'Hsiao Liuchiu' (; English formerly 'Lambay Island') is an island which belongs to Taiwan. It has an area of 6.8 km2 and a population of 13000 inhabitants. It lies 8 nautical miles west of Tungkang and it is Taiwan's only coral island.
There are no rivers on the island, and farming is very difficult. Most residents make their living by fishing, and in recent years the island has become noted for cage aquaculture. Efforts for planned development received a boost after the island was included in the Tapeng Bay National Scenic Area in 2004. Some of the best known local sights include Black Ghost Cave, Beautiful Maiden Cave, Houshih Rock Formations, and Venice Beach.
