The official name of the island is Xiyin Islet(西引嶼), but the google map shows it as Xiyin Island(西引島). In Taiwan, “islet” and “island” are generally used according to the size of the island. This island is described as Xiyin Island in the official data.
An island not too far on foot from Dongyin Island
We Japanese are only allowed to drive up to 50cc even if we have a Chinese translation certificate made in Taiwan. A Japanese driver’s license does not allow us to drive a standard scooter in Taiwan (aren’t those Japanese driving against the law?). ).
Therefore, you have to get a backseat passenger, drive a car, or walk over a slope to get to the island.

Access to Xiyin Island (Xiyin Island) and basic information
・Xiyin Island
・Belonging to: Mazu Archipelago
・Formerly inhabited islands
・Day trip possible
・Ferry schedule (different on odd-numbered days and even-numbered days)

It depends on the ferry whether we can go ashore.
The day I tried to go there, the sea conditions were not good and almost all boats outside of this area were cancelled.
Therefore, I could not go to this island. It was just after the reopening of the Mazu Islands ferry, so the ferry was crowded, but I was lucky enough to get a berth without a reservation. Most of the islanders slept on chairs. I envied those who could sleep without a bed.
