Penghu

An incredibly fun and fulfilling trip! The tour leaders are all so enthusiastic and funny. Every time we were all feeling nauseous, they would say something that made us smile and relieved our tired, sick feelings. Plus, the tour leaders are amazing photographers! Super professional, practically experts! We were lucky to have sunshine today, so every view was beautiful. So fortunate!

There's plenty of time at each stop. You can walk around Barrel Islet, and rent a scooter on Tiger Islet. If you forgot to add the scooter rental when booking your trip, you can add it on-site for the same price. Overall, you'll need to set aside about half a day for this!

There's nothing to complain about with such a well-developed and affordable tour package. You feel very safe with all the activities provided, and the instructors prioritize safety. I recommend going early and returning late to really get your money's worth. The boat departs on time, so don't be late!

Sitting at the front of the boat is comfortable and you're less likely to get seasick. But snorkeling made me really dizzy and cold 😅 Dongyuping is beautiful. All the staff were great (Quan Quan told me to write down names, but I honestly forgot 😂) The water activities were a lot of fun. The staff took photos seriously and encouraged us to get in the water. It was my first time trying SUP, and it was a lot of fun. All four of us had a great time.

So lucky that the rain stopped as the boat set sail, and we were accompanied by a sunset and a rainbow. Sitting on the comfortable deck, the view was great and the sea breeze was lovely. Listening to the humorous and fun tour guide as they happily gave the tour. The tour guide helped take beautiful photos as we passed the cross-sea bridge. We got to see the Beihai Blue Cave and Tie zhen Islet, which we missed yesterday. Feeding the largest population of seagulls, the Black-browed Terns. We landed on the deserted island of Gupo Islet to enjoy the scenery and the hidden Queen's Head rock formation. Enjoying a delicious meal under the romantic starry sky on the deserted island. Finally, squid fishing was difficult, but one person on the boat caught two! 😂

I was lucky enough to have my itinerary upgraded that day, adding an exploration activity on Dongji Island, which made the trip even more complete. There are two ways to explore Dongji Island: follow the tour guide on foot, hike up the small "Bagua Mountain," and listen to the guide's humorous introduction to the unique flora, fauna, and customs of Dongji Island, which is very rewarding. From the Bagua Mountain Meteorological Station, you can overlook the entire harbor, with beautiful scenery. A small road next to it extends to the Dongji Island Lighthouse (unfortunately, due to limited tour time, we could only see it from a distance and take photos). Finally, follow the guide downhill back to the harbor. The second way is to rent a scooter (NT$250 per scooter) and explore the island on your own, which is the most free, time-saving, and labor-saving way to fully explore all the attractions of Dongji Island. After the Dongji Island exploration, the second itinerary was a cruise to the "Blue Cave," but unfortunately the "blue sky index" was low that day, so we couldn't get a glimpse of the beauty of the Blue Cave. The last stop was Qimei Island. There are also two ways to explore it: one is to take a dedicated tour bus, with the driver providing a guided tour of Qimei's classic scenic spots - the Seven Beauties Tomb (a brief stop, without entering to purchase tickets). Along the way, admire the unique igneous rock statues along the Qimei coast that resemble animals - crocodiles, stone lions, and dragon ridges (three points of resemblance, seven points of imagination), as well as the "Little Taiwan" sea erosion platform that resembles the island of Taiwan. Finally, arrive at the Double-Heart Stone Weir, which is also beautiful with a bit of blue sky and sea.

There's been so much rain this year, even Penghu can't escape it. When it rains, a museum visit is the way to go. Although it's not as elaborate or huge as the aquarium, it still feels like they put a lot of effort into it. So come on over and have some fun when it rains! You can also come and enjoy the air conditioning when it's hot.

If you enjoy leisurely exploring, I wouldn't recommend this tour. Spending only two hours on each island really isn't enough time to fully appreciate their beauty! The scooters on Qimei Island are quite old, and the rental process is a bit overwhelming. After handing the rental voucher to the car rental company staff, everyone rushes to the parking lot to pick up a scooter, leaving no time to inspect the vehicle's condition!

The entire process was incredibly smooth. Even though we didn't catch any baby squid to add to the meal, we still got to enjoy hot and delicious squid noodles, and even brown sugar cake for dessert. We got to experience three local ingredients directly - highly recommended!
