can continue to thrive. After talking a lot of nonsense, the key point is to plan your holiday itinerary well. If you come to Xiaoliuqiu, taking a semi-submarine boat is a great itinerary option. I recommend this itinerary to friends who want to visit Xiaoliuqiu.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 In recent years, some coffee trees and cocoa bean trees have been planted in Pingtung. Although the production capacity is not very large, the quality is indeed very good. I took my kids out for an outing again this weekend, and our destination was the Fuwan Chocolate Factory in Donggang Town, which is also a tourist factory that also provides parent-child DIY chocolate making. There is a beautiful building with green exterior in front of the entrance. In addition to selling some ice cream, drinks and meals, of course, the signature of this factory is chocolate. I don’t know if it’s because I won the championship and the gold medal, or because things are rare and valuable, but I really can’t afford to spend several hundred dollars on just one piece of chocolate. It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it, you can come to the DIY classroom and make chocolate with the kids. During the process, you can see the focused eyes of the kids and how they carefully put the ingredients according to the teacher’s instructions to create their own work. Other kids can’t wait to start eating it, with satisfied expressions written all over their faces. In addition to beautiful buildings, there is also a lawn in the factory where children can jump, chase and play. Under the awning next to it, you can see workers peeling cocoa beans. The cocoa fruits in the wooden boxes look like papayas, bitter gourds, and golden mangoes. There are all kinds of bright and beautiful colors. There is a glass house opposite the awning, where the cocoa beans that have been taken out are being exposed to sunlight. The glass house has a large electric fan exhaust fan to adjust the temperature inside the house. This tourist factory is just like their chocolate, it is a high-quality tourist factory with good environment and all aspects. I think people would still support the chocolate if it was more affordable, instead of them raising their prices just because they won an award. In Taiwan, you can see stores everywhere that set their prices very high after winning awards in competitions. In the end, these stores suffer because their products are too high-end and their business cannot continue. Of course, the purpose of doing business is to make money, but setting the profit too high is profiteering. The balance between profit cost and sales volume tests the wisdom of the store owner.

Pingtung Art Museum, located across from the Pacific Department Store in downtown Pingtung City, was originally the site of the Pingtung City Office and officially opened in January 2013. The museum is designed with two floors: the first floor serves as a special exhibition space, while the second floor is dedicated to permanent collections and includes a small area for curated submissions. Today, I made time to visit the museum to see the special exhibition "Follow the Hazy, Humid Day to Pingtung," part of Japanese contemporary artist Yoshitomo Nara's ten-year touring project in Taiwan. This exhibition, the third stop in Taiwan, will end on May 25. It features approximately 59 pieces of Nara's works, including ceramics, sketches, and photographs. Additionally, a merchandise area is set up at the Pingtung Martial Arts Hall behind the museum, offering various items such as posters, postcards, glass cups, and phone cases. Yoshitomo Nara plans to hold a ten-stop tour across Taiwan, so those interested in his works can visit the venue closest to them to enjoy the exhibition. (20250504)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Dapeng Bay is located in Donggang Town, Pingtung County, and spans Donggang Town and Linbian Township. Dapeng Bay is the only large lagoon terrain on the southwest coast of Taiwan and the largest inner bay in Taiwan. The waters in the bay are about 3,500 meters long and 1,800 meters wide, with a total area of ​​more than 532 hectares and an average water depth of 2-6 meters. In the past, the waters of Dapeng Bay were where Donggang people cultivated oysters. The islands filled with oyster racks and oyster shells formed a spectacle. In 2003, the Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area Management Office officially took over and replaced it with a fully planned recreational facility and ecological protection area, which, together with Donggang's fishery, culture and other tourism industries, formed a rich and diverse national scenic area. Various types of sailing competitions are held in the waters of Dapeng Bay every year, and there are also canoeing, SUP, lake cruises, and large sailboat rides. In addition, the waters in the area are rich in animal and plant ecological resources, including unique mangroves, sea ash, and coastal plants such as saddle vine, agarwood, and bitterwood. The animal landscape is mainly composed of birds, fish and soft-shelled turtles. Dapeng Bay is not only a good place for water activities but also the best place for animal and plant ecological conservation.