Hsiao Liouciou

We finally had two days off in a row, so we headed out to a little island off the coast - Hsiao Liouciou

We bought a second-hand tent which managed to keep the rain off. Mostly.

Fishing off the harbour, over looking the mountains of Taiwan.

Nice little beach nestled amongst the green. You can just see the factories on the mainland.

Love this road sign.

Mountains in the clouds.


It was a surprisingly easy weekend. An hour from our front door down highway 17 took us to Donggang port where we caught a ferry with our bikes. The ride took half an hour and could then scoot straight to the camp ground which was very nice.

Dining options on the island were pretty dismal but our limited language skills ensured we got fed. Next time we will bring the cooker.

It was also a very cheap weekend away, which is rare for Taiwan. Hotels are ludicrously expensive. The tent has already paid for itself.
