🏡Erkan Village – Taiwan’s Hidden Heritage Gem

#summervacay Step into a different era at Erkan Village, a time capsule on Penghu Island where 300-year-old stone houses still whisper stories of the past. This isn't your typical beach destination — it’s where culture, history, and quiet beauty collide. 🪨 What Makes It Special? Traditional Minnan-style stone houses with coral walls & red tile roofs Preserved courtyards, ancestral halls, and hand-carved wooden windows Local vendors selling brown sugar mochi & cactus ice cream 🍡🌵 Meet the Chen family descendants, still living in the village after 23 generations! 📍Location: Xiyu Township, Penghu (Erkan 聚落) 🕒 Best Time to Visit: Morning light or golden hour 💡 Tips: Rent a scooter or car — public transport is limited Don’t miss the Erkan Folk Culture Museum Stay for sunset at Daguoye Columnar Basalt, just a short ride away If you're chasing the soul of Taiwan — it's here, in stone and silence. #erkanvillage #penghuisland #taiwanheritage #hiddenvillages #culturaltravel #minnanarchitecture #slowtravelasia #oldtowncharm #underratedtaiwan #islandvibesonly
