Why It Matters
Affected by the strong typhoon Qiangpi and its peripheral circulation, winds and swells along the northeastern coast of Taiwan have increased significantly.
Affected by the approaching strong typhoon "Qiangpi" and its peripheral circulation, the Central Meteorological Administration is expected to issue a maritime typhoon warning as early as tonight and land warnings tomorrow (22nd). As the typhoon wind circle gradually expands, the wind and swells along the northeastern coast of Taiwan have increased significantly, and Guishan Island in Yilan will be closed for three days as a warning.
The Northeastern Corner of the Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transport and the Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Management Office stated that the waters around Guishan Island are affected by strong gusts and long waves. Considering the increased difficulty of berthing ships at the temporary dock on the outlying island and the safety of tourists landing on the island, they have decided to implement an early warning island closure for 3 days from October 22 to 24. During this period, tourist trips to the island will be completely suspended to prevent accidents.
The wind duct office in the northeast corner reminds that during the typhoon, the sea is violent and the sea is extremely variable. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to tourists who have made reservations to land on the island. We also strongly appeal to the public not to risk going to the coast to engage in wave watching, fishing or water activities during the typhoon. Please pay attention to the latest weather information at all times and be prepared for typhoons to ensure your own safety.
