Green Island (or Lu Tao in Chinese) is located 33 kilometers off the coast of Taitung; it is shaped like a square, with a rather long coastline on all sides. The four faces of the island are buffeted equally by the winds in the four seasons, giving Green Islanders the belief that "Heaven is fair-minded" --because fortune, like the wind and waves, eventually comes your way.
位於台東外海卅三公里處的綠島，外形方正，四邊海岸線長度相當；一年四季，四面受風平均，使綠島人一向相信「老天爺很公平」﹘﹘因為「風水輪流轉」。
