What to expect
The Penghu archipelago is densely populated, and the ebb and flow of tides between the islands have created waterways of varying depths. The intertidal zone exposed after low tide adds one-third to Penghu's land area. This vast shallow plain, nourished by the sea, is not only a habitat for a myriad of marine life but also an economic resource area for islanders to gather snails, shellfish, shrimp, and crabs.
Amidst the depletion of Taiwan's fisheries, this ecologically rich and protected vast intertidal zone, a rarity elsewhere, consistently offers surprises. Delve into the fishing villages with local elders and engaging instructors, participating in "Grandma's Stone Mound Hugging."
"Stone Mound Hugging" - a unique and sustainable traditional fishing method in Penghu, is gradually declining due to the commercialization of fisheries and is on the verge of disappearing. Local grandmothers are dedicating their entire efforts to maintaining the waters. This activity was created to transmit cultural values and a sustainable intertidal fishery cycle through tourism activities.
