Winter Trip to Penghu?!

Many people are puzzled when they hear about traveling to Penghu in winter. 'Aren't you afraid of being blown away by the northeast monsoon?' However, after experiencing it firsthand, you might find yourself wanting to fly there every winter! Indeed, Penghu is windy in winter, but the weather is dry and often features clear skies with the winter sun shining brightly! Winter in Penghu means everything is cheaper and less crowded. Flights and hotels are affordable, and tourist spots are often empty, allowing you to take as many scenic and Instagram-worthy photos as you like! Restaurants also don't have long queues (note: some restaurants in Penghu are closed in winter, so please check in advance). The quality of your trip will be greatly enhanced! If you dislike the heat, don't enjoy water activities, or island hopping, try visiting Penghu in winter. You might get hooked!

Penghu Moses Parting the Sea

Penghu's Qibi Mountain Moses Parting the Sea is a major attraction in Penghu. However, it's not always accessible, so be sure to check the schedule! Timing is crucial if you want to witness the Moses Parting the Sea phenomenon. The safe passage time is from 3 hours after high tide to 2 hours after low tide, during which visitors can walk in the middle of the sea. This basalt gravel path is about 300 meters long and 6 meters wide, humorously dubbed the 'Taiwanese Moses Parting the Sea' path. It is currently the most spectacular new sight at Qibi Mountain, attracting a large number of tourists every year to experience the awe of the sea parting for you.

Exploring the Wai'an Underground Bunker: A Journey Through Time

Exploring the Wai'an Underground Bunker: A Journey Through Time

Visiting Xiyu in Penghu is not just about enjoying the sea and the breeze; there are many historical footprints worth exploring. This time, I specifically visited the Wai'an Underground Bunker, a site rich in history and a touch of mystery. The entrance to the bunker is not very obvious, so you need to carefully follow the signs to find it. Once inside, you'll discover that the entire passageway is carved out of the mountain, creating a cool and slightly damp atmosphere that makes you imagine what it was like for soldiers stationed there. Many of the old facilities and spaces are still preserved, including command posts, ammunition depots, and air-raid shelters. Every corner seems to whisper the stories of the past. Walking inside, you get a sense of traveling through time. Although the space is not very large, the layout is well-designed, and some walls still have military diagrams and information boards to read. This allows visitors to not only take a quick look but also understand the strategic importance of Penghu at the time. Stepping out of the bunker and back into the sunlight, you truly feel a sense of 'seeing the light of day' again. This kind of site, though not commercialized, is very profound and is perfect for those who love history and military culture to explore.

In Penghu, you should live like this.

Penghu is a place suitable for a slow-paced lifestyle! Be sure to rent a scooter, take a speedboat, stay in a B&B, watch the sunrise in the morning, and enjoy the sunset in the evening. Indulge in seafood, brown sugar cake, and cactus ice cream. Enjoy a leisurely life, get close to nature, go snorkeling, hiking, stroll through old streets, snack around, ride jet skis, watch fireworks from a boat at night, go squid fishing, have a barbecue with friends, chat, admire the moon, and drink merrily!

Wind Cabinet Cave|Hear the Breath of the Sea.

Wind Cabinet Cave|Hear the Breath of the Sea.

One of the natural wonders you must not miss when visiting Penghu is the 'Wind Cabinet Cave'. This place is not just a geological landscape, but more like a sea-eroded cave that can speak. We arrived in the afternoon, the weather was fantastic, and the sea was sparkling. As we walked along the coast to the Wind Cabinet Cave, we could already hear the familiar 'whoosh-whoosh' sound. Upon closer inspection, the sea water splashing into the cave entrance instantly compressed the air, creating a whistling sound, as if the sea was whispering, or someone was blowing a whistle inside the cave. It was truly amazing! Besides the Wind Cabinet Cave itself, the nearby coastal scenery is also very beautiful, with large reefs and waves constantly crashing onto the shore, which is very soothing. Standing on the viewing platform, looking at the vast ocean and feeling the sea breeze, it really gives a sense of escaping from the hustle and bustle. This place is not overly commercialized, retaining its natural and primitive appearance. Walking around, watching the sea, and daydreaming here is really comfortable. If you like natural landscapes or want to experience the most primitive sound of the sea in Penghu, the Wind Cabinet Cave is definitely worth a visit.

The Beauty of Penghu (Taiwan)

The Beauty of Penghu (Taiwan)

Penghu, the pearl of the sea in Taiwan, attracts countless tourists with its unique natural scenery and charming marine culture. Every time you step onto this land, it feels like entering a colorful painting, mesmerizing and enchanting. We stayed at the five-star Pengcheng Hotel. Inside, there is an indoor extreme experience hall where both adults and children spent the whole day rock climbing and parkouring. It was quite fun! Outdoors, the blue sea water and white sandy beaches of Penghu complement each other, with waves gently lapping the shore, creating a pleasant sound. Walking along the beach, feeling the breeze on your face, your mood relaxes. In the summer of Penghu, whether diving, snorkeling, or riding a jet ski, you can enjoy the fun of the sea. Especially on the white sandy beach of Qimei, the soft sand feels like fine powder, making you want to stay there forever. Besides the magnificent sea views, Penghu's natural scenery is equally stunning. From the sunset views of Xiyu to the rocky beaches of Magong, every corner exudes the unique charm of nature. Especially among the islands of Penghu, such as Green Island and Heisha Bay, these mysterious small islands allow you to appreciate the poetry of nature during your adventures. Penghu's culture is also profound and charming. The temples and historical sites here, such as Xiamei Cave Temple and Tianhou Temple, showcase the diversity and uniqueness of local beliefs. The grand annual Mazu pilgrimage event makes you feel the love and reverence Penghu people have for the sea goddess. Savoring Penghu's cuisine, the seafood is especially fresh and delicious. Local specialties like Penghu scallops and sea urchins are mouthwatering whether eaten raw or grilled. In Penghu, every scenery is like a memory, and every moment is a story, making you linger and forget to return. It is not only a great place for vacation but also a place where you can calm down and think. Whether it's the delicate beaches or the ancient culture, Penghu uses its beauty to give every visitor endless emotions and inspiration. I hope to come again next time to savor another kind of beauty of this sea pearl. Penghu is a place worth visiting again and again. Winter has its beauty, and summer has its excitement. Eating a cactus ice cream to relieve the sweaty heat, drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup to drive away the bone-chilling cold brought by the northeast monsoon. When I have the chance to visit Penghu again, I want to experience island hopping and deeply explore the charm of Taiwan's largest small island.

In fact, the scenery of the bay is very beautiful, and the atmosphere is relatively leisurely and peaceful. 2. NAIAN BEACH ⛱ 🚗Erkan Chen Family Ancient House is owned by the Chen family. It is a three-storey one-story house. The walls are made of local stone and basalt to support the roof structure.
