The secret place of Tongpan Island: the lotus seat that appears only after the tide goes out

#Taiwan Local Tour Tongpan Island is an outlying island of Penghu, not far from Magong City. You can reach it by boat or by joining a tour operator, which takes about ten minutes. Most people cruise by and see the columnar basalt that circles the island from a distance. It is recommended to visit the island when you have time, as you can see the cool lotus seat at low tide. They say it got its name from the fact that it looks like the lotus seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The tour I participated in was taught by a National Taiwan University Earth Science professor who taught geological knowledge. He said that some people said that the Lotus Seat was formed by a volcanic crater, but the teacher disagreed and felt that it was just a simple sea erosion platform. But no matter what, you can definitely see many beautiful small fish in the small pond here, and it is a place where you can see corals and intertidal zone ecology without snorkeling. It's just that the reefs are slippery when the tide goes out, so be careful. Once when I went there by myself, I walked around the island and picked up a lot of shells to admire. While waiting for the shuttle, I drew some shells and corals. ⚠️The corals in Penghu cannot be taken away, otherwise it is illegal, so please be careful. #familytravel #localtravel #goodplaceforfamily
