Green Island Undersea Postbox (Green Island Underwater World) Introduction
Green Island, suspended over the Pacific Ocean, is home to the warm Kuroshio Current and diverse underwater topography, making it a world-renowned diving paradise. With an oxygen tank on your back and a special postcard in hand, you can dive into the crystal blue waters of the Pacific and head towards the charming underwater mailbox, where you can drop in postcards filled with blessings to be sent to your heart's desire. The Taitung County Government, in collaboration with Chunghwa Post, has set up the world’s deepest underwater mailbox on the sandy floor at a depth of 11 meters, 60 meters off the coast of the Shilang snorkeling area in Green Island. The mailbox is modeled after the rare species known as the "Kremlin's Little Seahorse," affectionately referred to as the "Green Island Marine Elf," which is very popular among divers worldwide. Nearby, the Ocean Heart artificial reef has been installed, becoming one of the most sought-after and unique photo spots on Green Island. The underwater mailbox postcards are crafted collaboratively by the teachers and students of Green Island School to express their love and concern for the ocean. These unique postcards can be purchased at hotels, guesthouses, and diving centers, but they are not sold at the post office! The proceeds from the sales will be returned to the school for educational funding, helping to cultivate students' competencies and also promoting awareness of marine environmental protection. Green Island boasts numerous well-known diving spots, such as the Chaikou Snorkeling Area, the Dabaisha Snorkeling Area, the Shilang Snorkeling Area, the Blue Hole, and the Horseshoe Bridge. Dive into the underwater world of Green Island to admire precious soft and hard corals, swimming turtles and sea snakes, as well as vibrant tropical fish. Purchase the specially designed waterproof postcards for the underwater mailbox, write about the beauty of Green Island with a permanent marker, and dive into the sea, sharing the joy of travel in a unique way while surrounded by a variety of marine life, allowing the world to see the beauty of Green Island.
