Coisas para fazer em Penghu

Everything was very pleasant. Although we originally booked for 7:40 PM, they called us in advance to ask if we wanted to move the time up because there weren't enough people. We agreed, and actually, watching the sunset at 6:30 PM was perfect. We also enjoyed a relaxing evening of squid fishing. The crew members were all very polite and always smiling. My children were more interested in the video games, but at least it offered another option. The boat was really new, beautiful, and very clean. The squid noodles had just the right amount of salt and were delicious, and there were also jelly and brown sugar cakes. All the passengers were quite well-behaved and not noisy, creating a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, which we were very lucky to experience. Also, each fishing rod was prepared for us, and they looked very neat, which was nice. Even though no one on the boat caught any squid, the sea breeze was very pleasant, and it wasn't too hot. With the gentle sunset, I think this experience was truly wonderful.

O horário de encontro foi 20 minutos antes da partida, programado para as 7h40, mas a partida real foi às 8h00... porque estávamos à espera de um grupo de turistas... Havia um guia a bordo que nos acompanhava, por exemplo, combinávamos um horário para fazer o tour com ela, o serviço foi muito bom. No entanto, no regresso, a navegação pelas pequenas ilhas não teve qualquer explicação! Em Dongjiyu, ficámos 1,5 horas, e em Qimei, 3 horas (incluindo almoço por conta própria), tempo mais do que suficiente! Muito bom – no geral, o passeio de um dia pelas ilhas não é caro, recomendo! 👍

I originally thought we wouldn't see many beautiful sights in Hangwan, and figured it would be good enough if they offered snorkeling for the kids. However, our coach turned out to be a very knowledgeable and handsome young man. I told him he resembled Ah Cui from the Fubon Guardians. He provided a thorough explanation of the unique features of each scenic spot along the way. Furthermore, we discovered that Love Fun is genuinely dedicated to helping the government restore coral in the ocean, having successfully transplanted the Lavender Forest, which is typically only found on southern islands. Each segment truly made us appreciate Penghu's waters even more. Thank you to the coach for taking photos of our entire family throughout the trip.

It's a superb one day tour when my family really did enjoy every minute of the tour. Snorkeling, sea slides, sway fast boat and fantastic lunch... Every details is done well to our satisfaction. Staff are humorous and passionate through the whole day.

Fish Trapping with Stone Piles Stone piling is another traditional fishing method in Penghu, besides stone weirs. It involves building stone piles (piers) in the intertidal zone during low tide. After fish use these piles as habitats, a net is used to catch them when the stone piles are dismantled. My younger daughter and I participated in this activity last year. She couldn't stop talking about it afterward and kept saying she wanted to bring her mom and sister to experience it. So, we took the opportunity during this trip to Penghu to do it again.

When visiting Penghu, a trip to Jibei Island is a must, especially for families with children. The boat ride is only 20 minutes, so you won't get seasick. We chose the 10:30 AM departure and 4:00 PM return. Since this tour only offers fixed times, it felt a bit long for us as we didn't participate in any water activities, but it was still very worthwhile!

Penghu Aquarium is definitely worth a visit; I highly recommend the diver feeding show, it's spectacular. It's perfect for families to take photos and see marine life. As an indoor attraction with air conditioning, you don't have to worry about sun exposure, making it a nice and comfortable outing. The kids loved it and had a great time. It was really cool to even see giant groupers.

On Qimei Island, we chose to take the bus. It was a spacious, air-conditioned coach, which was very comfortable. We had 15-30 minutes at each scenic spot, which was plenty of time to take photos, and the tour was very efficient. The bus driver also acted as a tour guide, providing commentary while driving. Please note that this tour is not designed for foreigners and commentary is only provided in Chinese. As a Japanese speaker with only enough Chinese to understand meeting times, I was still able to participate in the tour without any issues. Seating on the ferry is open, and when traveling between islands, it's first-come, first-served again. Arriving earlier than the designated meeting time allows you to choose your preferred seat.

Assim que o barco atracou em Penghu, o guia turístico ligou para informar onde seria o transporte e também explicou muitas precauções no ônibus.
