Formerly known as “Fire Island,” Green Island is an island of volcanic rock about 33 km offshore from Taitung City on Taiwan’s main island. Erosion and weathering have endowed Green Island with stunning natural features including sea cliffs, coral reefs, and white sandy beaches. It is also home to a rare undersea hot spring. The island’s combination of land and sea offerings, from grasslands and rare botanicals to coral reefs and its wondrous undersea landscape, have established it as an eastern Taiwan marine paradise.
Green Island development into an island destination for water sports and eco-tourism has been further aided through upgrades to tourism facilities and infrastructure. Infrastructure projects have included the Island Ring Road, airport, and fishing port, all of which have combined to make island more convenient and comfortable for visiting explorers.
