 Surfbirds Birding Trip Report: Lanyu (Orchid) Island, Taiwan, May 12th—14th, 2005
I had long been interested in visiting Lanyu Island, 65 km east of the southern tip of Taiwan and about 110 km north of the Batan Islands of the Philippines.
Lanyu Island’s climate is tropical, with an average daytime temperature of 26 C (temperature can reach 40 C in summer), and abundant rainfall.
To summarize, a side trip to Lanyu Island is well worth the effort and cost, especially if done during spring or fall migration.

 to which country does yami island truly belong? - Asia Finest Discussion Forum
LANYU ISLAND, Taiwan — The ancient Yami tribe on tiny Lanyu (Orchid) Island still clings to its traditions, displaying prized silver helmets and meticulously carved boats, but the modern world's nuclear waste, alcohol and alien society are mutating tribal values and beliefs.
According to Yami stories, 1959 marked a peak in hostility between Lanyu Island and the Batan islands, though the reasons are no longer clear as to why the former trading partners became enemies.
In 1945, when Lanyu Island became part of Taiwan, it was officially designated as a township comprised of four villages, complete with a mayor and village headmen.

 TiT Scenery: Orchid Island: A People Lost in Time
First known to the West as Botel Tobago and given the name Hungtou (Redhead) Island by a Ching dynasty commissioner, the island was finally renamed Lanyu (Orchid Island) by the ROC government in 1946 because of the butterfly orchids that once grew there in profusion.
The road passes by all of the main sights: rocks shaped like lions, dragons, turtles, a tank, battleships; a group of shallow and not very interesting caves; a low-level radioactive waste storage facility on the southern coast that enthusiastically welcomes visitors.
Nevertheless, the Yamis are basically a very warm and hospitable people, and the trip is well worth the effort especially since the unique culture of Orchid Island seems to be on the brink of extinction.
