Product Info
－ Itinerary Introduction －
Heavy sailboats are excellent vessels for ocean voyages. Experience the unique thrill of adventure like the Straw Hat Pirates, riding the waves in an activity suitable for everyone, even non-swimmers. In 2015, Guishan Island was named one of the 12 coolest islands in the world by Whenonearth; it is named for its turtle-like shape. The 'Milk Sea' is a unique landscape formed by the island's submarine hot springs. As the boat approaches, you can catch a faint scent of sulfur, and on clear days, the 'Yin-Yang Sea' scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
During the Qing Dynasty, Wushi Port was the largest city in Lanyang and a vital gateway to Toucheng. 'Spring Sails at Wushi Port' describes the bustling scene of ships coming and going, making it one of the Eight Views of Lanyang. After a period of decline due to siltation, the port was rebuilt in 2005. It now hosts whale-watching boats and numerous seafood restaurants. Since the opening of the Hsuehshan Tunnel, the Wushi Port North Jetty and Waiao Beach have become surfing hotspots, and with the opening of the Lanyang Museum, it has become a major tourist destination in Toucheng Township.
