Wugui Cave
烏鬼洞
A coral-reef cave on the southwest coast of Xiaoliuqiu, with a legend that Black people (known locally as 'wugui') hid here during the Dutch period; the passage is narrow and must be crossed stooping.
Wugui Cave lies on Xiaoliuqiu's southwestern coast. It is a natural cave formed in coral reef rock. The entrance is narrow, and you must stoop or even turn sideways to pass through, with the exit facing the sea. According to legend, during the Dutch period in the 17th century, Black people (known locally as 'wugui') hid in the cave and were later burned to death. A memorial stone and tablets at the cave mouth add to its air of mystery. It is one of the island's three paid attractions, open about 08:00–17:00, and admission is by combined ticket. The cave is dim and slippery, so it is not suitable for those with claustrophobia. The nearby Sunset Pavilion offers good sunset views.
