Hujing Islet
虎井嶼
A small island south of Tongpan Islet, with the legend of the sunken city of Hujing and columnar basalt. Often visited on the same boat trip as Tongpan Islet.
Hujing Islet lies south of Tongpan Islet. It is made up of two small hills, east and west, joined by a sandbar in the middle. The island has large cliffs of columnar basalt, and from the top of the eastern hill you can look over the whole island and toward Magong. Legend says the waters off the west side hold the ruins of the “Sunken City of Hujing,” which attracts many divers. The island keeps military facilities from the Japanese occupation period and the scenery of its fishing village. You can join a South Sea island-hopping tour or take a ferry from Magong, a trip of about 20 to 30 minutes. Ferries often stop in autumn and winter, when the waves are high.
