New Penghu Ferry

The fastest way of getting to the islands of the Penghu archipelago from the Taiwan mainland is flying from Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, or Kaohsiung (less than an hour flight time for each route). A slower way is taking a ferry, either from the town of Budai in Chiayi County or from Kaohsiung Port (about four hours one way). If you opt for the latter route, starting this August you will enjoy the trip on a brand-new vessel, the Penghu Ferry. The new ferry has replaced the Taihua Ferry, which served on the route for more than 30 years.

Qingshui Geothermal Education Center in Yilan

Located in Yilan County’s Datong Township on the left bank of the Qingshui River (a tributary of the Lanyang River), the Qingshui Geothermal Park is a popular day-trip destination in this part of Taiwan. After an experimental geothermal power plant was established there in 1977, local residents and then tourists started to visit the site and make use of nearby hot-water pools (up to 95 degrees Celsius) close to the river for cooking eggs and vegetables and soaking their feet. To make a visit to the site safer, the government created the Qingshui Geothermal Park in 2010, the facilities of which have been upgraded and expanded several times in recent years (including the addition of foot-soak pools, cooking pools, and a bathhouse). The latest addition is the Qingshui Geothermal Education Center (opened this January), which includes a geothermal exploration hall and a generator control room. The small center allows visitors to learn about geothermal power generation, including introductions to related machinery and local geology.
