Penghu — An island gently embraced by the sea
#NaturalLandscape #100WaysToTravel
Penghu, an island gently embraced by the sea, has always exuded a unique charm. This time, I set foot on the main island of Penghu to experience its natural wonders and cultural customs.
After arriving in Penghu, one of my stops was the famous Moses Sea. This natural wonder is located in Chikan Village on the main island of Penghu. Whenever the tide goes out, the sea water on both sides slowly recedes, revealing a winding sandbar path, as if the ocean is divided into two, hence the name "Moses Dividing the Sea". Walking on this naturally formed sea trail, it feels like being in a mythical world, surrounded by blue water and soft sandbanks under your feet. The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness, making people forget all their worries and just want to immerse themselves in this magical scenery.
Next, I came to the Guoye Sun Viewing Tower. As a great place to enjoy the sunrise in Penghu, Guoye Sunrise Tower is quiet and beautiful in the morning. As the sun slowly rises, golden sunlight shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle, and the whole world is shrouded in a soft light. Standing on the Sun Viewing Tower, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky, one can't help but marvel at the magnificence of nature. This place is not only suitable for watching the sunrise, but also very suitable for sitting quietly in the evening and enjoying the sunset.
In addition to these natural landscapes, other experiences on Penghu Island are equally unforgettable. Take a stroll along Penghu Old Street and feel the island’s rich historical atmosphere and simple folk customs. The island’s temple culture is also very distinctive. Temples with a long history, such as the Tianhou Temple, carry the beliefs and prayers of Penghu residents.
Of course, food is also an integral part of traveling. Penghu's seafood is famous for its freshness. When you come here, it is a must to enjoy a rich seafood feast. I particularly like the local small tube noodles and cactus ice, which are delicious and unforgettable.