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The power of the Internet is terrifying. If it weren’t for the spread of the Internet, not many customers would know about Yichenghaku’s noodle shop. That’s right, we followed the map to come to this legendary popular noodle shop. This noodle shop is hidden in a narrow alley and is actually very easy to find because when you arrive at the entrance of the alley, you will see a bunch of people walking into the alley. Because of its popularity, we were afraid of queuing and not being able to get a table, so we rushed into the alley as soon as we arrived at 11 o'clock that day. Oh my god~~~ When we got to the door of the noodle shop, there were already a lot of people waiting for a table. The waiting number we got was 47. The store owner is really considerate of the customers' hard work in queuing in such hot weather, so the number plate is a fan with the number on it. The courtyard and the streets in the alley were filled with customers waiting to eat noodles. If everyone didn't leave, based on the number of tables in the restaurant and the fact that each group of customers only had half an hour to dine, we might not be able to get a table until the evening. I immediately told my wife that we should go out to eat Ligang wontons and pork trotters! The restaurant attracts many foodies with its Japanese-style facade, garden style and simple house appearance. However, the indoor space with only a few tables cannot accommodate so many guests.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Due to some mishap on 12/5, I missed the first lamp lighting ceremony that evening, but later I found another time to watch the church's lamp lighting ceremony. The Taiwan Presbyterian Church is on Ren'ai Road in Pingtung City, and my destination is the Taiwan Presbyterian Church Peace Church on Minzu Road. Pingtung Peace Presbyterian Church was founded on August 16, 1952. Although its history is not as long as that of the Taiwan Christian Presbyterian Church on Ren'ai Road, the gingerbread house street scene and lighting ceremony on Christmas Eve over the years have made the church famous. In particular, the street view of the gingerbread house, which is said to be the largest in Taiwan, attracts many tourists to check in and take photos. At night, when the lights in the gingerbread house are turned on, the entire gingerbread house city becomes brightly lit. As soon as the holidays come, there are endless tourists surrounding the gingerbread house city. Everyone wants to get the best angle and stretches their arms to take beautiful pictures of the gingerbread house street scene. In recent years, more and more tourists have come here just to see these works. If tourists want to take photos, they may have to move faster next time, otherwise they may not be able to squeeze into the small lobby. (20201206)

The Kenting Rijing Villa is full of Instagram-worthy vibes. The pool alone is worth hours of photoshoots! The rooftop open-air bar is also super cool. They've got shot glasses ready to go, plus champagne lights. The rooms are spacious and clean, and there's even a washer and dryer. Staying for two or three days here is completely worry-free. They've got electric mahjong, karaoke, and barbecue facilities. Highly recommend the Rijing Villa in Kenting. It's fantastic!

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Wanlitongshanhai Community is located next to YOHO Kenting Resort. This community has a small bay beach, which is much smaller than Nanwan Beach, but I personally think the scenery here is much more beautiful than Nanwan. This should also be considered a secret place. When people go to Kenting, they always like to go to Nanwan or Sail Rock to squeeze in with the crowds. Relatively speaking, there are fewer tourists coming here to play in the water and it is not so crowded. Of course, there are not as many water activities here as in South Bay, but it is relatively safe. To be honest, it feels a bit like a small island abroad. If travelers really don’t want to squeeze in with the crowds and want to go to Kenting to play in the water, they might consider the bay of Wanlitongshanhai Community. (20210821)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Maobitou is located on the western cape of the southern tip of Taiwan. It is a typical coral reef coastal erosion terrain. It is far away from Eluanbi across the Bashi Channel. It is one of the two capes at the tail end of Taiwan and the dividing point between the Taiwan Strait and the Bashi Channel. It is named after its appearance which resembles a squatting cat. The long-term erosion of sea water has created such unique landscapes as sea trenches, sea potholes, and sea reef pillars, thus creating such a natural terrain. In addition, there are many kinds of marine life such as seaweed, as well as various fish, shrimps and shellfish breeding here. Maobitou can be said to be a textbook of nature. Maobitou