Do You Have Orchid Island Sickness? - Computer-Drawn, Block-Print Style Postcard

The plank canoe is the most important traditional mode of transportation for the Tao people. It is an indispensable element for navigating the sea and catching flying fish. Carved "eyes" at the front and back of the canoe symbolize the bestowal of a soul upon the vessel, guiding the family fleet across the ocean without losing direction and ensuring a safe return. Flying fish and goats hold significant importance in the daily life of Orchid Island. Flocks of goats are a common sight along the island's coastal highway. Goats symbolize family wealth, with herds managed by the elders of the respective families. They are still raised through free-ranging methods today. These goats, often occupying the roads, have become the ubiquitous "traffic lights" of the island. To discover more about Orchid Island's culture, we invite you to visit and experience it firsthand!
