Xiaoliuqiu Exploration: Semi-Submarine Glass-Bottom Boat Tour | Instant Confirmation
The boat was very clean, the ride was smooth, and they even told us where we could see sea turtles. I'd definitely choose to explore Latin America again next time.

The half-day tour of Lieyu culture, including the Jiugong Tunnel and Shaxi Fort, is well worth seeing. The itinerary was well-planned, and the overall experience was excellent. The guided tour was also very detailed, and I learned a lot. Highly recommended.