is not as popular as Eluanbi in terms of tourists and popularity, but many couples still choose to stay here to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Appreciating this textbook of nature from a different perspective is even more worth exploring because of its beauty. (20210821)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Catholic Church of King Jesus is located in the Cocoa Chocolate Park in Jiazuo Village, Wanluan Township, Pingtung County. The Church of King Jesus was built in 1962. After being abandoned for decades, the roof was overgrown with weeds. Later, the Pingtung County Government obtained the consent of the Catholic Diocese of Kaohsiung to renovate and revitalize the old church. Pingtung County Road 185 has a unique "mountain road church cluster" in Taiwan, including well-known churches such as Wanjin Our Lady Church, Jiazuo Jesus King Church, Yuhuan Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Jiaping Fatima Catholic Church, etc. The pure white Church of the King Jesus appears solemn, sacred and beautiful in the green cocoa plantation, making it the latest attraction in Pingtung that combines religious beliefs and cocoa culture.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Speaking of cocoa, there are quite a few cocoa plantations in Pingtung, and there is also a cocoa park in Wanluan, where a cocoa festival is held every year. Some cocoa farms in Pingtung area will exhibit and sell their own cocoa products here, as well as the achievements of cocoa bean products. In addition, there is a century-old Catholic church in the Cocoa Park. The entire white church attracts many fans and wedding industry professionals to check in and take wedding photos. The Catholic Church of Jesus the King was originally the site of the Jiazuo Catholic Church of the Kaohsiung Diocese. It was abandoned for many years and was later renovated to have such a brand new look. If you come to Wanluan to eat pig's trotters, don't forget to visit the cocoa plantation area, which is not far from the pig's trotter street. (20211128)

Pengcun Wetland Park is located at the junction of Donggang Town and Linbian Township in Pingtung County. It takes about three minutes to get there from the Donggang Interchange of National Highway No. 3. It is close to Provincial Highway No. 1 and has convenient transportation. Pengcun Wetland Park covers an area of ​​about 10 hectares and is one of the six wetland parks within the jurisdiction of Pingtung Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area (Pengcun, Zuo'an, You'an, Datan, Qifeng, and Mangrove Restoration). There are four protected mangrove species in Pengcun Wetland, and wetlands have been introduced to create an ecological wetland park with flood retention, water purification and biodiversity. There is an installation art called "The Creator's Hand" in the park, which has won the Silver Award for Sculpture Design at the American Muse Design Award and the 2021 Italian Design Award. In addition, there is a wooden bridge across the lagoon in the wetland. There is a pavilion in the middle where tourists can rest and watch various bird activities.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Today is Christmas, December 25th. Before Christmas, all the churches will be decorated beautifully. The Taiwan Presbyterian Church is a church with a history of over 100 years. It was founded in 1871, and its annual lighting event always attracts many tourists to the church to check in and take photos. Two weeks ago, I saw on the Internet that there would be a lighting ceremony at 7pm, so my family and I wandered around Pingtung Park and took photos. We then walked slowly over half an hour before the lighting ceremony, as Pingtung Park is only a five-minute walk from the church. A Christmas light tree had been installed in front of the church gate and it looked very nice, but there were not as many people on the scene as I had expected, less than ten people. I was still wondering why the lighting ceremony had not started at seven o'clock, and after more than ten minutes I couldn't stand it anymore and checked online. Later I found out that it was a big misunderstanding. The lighting ceremony was at the Taiwan Presbyterian Church of Peace on Minzu Road, not the Taiwan Presbyterian Church of Peace on Ren'ai Road. The difference between the two words made a world of difference. I saw on Facebook that the live broadcast site was packed with people. Although the drive between the two places is less than ten minutes, it is conceivable that there will be no parking space nearby. I can only come back next week because there will be several lighting sessions, so I won’t go to join in the fun. The Taiwan Presbyterian Church also has a lighting ceremony, but the date has not yet been scheduled so we can only take some photos of the church's exterior and the Christmas tree lights here. We will come here again to take photos after the lighting ceremony date arrives. (20201225)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The bay "White Sand Bay", named after the high content of white and fine