   • 1979 July, Kubler, Cornelius C., “Life in the Pescadores”, in The Asia Mail‎^[1], page 12, column 4:

     My next trip, by private fishing boat, was to the island of Qimei, some 25 miles from Magong harbor. My companions on the trip out included a pig, a goat, several chickens, and a wide assortment of foods, household articles, and building supplies. This was because almost everything used in the outer islands has to be shipped in from Magong and Taiwan. Qimei, which means literally "Seven Beauties," is the southernmost island of the Pescadores. Two miles long by 2 miles wides^{[sic – meaning wide]}, it has a population of about 5,500 people living in its six villages. A few days before I arrived there, a refugee boat from mainland China had landed on Qimei. In such cases, the government usually gives the people a propaganda tour of Taiwan and, if they decide to stay, settles them in Magong or Taipei.

     The majority of tourists, particularly those who visit during the peak summer months of July and August, reach Qimei by boat. Typically they arrive on pleasure craft that sail from Magong around 9 o’clock in the morning, stopping first at Wangan Island.
     These ferry excursions are such a finely developed tourist institution that it is usually possible to buy tickets that include the use of a Vespa-type scooter on both Wangan and Qimei, or if you would rather not trouble yourself with matters of parking and navigation, you can purchase tickets that include bus tours around both islands. Those weighing the former option should know there is hardly any traffic on Qimei, the roads are well maintained, and getting lost is pretty difficult.
     The tours allow visitors around two hours to explore Wangan and a similar amount of time on Qimei, and are back in Magong for dinner.
