It only cost TWD15 per person per trip from Taiwan mainland to Cijin.
The trip takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

| The black beach in Cijin Island
The beach in Cijin was slowly washed away by waves. So the government built the wave barrier near the beach, and according to the locals, it did help to preserved the beach.
During the Morocco Typhoon in 2009, this beach was flooded with so many woods and tree trunks from unknown source. The community gathered and removed the woods, so that the beach is available to public again.
