[2025 Penghu Attraction] Travel Guide for Magong (Updated Sep)

Summer in Penghu may be scorching, but it's the best time to visit the sea. For this trip, I chose to fly from Taipei Songshan Airport. Although the airfare was about NT$2,000 more expensive than a ferry ticket, the overall comfort and time efficiency were significantly better. For transportation on the island, I opted to rent a mini electric scooter (no license required). Most of the attractions are concentrated on Penghu Main Island and Xiyu. The scooter's maximum speed is about 50 km/hr, and it takes approximately 25 minutes to travel from Magong City to the Cross-Sea Bridge. Along the way, there are plenty of charging stations, and you can also swap batteries at 7-11 stores, making the experience very convenient and user-friendly. Airfare: NT$3,980 (round trip) Mini electric scooter: NT$600/day Penghu - The Land of Azure Seas

#台湾地方游 I arranged a family trip during the summer vacation. I looked for many B&Bs. This B&B is not far from the downtown area of ​​Magong. Although there is no elevator, there are rooms on the first floor, so it is convenient for the elderly to stay. Each room has a balcony. The small four-person room on the second floor is small, but it is only compared with the other four-person room in the B&B. In fact, the space is quite good. There is a long sofa, two double beds, and the remaining space is more than enough to unpack the luggage. The drinking cups are placed in the public space. The balcony looks out onto an open lawn which is quite comfortable. It is also quite convenient to wash clothes at night and hang them on the balcony so that you can collect them during the day. Address: No. 61-3, Tiexianli, Magong City, Penghu County #local travel #good place for families #Penghu B&B #quad room

The last stop in Penghu is Central Street in Magong City, Penghu, where there are Tianhou Temple, Four Eyes Well, Central Hotel and specialty shops. It is also very close to the famous product street, so it is very suitable to be arranged on the last day of the trip. There was a Chinese medicine shop selling medicinal eggs next to the Four Eyes Well, but unfortunately it was too late when I arrived and they were sold out. I wanted to visit the inner temple of Tianhou Temple, but I couldn’t after 6 o’clock, so I could only admire the beauty of the architecture from the outside. (The entire temple closes at 7:00) Address: Central Street, Magong, Penghu #Penghu #Magong #Tianhou Temple

I was originally planning to go to the Chouchou Museum, but when I saw there was a visitor center next to it, I decided to go in and take a look 🤣. There are tourist information stations and friendly staff 🙋🏻‍♀️, as well as Penghu special exhibitions divided into themes, including food 🍡, ancient houses, beautiful scenery 🌅, festivals 🥳 and souvenirs. The exhibition is very thoughtfully arranged, with pictures, explanations, and three-dimensional replicas. The introduction is concise and precise, and the content is clear at a glance👍🏻. After visiting the exhibition hall, you will know how to have fun in Penghu. It is especially suitable for visiting at the beginning of your journey😎. The facilities here are complete, with toilets, water dispensers, tables and chairs, and a park. You can play for at least half an hour to an hour📍.

