Visiting Turtle Island was a somewhat significant trip for me, the island had loomed large in my 2020 adventures with the Tamsui-Kavalan Trails – its instantly recognisable profile appearing to taunt/encourage me at various points along the trail. Likewise it was an interesting trip for Teresa, whose maternal great aunt (or similarly distant relative) was among those who left the island in the 1970s. I’m not sure if the others visiting that day had their own connections drawing them to the island or not, but regardless, it’s a significant landmark for anyone who has visited Yilan.
