Daqiu Island

Hiking Area

4.7 (572) Wildlife Viewing

Daqiu Island is a remote destination in Taiwan's Matsu Islands known for its large population of wild deer that outnumber the local residents. Visitors can enjoy scenic walking trails with stunning coastal views while interacting with friendly deer that approach for food.

Daqiu Island is frequently compared to Japan's Nara for its deer, but viewer sentiment is tempered by concerns over aggressive animal behavior and health risks like Lyme disease. Additionally, discussions often involve geographic and political debates, reflecting a complex mix of attraction and caution among visitors.

  • Walk the scenic coastal trails for stunning ocean views.
  • Exercise caution when feeding deer to avoid aggressive behavior.
  • Wear long clothing and repellent to protect against Lyme disease-carrying ticks.
  • Prepare for a remote experience with very few local residents.
  • Expect a more rugged and wild atmosphere than Japan's Nara Park.
