Green Island is bigger than the other 2 islands, but very similar in terms of scenery. Not as developed as Xiaoluiqui, but more than Orchid Island. One interesting fact is that Green Island had a prison back in the day. It kind of reminded me of a tropical, larger, more beautiful version of Alcatraz.​ 


這個島比上面兩個島都大,風景很相似。沒有像小琉球那樣開發,但比蘭嶼多一點。有個有趣的事實,綠島以前是監獄。讓我想到讓我想到熱帶,更大,更美麗版本的舊金山惡魔島。

This was a great place to take photos. You can get down to the beach. I saw people on several occasions, but I couldn’t find the path and others didn’t know or care to share.​ 


睡美人岩: 這裡是拍照很適合的地方,你可以走下海灘。我看到有人,但我找不到路徑可以下去。其他人不知道或是不想要分享。

This was also a very cool place to explore. Lots of cool rocks and a cave to have a picnic in. You should go here for sure!​ 


柚子湖: 這裡也是一個很酷的地方可以探險。很多很酷的石頭跟洞穴,可以在裡面野餐。你當然依定要去
