Penghu

This was such a unique experience! Loved it! I would highly recommend this as an activity to do one evening!

Check in at the Jinbada counter at the Penghu South Sea Visitor Center at 7:30 AM, then head to Qimei first followed to Wang'an. Departure times will be broadcasted. The boat ride was smooth, but I felt the time spent at Wang'an and Qimei was a bit too short. There wasn't enough time to explore some of the smaller spots on the islands, so I'll just have to visit again if I get the chance.

My first island-hopping trip to Donghai was quite fun! We set off at 10 AM, and the captain first took us to see the magnificent basalt columns. Then, we went to the island village for lunch (seafood congee + three side dishes), where locals were selling fresh, delicious sea urchins for 200 each. After eating, we headed to Pengpeng Beach for water activities. We started with inflatable games, then moved on to the slide, diving, and swing in the sea. Finally, we tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). After finishing around 4 PM, we prepared for our return, concluding a full day of activities.

On the first day of our Penghu trip, it was very windy and rainy. Our tour guide, Xiao Hei Ge, was humorous and engaging. He provided detailed explanations at every scenic spot we visited, and every snack he recommended was a must-try Penghu delicacy. I really enjoyed having Xiao Hei Ge as our guide and would love to have him again next time.

The shop is a bit far from the airport, so they provide a shuttle service. Both the driver and the shop staff were very friendly. The vehicle was new and comfortable to ride, though it's a shame they didn't provide helmet liners. It was great that it didn't rain at all these past few days. A 20-inch suitcase fits perfectly on the footrest.

Our recent return visit to Noah's Ark in Ma Wan was a thoroughly satisfying experience. The park is spacious, offering plenty of room, and its facilities are both entertaining and educational, making it ideal for families. Children can learn while having fun. The staff were friendly and patiently answered any questions, providing reassuring service. The park's restaurant boasts an excellent environment, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic sea views, creating a comfortable and relaxing dining atmosphere. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. We received a 20% discount when purchasing tickets, which significantly reduced costs and enhanced the overall value. In addition to indoor exhibits, outdoor activities like cycling are available, allowing visitors to connect with nature. The only minor drawback was the number of insects in the outdoor areas, so it's advisable to bring insect repellent. Overall, this is a high-quality family attraction that is well worth visiting again.

The cruise ship is clean and comfortable, and the price isn't expensive. I especially recommend the sleeper cabins; they are truly comfortable! You can lie down and sleep the whole way until you arrive. The journey wasn't very dizzying either; the large ship body was very comfortable, and there's even a cafe and game room inside. It's like a deluxe version of a cruise ferry. The kids were very at ease on the ship, able to freely explore and run around, and when they got tired, they could go back to the sleeper cabin to rest. It's especially suitable for families with babies, as taking a baby on a cramped plane or small boat is truly a nightmare. The next time I go to Penghu, I will definitely choose the Penghu Ferry again.

Li Wen arrived at the hotel promptly at 10 AM to pick us up. Since we didn't have any specific attractions planned, she helped us choose the most suitable places to visit. The entire trip was very pleasant and comfortable, and we hope to explore other parts of Penghu next time.

We'd like to thank the driver for providing such a detailed introduction to Penghu's attractions, allowing us to capture the beauty of Penghu. Since we were traveling with elderly family members, the driver also kindly helped them get out of the car, which we truly appreciate.
