Place guide

How should this Green Island profile be read?

Green Island is a compact volcanic island off Taiwan’s southeast coast. The physical island area is paired with year-end registered population for Green Island Township.

A nearly aligned island and township

The township and physical island are nearly coextensive, giving a practical local population numerator for the island area.

The record still labels population as an administrative count so the definition remains explicit.

Use it as a small-island reference

Green Island gives Taiwanese readers a familiar scale below Penghu County and far below Koh Samui.

Travel time and crowding still require roads, terrain, sailings and visitor data beyond area and residents.
