This thin island acts as a buffer to the harbour and extends down the city coastline. It's a popular day trip from the mainland, with its frenetic seafood street (Hǎichǎn Jiē), beach, lighthouse and biking routes being the main attractions.
You can rent bikes on Cijin or take your bike over on the ferry (NT$15, 10 minutes), which runs from 5am to 2am between the Gushan Ferry Terminal (鼓山碼頭, Gǔshān Mǎtóu) and the Cijin Ferry Terminal .
The beach on Cijin Island is just a five-minute walk from the Cijin Ferry Terminal. When going in the water, be aware that there are serious rip tides along the more-open parts of the beach.
