Taitung Lanyu | A Three-Day, Two-Night Island Getaway

The first time you visit Lanyu, you'll fall in love with this small island, whether it's the mountains, the sea, or the rocky landscapes and grasslands along the way. As soon as you step ashore, you're greeted by a stunning blend of azure seas and lush green mountains. The salty sea breeze fills the air, and you instantly feel relaxed. We rented scooters to explore the island, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking. Iconic spots like Twin Lion Rock, Dragon Head Rock, and the Grassland Plateau were all incredibly majestic. Especially at the Grassland Plateau, where the sea breeze and the seamless connection of the blue sky and ocean were so soothing. Ocean activities are a must-try here. We went scuba diving 🤿, and the water was crystal clear. Coral reefs and tropical fish swam right beside us, and I even saw a sea snake, which got me super excited! It felt like stepping into an underwater paradise 🐠. We tried flying fish dishes, including pan-fried, charcoal-grilled, and fried rice versions, all bursting with flavor. We also had the famous taro ice cream, which was so refreshing to enjoy by the coast. In the evening, we visited Dongqing Village, where a small market and lively crowds created a vibrant atmosphere. The sunset reflecting on the ocean along the way was absolutely stunning 🌅. At dawn, we took a peaceful stroll along the beach in Langdao Village. The sunlight glimmered on the traditional canoes, creating a serene and healing moment. During these three days on the island, there was no noise, just the sea breeze, sunshine, and a lingering desire to stay. I highly recommend visiting an offshore island during the Dragon Boat Festival to unwind and heal your soul! Before leaving, I bought some postcards, hoping to always remember the clarity and beauty of this place 🌊🌊🌅.
