Green Island
Green Island is a small volcanic island off Taitung. Its seascape and history as a place of imprisonment call for a more thoughtful visit.
Why go
The island lies in the Pacific east of Taiwan and has been known by several names. Its former prisons and penal colonies are a defining part of its modern history. Come for an offshore landscape, but leave time to understand that difficult human story rather than treating Green Island only as a scenic escape.
