Cross the long bridge to reach Yangma Island. Arriving in the early afternoon helps you avoid the midday heat and potential crowds. Note that during the hot season (June to August), the bridge may close to cars between 08:00 and 16:00, so check the route if traveling in summer.
13:30
Head straight to the beach area for some beachcombing. The island is known for its shells and coastal debris, making it a perfect spot for a quiet walk along the water's edge.
14:15
Take a break at one of the theme coffee shops scattered around the island. These spots offer a place to rest and enjoy a drink while looking out at the sea cliffs.
15:00
Explore the remains of the defunct resort hotels and the nearby fishing village. This area offers a unique glimpse into the island's history and local life.
15:30
Finish your visit by visiting the horse parks. See the horses in their natural setting before heading back across the bridge.
Local tip
The island is free to enter and open 24/7, but the bridge access can be restricted in summer. Plan your visit outside the 08:00-16:00 window if you are driving in June, July, or August.
