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

💍 Engagement Anniversary: A Sweet Trip for Three on Baibin Mountain This year, we chose the most nature-inspired and heartwarming way to celebrate our engagement anniversary – a three-person hike up Baibin Mountain in Pingtung! Starting from the back of Majia Mountain, the entire hike was about $6.5$ kilometers and took about $4 hours, a sweet challenge with just the right time and distance for us. The morning air was fresh with the scent of grass and trees. Our daughter walked in the middle, sometimes holding her father's hand, sometimes chasing after her mother's figure, her laughter on the mountain path becoming the most beautiful background music. The forests of Baibin Mountain are beautiful, and although it was the back mountain path, it was full of fun and exploration. When we arrived at the famous Baibin Tree, its massive trunk and sprawling roots were different from what we had imagined, making us burst into laughter. It turned out to be the legendary Baibin Tree, the one that makes you look like three lines. The whole family took a commemorative photo around the famous tree. This was not just a record of our hike, but also another solid and powerful milestone in our married life. What was most touching was that, during a brief respite, we recalled the sweet moments of our engagement. Standing hand-in-hand on a high vantage point overlooking the vast Pingtung Plain, we deeply understood that marriage is like climbing a mountain: though there are arduous uphill climbs, as long as we support each other and share the same goal, we can share the breathtaking scenery at the summit, making every step count. On the way down, we encountered little surprises. Unexpectedly, a group of monkeys—about twenty in total—swung from the treetops to another hilltop. There were large monkeys, small monkeys, and mother monkeys carrying their babies. It was both amusing and a little scary—the monkeys might steal our backpacks. We cautiously made our way down. After successfully reaching the bottom, as is customary, we rewarded ourselves for the hike by heading straight to the Linali Shoe-Taking Tribe, a place brimming with indigenous charm. Sitting on stone seats, we savored warm, fragrant millet donuts and chilled lemon millet jelly. This simple dessert perfectly concluded this journey filled with sweat and love.
