Green Island Travel Guide

Green Island, Taitung's volcanic Pacific islet, is famed for its rare submerged seawater hot springs and superb diving.

📍 Destination Overview

Green Island, off Taitung County in the Pacific, is a small volcanic islet, Taiwan's most popular east-coast offshore resort. It has Chao Ri Hot Spring, a rare seabed spring facing the ocean where bathers see the sunrise, and fine diving among reefs. A lighthouse and memorial park recall a difficult history, and cycling the ring road reveals dramatic coastal rocks.
