Things to do in Penghu

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!

This is my second time visiting Penghu, and I feel so lucky to have experienced the South Penghu Marine National Park this time! It was really amazing. Our tour guide, Xiao Liu, was very dedicated and professional. He even helped us take beautiful pictures. It was such a wonderful day; all I can say is "amazing!"

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.

A trip worth reliving again and again. Especially the leisurely journey from Jibei Island to Mudou Island, with its calm seas, blue skies and white clouds, crystal-clear waters, clearly visible seabed coral, and the constant sight of fish darting through the water. On the flat-bottomed boat, watching the striking black and white lighthouse of Mudou Island, the white-walled houses, and the black igneous rocks standing on the endless sea, combined with the blue sky and white clouds, merge into a stunning picture that is amazing and unforgettable!

The staff is friendly and polite. The seafood congee is just okay, the taste is pretty average, so one bowl is probably... enough. The all-you-can-eat grilled oysters are acceptable, the freshness is above average; some are sweet and fresh, while others taste a bit off, so it’s a bit of a gamble. There are simple amusement facilities on the boat 👍, and the scenery on the boat is comfortable 👍. The fishing experience is a very... very touristy experience...

This time, I brought my family to quickly learn about Penghu culture, and our first stop was the Penghu Living Museum. It mainly displays rich content related to Penghu's history, culture, and customs, and it is also a suitable indoor attraction for families to visit together. The museum uses real cultural relics, models, audio-visual multimedia, and life scene restoration to allow visitors to deeply understand the local life trajectory of Penghu. The tickets are very reasonable and it is really worth a visit 👍

Both Cimei and Wang-an islands offer scooters for touring and taking photos around the island. The time for each island is tight at under 2 hours. The boat ride to either island is 70 minutes one way, and many people get seasick and vomit if the waves are high. The return boat trip from either island is about 30 minutes.

A highly recommended day trip! If it's all adults, I recommend the Romantic Tour! This time, I chose the Super Value option with water activities in the morning and a guided intertidal zone tour in the afternoon. This is my second time participating!!

It was a lot of fun! We joined the tour that didn't involve water activities. We were initially concerned that the housewives who cook all year round wouldn't be interested in making dried fish overnight, but they ended up having a great time. The lunch was delicious, and we saw many terns while cruising on the boat. All three eighty-year-olds were very satisfied.
