Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are all within easy reach of Lu Inn Homestay. First, the iconic Magong Old City, just a 10-minute drive away, is home to the centuries-old Tianhou Temple, one of Taiwan’s oldest Mazu temples, lined with traditional alleyways serving Penghu’s famous fried milk and cactus ice cream. Second, Xiying Rainbow Bridge, a 5-minute scooter ride from the homestay, is a scenic pedestrian bridge that arcs over a turquoise inlet, glowing with soft lights at sunset and offering postcard-perfect views of the Penghu coast. Third, the white sand beaches of Shanshuei, a 15-minute drive away, are Penghu’s top spot for swimming and water sports, with shallow calm waters perfect for families.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance during peak summer season (June to August), when Penghu’s warm weather draws crowds of beachgoers. Rent a scooter to explore the area—parking is easy near most attractions, and the homestay can arrange rental for you. Don’t miss the chance to try the homemade breakfast here, and pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to join the off-site snorkeling or diving trips arranged by the property. Note that upper floors are only accessible by stairs, so travelers with mobility issues should request a first-floor room when booking.
