【Drone 4K】Taiwan - 台灣 - Orchid Island (Lanyu) - 蘭嶼 - Akokey

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Just east of the southern coast of Taiwan lies Orchid Island. The island covers about 45 square lm (around 17 square mi.). What makes Orchid Island most unusual is its native inhabitants, the Tao, who came to the island from the Philippines across the Luzon Strait in the 13th century. The small island is almost entirely mountainous, with peaks as high as 400 meters (1.3k ft). Contributor Jakublin used a drone to create a stunning aerial video of this small but spectacular rock of an island.
