The majority of tourists, particularly those who visit during the peak summer months of July and August, reach Qimei by boat. Typically they arrive on pleasure craft that sail from Magong around 9 o’clock in the morning, stopping first at Wangan Island.These ferry excursions are such a finely developed tourist institution that it is usually possible to buy tickets that include the use of a Vespa-type scooter on both Wangan and Qimei, or if you would rather not trouble yourself with matters of parking and navigation, you can purchase tickets that include bus tours around both islands.