shell sand on the beach, is located on the west coast of Kenting Park, along the beach northwest of Maobitou Park. This is also the location where many movie scenes were shot, such as the filming locations of "Life of Pi" and "Cape No. 7" directed by Ang Lee. Since it is Kenting’s seaside, water activities are of course indispensable. There are various combinations of water activities depending on what tourists want to play. The site also provides camping services, so you will never be bored here. The park is well planned and the place is just like the Nanyang style with coconut groves and beaches. Whether you are lying on the beach for sunbathing or swinging in a hammock in the coconut grove, you can enjoy this wonderful holiday leisurely. (20210821)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Art Kitchen is located in the "J.C. co Art Kitchen Must-win Store" in the Shengli Xingcun Creative Life Park in Pingtung City. This restaurant was built from the original military village official residence. The entire store is surrounded by green plants, which is quite healing. The main product of Art Kitchen is ice cream, among which dog-shaped ice cream is the favorite of tourists. There are three different dog-shaped flavors: "Cher" is Earl Grey milk tea flavored and shaped like a Labrador puppy, "Dou Dou" is shaped like an Italian chocolate pug, and "Chou Chou" is shaped like a fragrant peanut Shar-Pei. When the dog-shaped ice was served on the table, my heart almost melted when I saw its cute eyes. It was made so realistically that I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. How could there be such a cute dog-shaped ice?… I couldn't bear to give it up, but I spent a lot of money to buy it. After looking at it for a long time, I finally gave it to him... and swallowed it mouthful by mouthful. Please don't blame me, okay, dog.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Binwan Park Pier is located at 5.5k on Binwan Highway in Donggang Town, Pingtung County, in the lagoon area of ​​Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area. Every April, the "Dapeng Bay Sailing Life Festival" is held at the Binwan Park Pier. This year, the theme of the event is "Huang Ama's Harem Life", and a 7-meter-high giant Huang Ama and harem cats check-in point will be set up. In addition, various activities such as sailing and canoeing competitions and independent band performances will be held in the lagoon area to promote tourism in Dapeng Bay.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Xinpi Comprehensive Leisure Park is located between County Road 189 and County Road 185 in Xinpi Township, Pingtung County. The park covers an area of ​​more than 5 hectares. Every spring, the township office plans a flower field in the park. When all the flowers bloom, many tourists come to enjoy the flowers, and vehicles fill up both sides of the road. There are some art installations in the park, including windmills and LOVE font installations, which, combined with a variety of colorful flowers, enhance the visual experience and make for beautiful photos. It is not far from Ping'e Highway and is a great place for holiday leisure.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Sheding Nature Park is located next to Kenting National Forest Recreation Area in Hengchun Township, Pingtung County. The park covers an area of ​​128.7 hectares. The geology here is a coral reef land formed by the topography of the seabed through crustal movement. There are various coral reef landforms in the park, such as rift valleys, canyons, and narrow strips of sky. In addition, there are many crevices, limestone caves, stalagmites, stone pillars, grandma stones, stalactites, and other geographical landscapes in the park. After heavy rain in April and May every year, it is the season for fireflies to hatch. In the evening, you can see twinkling yellow-green spots of light floating in the sky. Of course, in addition to fireflies, there are other animal and plant ecosystems waiting for tourists to come and watch, and understand how important conservation is to animals, plants, or humans.

Eluanbi Lighthouse is located at the southernmost tip of Hengchun Peninsula in Pingtung County, and it is one of the four extreme points of Taiwan's main island. Eluanbi Lighthouse was once listed as one of Taiwan's eight major scenic spots. Built in 1881, the lighthouse stands 21.4 meters tall and is equipped with a large fourth-order rotating lens electric light with an intensity of 1.8 million candlepower. It rotates once every 30 seconds and has a visibility range of 20 nautical miles, making it the most powerful lighthouse in Taiwan. Unlike other lighthouses with concrete structures, Eluanbi Lighthouse is a white iron round tower. The lighthouse is open to visitors, but entry into the tower itself is prohibited. There is also an exhibition hall that introduces the facilities and history related to the lighthouse. Compared to other lighthouse environments, this area is much larger and more open. Below the lighthouse is Eluanbi Cape, which is the southernmost point of Taiwan.

