Green Island, also known by other names, is a small volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean about 33 km off the eastern coast of Taiwan. It is 15.092 km² at high tide and 17.329 km² at low tide, making it the seventh-largest island in Taiwan Area.
The island is administered as Lyudao Township, a rural township of Taitung County in the streamlined Taiwan Province and one of the county’s two offshore areas (the other being Orchid Island). The island once served as a penal colony for political prisoners during Taiwan’s period of martial law, although today it is primarily known as a tourist hotspot.
