Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions lie within a 15-minute drive of the homestay:

• Qimei Double-Heart Stacked Stone Weir: Penghu’s most iconic landmark, this centuries-old traditional fishing weir is carved into the tidal flat in the shape of two overlapping hearts.

• Mauo Fishing Port: A working fishing port 10 minutes from the homestay, where you can watch local fishermen unload their daily catch, sample fresh grilled squid and fried fish balls from street vendors, and catch a sunset that paints the sky in shades of pink and orange.
