4 p.m. - Cijin island is a five-minute ferry ride from the navy base. There is a long beach -- far from Taiwan’s finest -- but the beautiful fort on the headland is the real reason to come here. The main town is full of seafood restaurants, should you wish to stay for dinner. Expect high quality, tasty food and very reasonable prices.
