Niaoyu

Niaoyu (Traditional Chinese: 鳥嶼[1]) is an island in the Penghu Archipelago,[2]located off the eastern coast of Baisha Island[3] and northeast of Yuanbei Island.[4] Administratively, it belongs to Baisha Township[5] in Penghu County,[6] Taiwan.

Overview

Niaoyu covers an area of approximately 26.5 hectares[7] and has a coastline of about 2.5 kilometers.[8] The island's terrain is lower in the north and higher in the center,[9] composed of basalt.[10] The terrain is lofty and impressive. Facing the northeast, the island has long been subjected to the northeast monsoon[11] and strong sea waves,[9] resulting in intense wind and sea erosion. This has created a well-developed and rich coastal landscape. The eastern coast features columnar basalt formations that extend to the northern coast, forming towering and majestic sea cliffs. At the top, a lighthouse[12] guides ships navigating the northern waters,[13] marking the highest elevation in the northern sea area of Penghu.[14]
