It was originally named "Double House Stone Weir" and is a type of stone weir. It is also called "Double Weir Defense Weir". Because its shape is like two overlapping hearts, it is named "Double Heart Stone Weir". This stone weir was designed and built by Donghu villager Yan Gong. It is made of basalt and is currently the most beautiful one among the Penghu stone weirs. Stone fish traps were not originally used for sightseeing. Their main function was to build curved stone walls in the intertidal zone. When the tide came in, the sea would cover the top of the stone walls and bring in schools of fish. When the tide went out, the sea would flow away and the fish would be trapped in the stone walls. The stone fish traps in Penghu are likely to be the place with the highest density and the largest number in the world. The Double Heart Stone Weir is the most complete and romantic stone weir that has been preserved so far. If you want to see the entirety of the Double Heart Stone Weir, it is recommended that you first confirm the daily low tide time so that you can successfully see the complete Double Heart Stone Weir. In addition to the stone fish here, the "Jibei Island" in the north of Penghu is actually a famous stone fish group area and the most natural fishing ground. The distribution of stone fish ranks first in the whole county, and it is also known as the "Hometown of Stone Fish". Stone fish traps have a long history. Early ancestors wisely utilized the characteristics of the rising and falling tides and the migration of fish schools to build stone fish traps in the intertidal zone to catch fish. This is the oldest fishing method. Although you can go down to admire the Double Heart Rock when the tide is out, it is recommended to just take pictures from above, because it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and then walk up close. After all, it was originally used for fishing, so after the tide is out, there are still many creatures like barnacles growing on the rocks, which is still dangerous. This is a well-known tourist attraction. There are also many shops and vendors selling food and beverages. It is recommended to take a short break before moving on to the next itinerary. However, I personally don’t recommend the food in the restaurant. Although the squid balls are cheap, the taste is super ordinary, just like the squid balls in the fried chicken stall. It is recommended that you buy a drink if you are not hungry, and skip the food.
