Dongji Island
東吉嶼
The core island of the Penghu South Four Islands Park, with abandoned old settlements, a lighthouse, and basalt coasts. Ideal for a deeper island-hopping trip.
Dongji Island belongs to the Penghu South Four Islands Park. It has well-preserved Hokkien-style settlements (most now uninhabited), the Dongji Island Lighthouse from the Japanese occupation period, and platform-like basalt and wave-cut landforms. The water is clear, making it a great place for snorkeling and photography. Visitors usually join a South Four Islands island-hopping tour departing from Magong or Wang-an, with a boat trip of about an hour. Facilities on the island are limited, so bring your own drinking water and sun protection. Boats often stop during the northeast monsoon in autumn and winter.
