Penghu Cross-sea Bridge Experience

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Penghu Cross-sea Bridge is one of the most representative landmarks in the Penghu Islands. It connects Baisha Island and Xiyu Island, spanning the blue sea. It is not only a major transportation route, but also a tourist destination full of history and scenery. Stepping onto the bridge in person this time gave me a deeper appreciation for Penghu’s magnificent scenery and the lives of the local people. Walking on the bridge, the sea breeze blows towards you, bringing with it a hint of saltiness and a breath of freedom. On both sides of the bridge is the endless sea, with waves beating against the bridge piers, and occasionally you can see fishing boats sailing leisurely. This kind of scenery makes people feel relaxed and happy, and feel the grandeur and tranquility of nature. This bridge not only has sightseeing value, but also carries the life memories of the people of Penghu. In the past, residents of Baisha and Xiyu had to rely on boats to travel between them. However, with the construction of this bridge, transportation has become much more convenient, which has also promoted local development. Standing on the bridge, I can imagine the hardships that went into building this bridge and its importance to Penghu. In addition, the attractions around the bridge are also worth visiting, such as the Xiyu Lighthouse and Erkan Village, which allow people to gain a deeper understanding of Penghu’s culture and history. And if the time is right, you can enjoy the sunset and the whole bridge is dyed with golden glow, which is breathtakingly beautiful. This trip to the cross-sea bridge not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificent sea view, but also to experience the life stories of the people of Penghu. This bridge is not only a building connecting two islands, but also a beautiful landscape connecting history and modernity, nature and humanity.
