FAQ
The primary way to explore Xiaoliuqiu is by renting a scooter, which offers flexibility to visit various attractions like Vase Rock and Beauty Cave. Alternatively, electric bikes are available for rent. Some visitors also opt for golf carts for short distances, while local taxis and tour vans can be arranged for convenience, especially for larger groups or those preferring not to drive.
Scooter rentals are widely available near the ferry terminal and around Xiaoliuqiu. To rent a scooter, you typically need a valid Taiwanese scooter license or an international driving permit. Some shops might offer electric scooters which do not always require a license, but it's best to confirm requirements directly with the rental shop. Always inquire about helmet provision.
From Taipei, the most efficient way is to take a High-Speed Rail (HSR) train to Zuoying Station in Kaohsiung. From Zuoying, you can take a shuttle bus or taxi directly to Donggang Ferry Terminal. At Donggang, board a ferry to Xiaoliuqiu. The entire journey typically takes around 3-4 hours, including transfers and the approximately 20-30 minute ferry ride.
From HSR Zuoying Station, you have several options to reach Donggang Ferry Terminal, which is the gateway to Xiaoliuqiu. You can take a shuttle bus (e.g., Kuo-Kuang bus) directly from the station, a taxi, or ride-sharing services. The bus ride to Donggang takes about 40-60 minutes. From Donggang, ferries regularly depart for Xiaoliuqiu, offering a swift passage.
Xiaoliuqiu is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity, especially green sea turtles, which are frequently spotted during snorkeling and SUP activities. You can also expect to see a vibrant array of tropical fish, various species of colorful corals, and sometimes other marine creatures like clownfish. The clear waters offer excellent visibility for observing this underwater world.
For SUP and snorkeling in Xiaoliuqiu, it's essential to bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life, a hat, sunglasses, and a towel. Reusable water bottles are recommended to stay hydrated. If you have your own snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, fins), you may bring it, although rental equipment is usually provided with tours. A waterproof bag for valuables is also useful.
The ideal season for water activities in Xiaoliuqiu is generally from April to October. During these months, the weather is warmer, and the waters are calmer and clearer, providing excellent conditions for SUP, snorkeling, and observing marine life. Even during the off-peak season, the weather remains pleasant enough for some activities, but water conditions might vary.
Ferries to Xiaoliuqiu depart from Donggang Ferry Terminal. There are usually two types of ferries: public and private, with private ones typically being faster.
