Kelsi from Canada made a Taiwanese friend in senior high school, and that was when her interest in Taiwanese idol dramas and pop music blossomed. She then embarked on her journey to learn Chinese from drama, TV series, and books by herself. In university, she applied for a scholarship to study the Chinese language in Taiwan and met her current husband Louis that summer. Now, she is an immigrant residing in Taiwan.
As a travel lover, Kelsi created a YouTube Channel - Kelsi May凱西莓, sharing tourist attractions and life in Taiwan. In this episode of the "New Immigrants in Taiwan" column, Kelsi explored the Guishan Island, Yilan, and also set off for dolphins on a boat.
The turtle-shaped Guishan Island is located off the coast of Yilan. It was originally used for military purposes. After the government promoted tourism in 2000, it opened a limited number of tourists to apply for entry to the island.
The yacht sailed into the port, and the crew donned white T-shirts, boardshorts, caps, and sunglasses which gave sunny vibes. Luckily, Kelsi found a suitable spot to admire the beautiful scenery on the boat. Seeing the island located in the blue ocean was getting closer, she said, “We can see the ocean, Yay!”

After about half an hour, Kelsi and her husband walked through a steel bridge and arrived at the Guishan Island. They were first greeted by the only temple on the island. Since most of the early island residents made a living by fishing, they began to worship Mazu, the guardian deity of the ocean, in the late 1940s, and it has been set up for more than 80 years.

The two then strolled along the tranquil “Guiwei Lake” and then visited tourist attractions such as the old barracks, forts, military tunnels, and buildings with mottled walls, which are of great historical and cultural significance.

The highlight of the whole trip was “Whale Watching”. Not far from Guishan Island, everyone began to focus and curiously check the traces of marine life on the boat. Hearing that the captain said that he saw the dolphins but sank again, Kelsi said disappointedly, “Are they gone, no?” However, everyone did not give up, and just continued to crane their necks and stare at the ocean.

Not long after, the captain said excitedly again, “I see them, there are hundreds of dolphins!” Everyone on the ship was unable to take their eyes off the beautiful animals.
Seeing more than 200 Stenella longirostris showing their triangular dorsal fins, and the beautiful scenes of groups of dolphins jumping out of the water and sinking back again, Kelsi immersed herself in the marine world. “We are so lucky to see so many dolphins!”
