Penghu Cruise Experience: A Cruise from Magong to Kaohsiung

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 This time we took the Penghu Ferry from Magong to Kaohsiung, and experienced a smooth and sea-filled journey. Embarkation and departure In the afternoon, I arrived at Magong Port to prepare to board the ship. There were already quite a few passengers waiting at the pier, some of them were Penghu residents returning home, and some were travelers like me who were planning to go to Kaohsiung. The staff guided the passengers to board the ship in an orderly manner, and the luggage could also be checked in, which was very convenient. After getting on board, I found my seat. The cabin was clean and comfortable, with moderate seat spacing, allowing one to relax and rest. Some passengers choose to go to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze and appreciate the scenery of Penghu Port. I also walked to the deck and looked out at the coastline of Penghu. The sunlight reflected on the sea, making the waves sparkle, which was refreshing. Time sailing at sea As the boat slowly sailed away from the port, the scenery of Penghu gradually faded away. The boat was shaking slightly, but overall it was quite stable. During the voyage, passengers read books, listened to music, or chatted with friends, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. There is a canteen on the boat where you can buy snacks and drinks, and there are also movies playing to make the journey less boring. On the deck, the sea breeze blows, and looking into the distance, you can see the endless blue ocean and occasional seabirds flying. Some passengers held cameras to capture the beautiful sea view. I quietly admired the scenery of the sea and sky, and completely relaxed my mood. Arrival at Kaohsiung Port After several hours of sailing, the ship gradually approached Kaohsiung Port, and the 85 Building and the city outline in the distance gradually became clear. As the ship docked, passengers began to pack their luggage and prepare to disembark. When I stepped out of the cabin, I was greeted by the warm afternoon air of Kaohsiung and the busy port scene. The rhythm here is completely different from that of Penghu and is full of urban atmosphere. This Penghu cruise experience made me feel the unique charm of sea travel. It is neither as hurried as flying nor as different from land transportation. It is a more leisurely way of moving, allowing people to quietly enjoy the tranquility and vastness of the sea. Whether it is the beginning or the end of a journey, it is of special significance.
