Things to do in Penghu

Professional! They start with a lesson on land, and when you're out at sea, they pay special attention to students who are afraid of the water, which makes you feel very safe! They also introduce the marine life and coral reef restoration efforts. The instructor is young and handsome! 100 points!

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!

One of the most anticipated activities for my Penghu trip was definitely going for the "Seafood Congee and All-You-Can-Eat Grilled Oysters," and it did not disappoint! We also ordered some extra fried baby squid and crispy fried anchovies. Eating local means fresh ingredients 🤤

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!!

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.

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!"

First, visit Tongpan Island, then Hujing Island. Tongpan Island is small enough to explore the island on foot. For Hujing Island, renting a scooter is a must. Scooter rentals are available on-site for $150. There are also cats to play with. There are many photo spots when you climb to the top, and the Tropic of Cancer landmark is also nice. Be sure to bring plenty of water on your trip, otherwise the heat will be unbearable.

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.

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 👍
