Taiwan-kaohsiung高雄 & Lamay Island 小琉球


Here I am in Taiwan!




Youth Travel in Taiwan encourage youth from around the world to explore Taiwan, thus before your arrival you should check out their website and apply youth travel card and digital tour buddy phone which allowed you to borrow handphone from them and return before your departure.

We decided to travel south to kaohsiung and Lamay Island so we take a high speed train from taoyuan(Taipei) to Zuoying (kaohsiung). If you are not in rush you can take bus which might take about 4hours to arrived but with highspeed train it take only an hour and of because you need to pay more.

High speed train from Taipei - Zouying (kaohsiung) NT$ 1130

Citytravelinn in kaohsiung about 15-20mins walk to the nearest MRT station

Clean and comfortable

The next day, we wake up early to catch a cab to Tungkang (東港) then from Tungkang take a ferry to Lamay Island (小琉球)
台鐵
(台北-高雄) → 客運(高雄-東港) → (東港-小琉球)




We still got few hours before depart to Lamay Island , we walk around and went to the fish market. Donggang is famous for its fresh and abundant seafoods include bluefin tuna (黑鮪魚) sashimi cuisine, desalinated mullet roe (烏魚子karasumi in Japan) and cherry shrimp (櫻花蝦, sakura ebi).
