    Can I move around by foot?

    Xiaoliuqiu may be an idyllic island getaway, but it's not a place you want to explore solely on foot. With its hilly terrain and blazing summer heatwaves, renting a vehicle is the best way to make sure your water adventures such as scuba diving or snorkeling go off without any hitches – With 99.9% of shops unable to provide transportation from shop-to-shore or back again, we advise tourists either rent a vehicle ahead of time or be ready hail a "taxi" every time they want leave their hotel room!
