Second, the Green Island Human Rights Memorial Park, a 15-minute drive from Zhongliao, is a moving historic site that commemorates Taiwan’s political history, with preserved prison buildings and walking trails through coastal scrubland. Third, Shilang Bay, a 7-minute ride away, boasts powdery white sand and calm turquoise waters that are ideal for beginner snorkeling, with abundant tropical fish just offshore.

Travel Tips

Green Island is accessible by ferry from Taitung City’s Fugang Fishery Harbor, and the homestay can arrange a pickup from Green Island’s Nanliao Port for your arrival. Book your ferry tickets at least two weeks in advance during peak summer season (June to August) and long weekends, as sell-outs are common. Since the entire villa is all on the ground floor, it’s fully accessible for travelers with limited mobility and families with strollers. Pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to join the homestay’s organized water activities, and bring a light jacket for cool evenings during the winter months. For groups that love to cook, stock up on fresh local seafood and tropical fruit at the Zhongliao morning market 5 minutes’ walk from the villa to use in the full kitchen.
