The Seven Outlying Islands in Taiwan: 2. Penghu Islands

 The Seven Outlying Islands in Taiwan: 2. Penghu Islands


Penghu: an undisturbed romantic secret


"The evening breeze is blowing on Penghu, the white waves are chasing the beach, there is no coconut grove and the drunk setting sun, just a blue sea..." A song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" dragged our thoughts to the distant 1980s, where there was no noise and scattered With dozens of small and large islands in the world, there is only an undisturbed secret realm. From 4/20-6/22 every Monday and Thursday, there is also the biggest firework festival in the year!





Qimei Island-Taiwan’s most romantic "Double Heart Stone Shanghai"




Qimeiyu is like a quiet girl, the whole island presents a fresh and bright color, as if you can feel a unique natural fragrance with your fingertips. In this sea area, the color of the sea water is naturally beautiful, and the blue is as dazzling as a gem! In addition, the romantic "Shuangxin Shihu" also attracts tourists from afar every day, which is enough to admire nature The extraordinary workmanship.


Transportation: There are sea roads (Nanhu Port) and aviation (Qimei Airport) in and out of Qimei, which can be easily accessed.


Jibe Island-




This is as famous as San Francisco Bay and Halong Bay in Vietnam. The sky here is blue and pure, and the air is fresh and bubbling. In addition to a golden bay of thousands of meters on the west bank, there are countless water activities such as banana boats, jet skis, and snorkeling. Of course, you can also cycle around the island, catch fish and crabs in Shihu, or go fishing by boat!


Transportation: Take a boat from Kaohsiung Port to Magong Port; 2) Take a boat from Chiayi Budai Port to Magong Port.


Dangerous Reef Island (Bikini Island)-






With the blue sea, salty wind and brilliant sunshine, a romantic summer love song unfolds slowly. Xianjiaoyu is the filming location of the Taiwanese drama "Original Summer". It is particularly comfortable to step on the white sand beach. In addition, it is also a favorite paradise for snorkelers. You can see schools of tropical fish and beautiful corals as soon as you dive into the water! If you have time, it is recommended to stay on the island for a few days with the moon and the stars. The feeling of falling asleep with Haitao is really great.


Transportation: You can take a speedboat to Xianjiao Island at Chikan Wharf in Penghu County.


Dongjiyu-In search of the forgotten island


As the sun sets, the peaceful bay is mesmerizing



Dongjiyu is a small island full of stories. Once it was prosperous for a while, it was called "Little Shanghai", but now it is bustling and it is a "forgotten place"-there are more than 20 people who don't want to leave the island. Old man. It also allows Dongjiyu to retain more natural ecology, the spring and summer seas are crystal clear, and the endless wilderness is like the wilderness in the movie; autumn and winter sheep flocks strolling on the brown grassland. At night, a cliff-top lighthouse stands on the island, guiding the direction of ships in the Heishuigou waters. Lucky enough, I can still see the meteor shower!


Transportation: The information that the editor has checked is that there is no public transportation to reach the island, but you can charter a boat on the main island of Penghu.


How to get to Penghu from the main island of Taiwan:


By plane: There are regular flights to Penghu every day from Taipei Songshan, Kaohsiung Xiaogang or Taichung Qingquangang. The flight time is about 45 minutes. The peak season is from June to September every year. Because of the small number of seats and many tourists, almost the class is full , Be sure to book your tickets early! Also, due to typhoons in summer, you must first confirm with the airline before departure.


By boat: If you want to take a boat to Penghu, the sailing time from Kaohsiung is about 4 hours; from Chiayi, the sailing time is about 80 to 90 minutes. The fare is relatively cheap but it takes a lot of sailing time.


Transportation boat to Penghu







Hospitable outlying islanders, public security is also good I often hear that "the most beautiful scenery in Taiwan is people", and you will experience a lot of human touch in the outlying islands. You will also find that the locals on the outlying islands do not have their cars locked or the doors of their houses closed, so there is no need to worry about traveling alone.
