If you're considering your next relaxing destination, you absolutely can't miss Xiaoliuqiu! This island, surrounded by sea turtles, boasts a tranquil beach and adorable turtle-themed snacks 😋, offering unparalleled relaxation. This trip focuses on Xiaoliuqiu's beaches, satisfying all your needs whether you want to get up close to the turtles, enjoy the natural scenery, or simply relax under a coconut tree! If you're tired of crowds and looking for a place to truly reset, Xiaoliuqiu's atmosphere is the perfect choice. Xiaoliuqiu Must-Visit Highlights: 🐢 Turtle Swimming Experience Xiaoliuqiu is the only place in Taiwan where you can snorkel and get up close to sea turtles! Swimming with these leisurely turtles underwater is like stepping into a real-life underwater animation. We recommend going in the morning when the weather is clear and visibility is high. Remember to bring sunscreen and respect the ecosystem by not touching the turtles. 🌿 Beaches in Harmony with Nature The beaches here are clean and quiet, less crowded and noisy than other beaches in Taiwan, making them perfect for a relaxing break! Coconut trees adorn the beach, creating shimmering golden silhouettes at sunset. Enjoy a drink and a limited-edition Xiaoliuqiu handmade snack – life should be this leisurely. 🤳 Island Specialty Snack: Turtle-Shaped Desserts A must-try in Xiaoliuqiu is the locally exclusive turtle-shaped snack! Soft, chewy, and sweet, the turtle shape is a perfect Instagram-worthy photo opportunity. Holding it in your hand and posing with the seascape and coconut trees in the background is a quintessential local specialty. The photos will definitely be amazing on social media! Cute and delicious, highly recommended! (Some shops sell them; check with your guesthouse or market.) 🌅 Super Healing Sunrise and Sunset Recommended spots: "Lobster Cave" on the east coast for sunrise and "Vase Rock" on the west coast for sunset. Both are within walking distance, and the light is perfect for photos in the morning and evening. Useful Tips: 1. It's recommended to bring your own reusable water bottle, beach mat, and sunscreen. There are simple public toilets near the beach, and some guesthouses offer free showers. 2. For turtle snorkeling, book directly with a local instructor – it's safe and convenient, and some operators offer insurance. 3. For beach snacks, it's recommended to go to the early morning market (9-11 am) to grab some, as they're sold out quickly! 🚗Transportation: A direct 30-minute ferry ride from Donggang, Pingtung. It's advisable to book ferry tickets and guesthouses in advance on Trip.com to avoid last-minute bookings. Electric scooters are available for rent, making getting around the island super convenient. 🍴Food Recommendations: - Turtle-shaped snacks (market exclusive) - Coconut smoothies (stalls near the beach) - Local seafood porridge (near Lobster Cave, morning only) 🏝️ Tips: If you just want a quiet and relaxing experience, Xiaoliuqiu is the place to go! The beaches are clean, there aren't many tourists, and there's often a cool breeze around the coconut trees. After 5 pm, you can stroll along the coast and watch the sunset – a truly therapeutic experience that lets your worries disappear. #Xiaoliuqiu #SeaTurtleSwimming #IslandSlowLife #LocalFood #IslandSunset
