The Yanpu Ferry Terminal marks the debut of an entirely new route to Liuqiu, which is an outlying island situated to the southwest of the main island of Taiwan. We aim to elevate the journey from the mainland to Liuqiu, making it more captivating and thematically engaging.



Liuqiu is an island brimming with maritime elements, offering an optimal exploration of marine culture and ecology. Its coral reef landscapes, marine seagrass, schools of fish, and sea turtles constitute the distinctive marine ecology of Liuqiu, reminiscent of the mesmerizing beauty depicted in the movie 'Avatar.' Diving into the underwater realm unveils Liuqiu's marine world, akin to embarking on an interstellar journey to another extraterrestrial planet. A visit to Liuqiu transcends domestic tourism; it feels more like an intergalactic odyssey into outer space."



We are transforming the foyer space of the Yanpu Ferry Terminal into a Space Terminal Centre. Within this hub, we are establishing a thematic exhibition area dedicated to Liuqiu, utilizing LED screen technology to create a technological ambiance while showcasing Liuqiu's marine ecology, culture, and history. This initiative aims to provide visitors with insights into the upcoming journey to the marine planet 'Liuqiu'. Our vision is to create a futuristic transportation hub that seamlessly blends technology with ecological and cultural considerations, offering a sensory fusion of maritime culture and technology.



Embarking on a journey to Liuqiu evokes the sensation of navigating towards an uncharted planet, characterized by its unique marine ecosystem and a lifestyle deeply intertwined with maritime resources and culture. It offers an opportunity to explore the distinctive landscapes, culinary delights, and rich maritime culture of Liuqiu.

Just go into the terminal and get a ticket, off we go to explore the wonders of Liuqiu!