Penghu Sea 🎣📍Address: Penghu Islands

Penghu, a dazzling archipelago scattered across the Taiwan Strait, is not only synonymous with sunny beaches but also a treasure trove of geological wonders and marine ecosystems. Every visit to Penghu feels like an intimate dialogue with the azure sea, a thrilling island-hopping journey to uncover the secrets of nature. My trips to Penghu always revolve around island-hopping adventures. The first must-visit spot is Tongpan Island, home to columnar basalt formations. These hexagonal stone pillars, shaped by millions of years of weathering and erosion, rise majestically in layers and are often referred to as "Penghu's Yellowstone Park." Standing beneath the towering basalt cliffs, one cannot help but marvel at the craftsmanship of nature. Next, I take a boat to Wang'an Island, where I not only experience the simplicity of the fishing village but also indulge in the pristine beauty of the Net'an Beach. Walking barefoot on its fine, white sand, feeling its gentle touch, and gazing at the endless horizon where the sea meets the sky, my heart feels liberated. However, the most breathtaking experience in Penghu is undoubtedly the "Blue Cave" on Xiji Island. This sea cave, illuminated by sunlight streaming through cracks in its roof, transforms the water into a mesmerizing shade of blue, creating a dreamlike scene reminiscent of "Spirited Away." Accessing the Blue Cave requires specific boats and favorable tides, but once you witness its mysterious blue glow, all the effort feels worthwhile. Surrounding the Blue Cave are impressive basalt sea stacks, equally awe-inspiring. Beyond these geological wonders, Penghu offers a plethora of marine activities. Whether it's snorkeling, diving, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), each activity allows you to delve deeper into Penghu's crystal-clear underwater world, dancing alongside vibrant tropical fish and coral reefs. As evening falls, the golden hues of the sunset at Jibei Sand Spit paint the sea in radiant colors, providing a perfect conclusion to a day of exploration. Penghu truly is a destination that enriches both the eyes and the soul.

🆓Free Attractions🆓 Penghu County Aquatic Seedling Breeding Farm A great place that I discovered by accident two days before departure Free admission, known as the best air-conditioning in Penghu😂, open all year round There is a very special activity called #plantingcorals You have to go to the official website to make an appointment first, but when I went to see it, it was no longer available. I think it would be faster to just call and ask Just give me a few time slots to choose from and it'll be done in no time. I chose 9am on holidays, which is the first show after the museum opens. We arrived early~ I thought we'd go for a walk first There are viewing boxes and touch pools on the second floor. You can go there and see them directly. The touch pool has starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers Completely empty venue 😂 The child was a little scared at first, but then he took it boldly❤️ The tour guide came at 9 o'clock because we were the only group. So it is a VIP-level guided tour with a lot of benefits And she seriously introduced us where to eat and have fun in Penghu👍 Entering the stage of planting corals Actually, it's just a matter of picking one and inserting it. Corals can only grow one centimeter per year. If they survive and grow taller, they can be released back into the sea. During this period, she also introduced the characteristics of each cylinder. And what is the work done in the seedling farm? Restoration and seeing which marine life can be cultivated Overall, I think it's worth coming. Although it's not big, we stayed there for more than an hour👍 There were quite a lot of people after 9 o'clock. There is a real difference between having a guided tour and seeing it on your own, so remember to make an appointment! #PenghuFreeAttractions #PenghuRainyDayRecord #PenghuIndoorAttractions #Penghu Family Attractions #Penghu County Aquatic Seedling Breeding Farm #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

Highly recommended! #familytravel

These two shops are very close to each other. I highly recommend you to go there. My colleague felt unsatisfied after eating the turtle barbecue and bought another box. The tender grass jelly is also delicious. However, please note that Yuguan will be closed for a while around the end of October. It may be because there are fewer tourists in Penghu in winter.

#Taiwan Local Tour We booked a homestay several months ago. Breakfast is very important for this group of people, young and old. We communicated in advance to let the homestay owner know each other's needs. The B&B owner said that they had stopped serving breakfast for a while because they felt it was a waste if everyone didn't finish the food and had leftovers. I asked him not to worry because we would eat it all. The boss is very attentive. The breakfast is different every day, and the local specialties are unforgettable. On the first day, the boss prepared Zhongji sesame cakes. It's a pity that the sesame cakes and fried dough sticks seemed to be delivered at around 7 o'clock. When we went downstairs for breakfast, they were cold. However, the crust of Zhongji sesame cakes is quite unique, thick and sweet. On the second day, breakfast was rice balls, which won everyone's unconditional love. It was delicious and rich in ingredients. On the third day, the boss's mother helped us cook a super heart-warming pumpkin seafood rice cake, a full pot, and I really felt the enthusiasm of the homestay owner. In fact, the meals cooked now should be the benefits of those who booked the whole building. We only booked 4 rooms and one room was missing to book the whole building, but the boss also helped us prepare it. Thank you very much.
