green island
About 33 kilometers away from Taitung, it is a secluded island in the Pacific Ocean. It is an outlying island township of Taitung County along with Lanyu.The green island is formed by the eruption of a submarine volcano. The island is rectangular, with a length and width of about five kilometers. The whole island has vertical and horizontal hills, and the highest burning mountain is 281 meters above sea level. There are uplifted coral reefs and coastal deposits on the surrounding coast of the island. These terrains have been eroded by the two forces of weathering and ocean tides over the years, giving rise to an illusory and ever-changing coastal landscape.

The first time I came to Green Island, the sea breeze did not feel sticky. There was no chaotic traffic on the island. There were no large and small vehicles. There was only a motorcycle passing by. The first time you rode a motorcycle, you don’t need to wear two layers of masks. The air is so good, let alone looking at the blue sea and blue sky along the road, I feel relaxed.
On the same day, take the train to Taitung at around 7 o'clock, and then transfer to a taxi to go to the pier to take a boat. Due to holidays, there are many tourists and even foreign tourists. Tickets are booked by the agency travel agency.
When we arrived on the island, the travel agency leader took everyone to pick up the cars. They were all 125 motorcycles, but... the passengers had to refuel by themselves =.=, so the following special scenes appeared. A large number of tourists crowded in a small gas station. , Or the "only" gas station on Green Island!
When you come to Green Island, you will inevitably have to visit the "Green Island Prison". The inmates here are at most "homicide", "bandits punishment regulations", and "robber crimes". It also means that it is not killing people who are not blinking, but gangsters. However, after 1970, most of the prisoners here were political prisoners, and they were not changed to general prisoners until the sanctions were lifted.
And "Green Island Serenade" has long been thought by many people that it was written by the underworld brother inside, but it is not. After searching online, they found out:
"Green Island Serenade" was co-created by Zhou Lanping and Pan Yingjie; it was a midsummer night in 1954. Zhou and Pan, who worked together in the Zhongguang Music Group and lived in the single dormitory on Renai Road, Zhongguang, chatted. When talking about the topic of creating popular songs, Pan Yingjie, who loves literature, suggested to create a popular song with the "lyrical and graceful win" serenade, which was harmonized by Zhou Lanping.On the second day, Pan Yingjie integrated the impression of having been in Taiwan for several years into the lyrics and gave it to Zhou Lanping. Zhou Lanping, who is currently in love, was very satisfied with it. She felt deeply in my opinion. Under the hope of love as sweet as honey, immediately Compose "Green Island Serenade".This is a song with the "green" Taiwan landscape as the background, describing the ups and downs of men and women in love, and it was recorded by crape myrtle in the Zhongguang Studio.
For the work of the tortured, it is difficult for the eldest brother to catch up with Hello Kitty.
In the afternoon, we went to eat ice together. The most famous one is "Brown Sugar Seagrass Ice", and it is decorated with shells. I have a bite... ㄜ, it tastes of seaweed, but Wendy eats it with great relish, and I ate it on the island for three days. Two or three times of seagrass ice, I am a pawn... and the stomach is not very good, so I will choose the safest diet when traveling to avoid diarrhea when traveling, so I can only eat mung bean and barley ice. Excessive dry addiction~
This sika deer is called Romeo and it is raised by a store. It has very long eyelashes. It is inevitable that there is a question in my heart: "Isn't the sika deer a conservation animal?"Why can it be raised like this? ".The boss is feeding sheep?deer?I forgot ＠＠ But he has a fierce temper. After this photo was taken, a puppy passed by his feet. He immediately attacked the puppy with the horns of his head, which shocked me!
The proprietress said that he thought the puppy was going to grab food from him, and he was aggressive, so he used plastic sleeves on the corners to avoid accidentally hurting tourists; but originally his personality was very gentle, as if he was bullied by tourists who had visited. He, hit him, will become like this,
The next day we went up and went out early in the morning and rode around on a motorcycle. The air on the island was very good, and there were not many tourists (the students were all going back to school in September at the time), so we were able to spend so leisurely. After these few days.I can only say that the initial D is too red. After Wendy finished talking about the hairpin, this Xiao Nianlang also said "cow! Hairpin!" ".After going down the hairpin bend, you came to Grapefruit Lake. There are a few small houses in it. There are no people living in it. However, it is still conceivable that there are hills around here, with clear water in front, and you can admire the stars at night. Nature is close.
The sea is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the seaweed floating just by lowering your head.
In the afternoon, I heard other tourists at the homestay saying that they could pick star sand from the lighthouse and come here to take a look.andThe lighthouse is located on the northwestern headland. It is a pure white straight cylindrical building with a height of three to three meters. It faces the blue sea against the blue sky. The scenery is excellent and it is an important indicator of fishing boats and airplanes.
The Green Island Lighthouse was built in December XNUMX when the US cruise ship "President Hoover" struck a rock near Green Island and sank. In order to commemorate the cruise ship’s crash and maintain maritime safety, the US government donated money to build it on the island the following year. Lighthouse, so it is a historic building.
I found the eyes almost lost, and the corners of Xingsha were worn out, so I just bought a souvenir and came back to install it by myself＠＠
<Experience after Travel>
Green Island is really suitable for a three-day and two-night trip, whether it is marine activities such as snorkeling, night fishing with small pipes, or cycling to high places to see the stars at night.Of course, for those who pay attention to housing, the homestays on the island are relatively simple and clean and comfortable. They are incomparable with the characteristic homestays in Hualien and Cingjing, but I still recommend it to everyone to visit and experience the charm of outlying island tourism. !
