The name Hon Yen, or “Salangane Island,” is derived from its history as a nesting site for thousands of salanganes, a type of swiftlet.

Swiftlet Islet reveals its stunning coral reefs at low tide, offering a unique exploration experience.

Hon Yen, with its breathtaking coral reefs, was designated a national relic site in April 2018. This recognition celebrates the area’s geological wonders, cultural significance, historical value, and rich floral diversity.

Local fishermen cast their nets in the hope of catching anchovies and shellfish, a timeless tradition.
