[2025 Penghu Attraction] Travel Guide for Dachih Basalt Formation (Updated Apr)

Located in Xiyu, Erkan's historic houses offer a glimpse into the early residential life, with many unique shops along the way for visitors to explore. Almond tea and tofu pudding are must-try delicacies when visiting Erkan, and in recent years, some trendy new shops have also set up here, worth wandering around and checking out. Further down towards the back mountain and seaside, you'll find another famous site, the Daguoye Basalt, a spectacular expanse that's truly a sight to behold👍

Basalt is a true indicator of Penghu. I had only seen it in books before. Seeing this breathtaking natural landscape with my own eyes, I couldn't help but take several photos. The adorable Nanliao ancient houses transform a series of floating balls into art. Fongguei Cave, a must-photograph spot for Instagram-worthy views. Like clouds floating in the air, standing near the cliff and listening to the sound of the waves makes one stop and enjoy the moment.

Today we went to Chidong Big Fruit Leaf Basalt to admire the unique rock geology and beautiful scenery☀. Of course we need to cool down in the hot summer🥵, so we went to the Big Fruit Leaf Italian Handmade Gelato at the foot of the mountain and the sea to eat ice cream. This shop uses real local food to make ice cream, and there are many flavors to choose from, such as pumpkin, cactus, cantaloupe, watermelon, mango and strawberry, etc. I tried the mulberry flavor. The ice cream has natural fruit pulp, sour and slightly sweet, and has a smooth taste 😋. The crispy cone is very crispy and will not become soft until the end of the meal. The whole cone is well coordinated 🍧. His shop is very large, with indoor and outdoor tables and chairs, where you can comfortably enjoy high-quality ice cream and cool down 🏝. Highly recommended to friends who like to eat ice to cool down and those who don’t usually eat ice 👍👍👍. Opening hours: 10am – 5pm Location: No. 11, Daguoye, Xiyu Township, Penghu County Price: NT$80/ball Rating: 9/10 📝Extra information: In addition to selling Italian gelato, the shop also sells coffee and drinks #TaiwanPass #Penghu #PenghuFireworksFestival #ChidongBigFruitLeafBasalt #GoodPlaceForParents #HotspotsForCoolingOut

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!

His position is amazing. The road there was actually quite desolate. But there is a FamilyMart near this attraction😂 You can probably tell that this is a must-do when you come to Penghu. When I visited Penghu more than ten years ago, basalt was not popular yet. There are now no less than ten basalt scenic spots. Seeing it with my own eyes is quite impressive. This is actually on a downhill road. There will be water accumulation only if it has rained It looks like a lake, and it will be more beautiful when photographed. It's really worth a visit. I suggest charging an entrance fee. It's too good to be free! After the photoshoot, I went to FamilyMart to buy some drinks and popsicles. It was too hot. #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #Penghu delicious and fun #Penghu Internet beauty attractions #Penghu must go

During the Japanese colonial period, a wharf was built on the beach of Daguoye to connect the sea traffic between Magong and Xiyu. When digging stones and soil, this magnificent columnar basalt buried in the soil for thousands of years was accidentally discovered. It can be said to be the most accessible columnar basalt on Penghu Island. This trip to Penghu specifically included a visit to the Chidong Macrocarpon Basalt. It was truly spectacular when I saw it in person, a wonder of nature! There is also the Erkan Village nearby. In 2001, the Ministry of the Interior designated Erkan Village as the first traditional settlement preservation area in Taiwan. In recent years, the restored old houses have been handed over to the "Erkan Village Settlement Association" for full use and developed into various small exhibition halls with local cultural characteristics, including the Common People's Life Hall, Intertidal Zone Hall, Community Museum, Chinese Medicine Hall, Children's Play Hall, and Praise Song Hall.

It is located next to the coastal highway in Xiyu Township. During the Japanese colonial period, a pier was built on the Big Fruit Leaf beach to connect the sea transportation between Magong and Xiyu. When digging stones and soil, this magnificent columnar basalt buried in the soil and sleeping for thousands of years was accidentally discovered. The formation of the Macrocarpon columnar basalt can be traced back to 16 million years ago. After the lava from the volcanic eruption flowed into the sea, it quickly cooled and shrank to form special pentagonal and hexagonal rock bodies. Under the erosion of sea breeze, it presents its current spectacular appearance. There is a parking lot but not many spaces. There are toilets and convenience stores on the other side. There is Italian gelato on the other side of the building. The taste is rich and delicious. It is only open until October and closed in winter.

#WinHongKongTickets The Macrocarpon Basalt in Penghu is a natural landscape located in the southeast of Penghu Island and is one of the geological wonders of Penghu. The Macrocarpon Basalt is composed of volcanic rocks and has a peculiar shape, like huge fruit leaves scattered on the seashore. These basalt rocks have formed various strange shapes due to long-term weathering and erosion by waves. Some look like flowers, some look like animals. In short, each rock has its own unique shape and story. Visiting the Macrocarpon Basalt, you can feel the magic and creativity of nature, and also enjoy the unique coastal scenery of Penghu. Especially at sunset, the golden light reflected from the rocks contrasts beautifully with the blue sky and blue sea, giving people an extremely wonderful feeling. In addition to viewing the rocks, visitors can also take a walk on the nearby beach, feel the sea breeze, listen to the sound of the waves, relax and enjoy a quiet moment. #Penghu #Penghu basalt #Big fruit leaf basalt #Chidong Big fruit leaf basalt #Chixi columnar basalt #Natural landscape I want to go to Hong Kong to eat, drink and have fun!

When you come to Penghu, besides the cross-sea bridge, the most must-photograph thing is the basalt‼ ️ The origin of basalt is that after the magma erupts from the surface, as the temperature gradually decreases, it cools and contracts, resulting in these columnar landscapes. There are many different basalt landscapes in Penghu, such as the large fruit leaf columnar jointed basalt in Xiyu Township, the Chixi columnar basalt, etc. After seeing them, I have to admire the wonders of nature🤩But it is a bit difficult to walk and it is easy to fall. If you want to take beautiful photos, you must be more careful⛔️ #Penghu #PenghuAttractions #PenghuTravel #Travel beautiful photo girl#Learn photography skills#Guide to scenic spot photography#Cool travel experience#Seaside photography guide#Hiking#Good place for parents and children
