Thought you tried all the best food on Xiaoliuqiu? Think again. Locals are loving these new spots—here’s your updated island cheat sheet for where to eat next.

Great news for travelers visiting Liuqiu Island! The Liuqiu Post Office has officially launched a foreign exchange currency service, making it easier than ever for international visitors to exchange their money conveniently during their stay.

Xiaoliuqiu is famous for its breathtaking sea turtles, crystal-clear waters, and, more recently, its thriving coffee scene. As a devoted coffee lover (okay, maybe addict), I know the first thing on your mind when visiting a new place is: Where am I going to get my coffee? That’s exactly why I put this guide together.

When planning a beach getaway in Taiwan, Xiaoliuqiu stands out among the outlying islands and even rivals the popular beaches of Kenting. Why? Because it's protected from strong seasonal winds, making it an ideal destination for water activities or simply lounging on the sand any time of year. Outside the busy student summer holiday season (July-August) and long weekends, you'll often find Xiaoliuqiu’s beaches nearly empty—perfect for social distancing or just soaking up some serene island vibes.
