Dongyuping and Xiyuping (East and West Islands) are a pair of Islands in southern Penghu and are part of the Penghu Southern Four Islands National Park. (中文版:東嶼坪嶼The coral reefs here are protected from fishing, and as a result the marine life is much more healthy here. Snorkelers and divers here are rewarded with much more spectacular views underwater than in many other parts of Taiwan. There are simply more fish here.
The coral reef extends all the way between the two islands, but the reefs further from the shore tend to be doing better.
There is a small store and a bed and breakfast on the island. But because there are no public ferries to these islands, the only way to reach here is by private ferry or chartered boat.
