Toukin Island Introduction
The name of Headscarf Islet first appeared in Du Zhen's "Chronicles of Penghu Taiwan," located about 1.9 kilometers northwest of Pingbei in Xiyu. The surrounding area is 364 meters, with an area of 0.46 hectares, and there are approximately ten small reefs nearby, with an area of 3.86 hectares during low tide. Among these, there are six larger reefs. Viewed from the sea to the north, the entire island resembles an ancient headscarf, hence the name. Gao Gongqian's "Taiwan Province Gazetteer" refers to it as: "The shape of Headscarf Islet is like a corner scarf." The terrain of Headscarf Islet is relatively steep, with its highest point reaching 49 meters. There are many surrounding reefs, with one to the north named "Headscarf Junior," which is about 6.1 meters high; to the south, there is a reef named "Bird Junior," which is about 2.8 meters high; to the east and west, there are many small connected reefs that have become habitats for various migratory seabirds, such as the Black-faced Spoonbill and the White-browed Crake, with a plentiful harvest of nori in winter.
