Partida de Makung


Chegada 'a ilha de Tungpan - Lotus Terrace


Behind the sun-flowers


The dragons emerge


The past subsists


silent now


as it was at the begining

Tungpan Island is named because it looks like barrel plates. The island is composed of walls of basalt columns. These spectacular formations have given the island its nickname of "Lotus Terrace".

Tripping in Ilha dos Pescadores - Part IV - Chipei

"sandy beaches, refreshing breeze, blinding reflections from ocean waves and blue sky and ocean. Some people call this place The Pescadores."

"Chipei Island is the biggest island in the north of Penghu. Basalt terrace plains and an extended desert are both featured in the topography of this island. The Shawei bay in the southwest side of Chipei is famous for a golden sand beach extending several kilometers. You can easily spend a whole afternoon with the fun-filled activities in the summer"
