In 1349, Wang Dayuan documented his visit to Taiwan,^[15] noting the absence of Chinese settlers on the island, but their presence on Penghu.^[16] He distinguished different regions of Taiwan as Liuqiu and Pisheye. Liuqiu was described as a land of vast forests and mountains with a warmer climate than Penghu. Its inhabitants had unique customs, relied on rafts for transport, wore colorful clothing, and derived salt from seawater and liquor from sugarcane. They practiced cannibalism against foes and had a variety of local products and trade items.^[17] On the other hand, Pisheye, situated to the east, was characterized by its mountainous terrain and limited agriculture. Its residents had distinct tattoos, wore hair in tufts, and engaged in raiding and kidnapping.^[18] Historian Efren B. Isorena deduced that the Pisheye people of Taiwan and the Visayans from the Philippines were closely related, as the Visayans were known to travel to Taiwan before raiding China.^[19]