This time I came to Xiaoliuqiu and found a super beautiful Nanyang style B&B As soon as you enter, you will first walk through the path of sunlight and green plants. It's like arriving at a small island in the South Seas🏝️ I like the exclusive small courtyard in the quad room the most~ It's so chill to have afternoon tea here as soon as you enter the room There are romantic swan towels on the bed in the room Lovely breakfast delivered in a picnic basket The double room also has a bathtub with lemon slices and flower petals. The island resort atmosphere is at its maximum! 📍Flowering Villa Flower Trail No. 199, Fuxing Road, Liuqiu Township, Pingtung County #Xiaoliuqiu#Xiaoliuqiu Attractions#Xiaoliuqiu Food#Pingtung#Taiwan#Xiaoliuqiu Homestay#Xiaoliuqiu Accommodation#Huagangjing#travel#pingtung#taiwan#liuqiu#Island #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Formosa Cocoa Farm is located in Neipu, Pingtung, which is an important town for cocoa planting and production. The simple and artistic bare concrete architectural style without too many embellishments can also set off the overall extraordinary taste. Of course, cocoa-related products are indispensable here. Chocolate is a favorite of tourists. The manor also participated in many competitions and won good awards. With these award-winning products, customers are more likely to buy in. In the winter, a cup of strong, pure and fragrant 75° hot cocoa is not only delicious but also warms the heart.

Early the next morning, we headed straight to Xuri Pavilion to watch the sunrise 🌅! Remember to check the sunrise time the day before. There's also a black cat at Xuri Pavilion that always comes to play with people, which is super fun! After watching the magnificent sunrise, we continued our journey on the scooter, heading straight to Hong Mama's breakfast shop. There, I tasted the local specialty of Xiao Liuqiu - Liuqiu Cake, paired with a cup of not-too-sweet but super delicious soy milk, which was the perfect energy boost for the morning! A small reminder: there are no seats in the shop, so you can only take it back to the B&B to enjoy slowly. After breakfast, we took advantage of the quiet morning and quickly set off to Vase Rock ⛰️! There were very few people here, so we could take photos without any interruptions. The sea water was so clean that it was amazing, and after playing in the water, you wouldn't feel sticky at all. The sea breeze gently blowing felt super comfortable! The next stop was my favorite - Lobster Cave! It's completely free, and noon is the best time to see sea turtles 🐢. You can usually see at least ten turtles at a glance! But note: they appear most frequently at noon, so remember not to wear slippery shoes because you need to be careful when climbing the rocks to enter the cave. The cave entrance is simply the perfect background for photos 😍! In the afternoon, a must-visit spot is the signature Beauty Cave of Xiao Liuqiu. However, there is an entrance fee, and it tends to be more crowded than Lobster Cave. So if you just want to quietly admire the sea turtles, Lobster Cave is more suitable. But besides sea turtles, Beauty Cave also has unique terrain and scenery, making it a highlight not to be missed in Xiao Liuqiu! Next up is the main event of the island: kayaking or diving experience! If you don't want to get wet, kayaking is the first choice; but if you want to observe sea turtles up close from another angle, diving is perfect! It's recommended to book tickets online in advance for better prices. Finally, if you have enough time, you can head to the nearest port along the left side of Xuri Pavilion. There's a breakwater and a section of stairs there. Climb up and sit down to enjoy the solitude with only the sound of waves and a peaceful environment. It's truly calming.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Pingtung Opera Story House is located in Chaozhou Town, Pingtung. The house was built in 1916 and is a century-old building. During the Japanese colonial period, the old Mingzhuang Office was originally the Chunghwa Post Office and was later transformed and renamed the Opera Story House. The building has a Baroque black-tiled and red-brick bungalow exterior. Inside, there is an introduction to the history of the museum, and information and displays related to opera are displayed. The entire museum area is not very large. Chaozhou is also known as the "hometown of opera". The famous Taiwanese opera troupe "Ming Hua Yuan" is a local troupe based in Chaozhou.
