One of my favorite travel experiences in Taiwan was my trip to the tiny but beautiful Green Island, which is located off the southeast coast. To get to Green Island, my friend and I took a 50-minute boat ride from Taitung. While the boat ride was a bit rough, it was worth it when we saw the beautiful scene that was waiting for us on the other side.

我在台灣最喜歡的其中一個旅遊體驗是到小而美的綠島旅行，綠島就位在東南外海。為了到綠島，我和朋友從台東搭了五十分鐘的船。雖然船程有些顛簸，但當我們看到另一頭等著我們的美麗景色時一切都值得了。

When we arrived, we headed to Nanliao village, where we cooled off with some shaved ice that was topped with a Green Island specialty: seaweed! The shaved ice shop we chose had a jail-themed design that was inspired by Green Island’s dark past. The island was once the place where political prisoners were sent.

我們抵達時就前往南寮村，在那裡我們吃了上面放著綠島特產：海草的刨冰來涼快一下！我們選的這間刨冰店是以監獄作為設計主題，其靈感來自綠島黑暗的過去。這個島曾是政治犯被送往的地方。

Later that evening, we joined a wildlife tour offered by the bed-and-breakfast we stayed at. We hopped on our scooter and followed our tour guide around the island as he showed us animals and plants that call Green Island home. We spotted Formosan sika deer, goats, and even a rare type of stick insect.

那天傍晚稍晚，我們參加了由投宿的民宿所提供的野生動物之旅。我們跳上摩托車跟著我們的導遊在島上四處逛，而他則一邊介紹棲息在綠島的動植物。我們看見了台灣梅花鹿、山羊，甚至一種罕見的竹節蟲。
