In recent years, with the restoration of the footpath around the island and the successful breeding of the Formosan sika deer(Cervus nippon taiouanus) has turned the island a deer-watching paradise; if you arrive on Daqiu early in the morning, there's a good chance you'll see the beautiful sika deer.{...}The county government operates a regular ferry service to Daqiu during the summer, but a boat must be chartered to reach Daqiu during the rest of the year.
