Introduction

Tucked away on Penghu’s main island of Magong, Jing 66 B&B (井66民宿) offers a quiet, sun-drenched escape from the crowded tourist hubs of Penghu. Far from the bustle of downtown Magong’s port area, this cozy homestay sits in the laid-back coastal neighborhood of Jimuwo, where sea breezes drift through quiet residential lanes and sunset views over the Taiwan Strait are just a short walk away. Ideal for slow travelers, couples, and small groups looking to experience Penghu beyond its postcard-perfect beaches, Jing 66 blends homey comfort with easy access to the region’s best natural and cultural attractions.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are within a 20-minute drive of the B&B. First, the iconic Magong Old City, just 10 minutes away, is home to the centuries-old Magong Mazu Temple, one of Taiwan’s oldest Mazu temples, with intricate wood carvings and a vibrant atmosphere surrounded by traditional street food stalls. Second, the stunning Shanshui Beach, 15 minutes from the B&B, boasts soft golden sand and crystal-clear shallow waters perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and watching bioluminescent blue tears during summer nights. Third, the Cimei Island ferry terminal is 12 minutes away in Magong Port; a short 30-minute ferry ride takes you to Cimei, famous for its iconic twin sandbars and the dramatic Qimei Salt Pan, where you can walk across vast white salt flats at low tide.

Travel Tips

Renting a scooter or car is essential for getting around Penghu, and the B&B’s free parking makes this incredibly convenient. Book your stay at least two months in advance during peak summer travel season (June to August), when Penghu’s warm weather draws visitors from across Taiwan. Don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and water shoes for exploring rocky coastlines. Try the local roadside oyster omelets and cactus ice cream within walking distance of the B&B for an authentic Penghu snack experience.
