Far from the crowded tourist hubs of central Magong, this cozy boutique homestay offers the perfect base for travelers craving slow Penghu island days, with easy access to the county’s most iconic beaches and outdoor adventures.

Hotel Overview

Located at No. 221-18, Xiwei Village, Magong City, Aienju checks every box for a comfortable Penghu stay. All rooms are soundproofed, smoke-free, and fitted with air conditioning, plus extra-length beds (over 2 meters) for a restful night’s sleep after a day in the sun. Every room comes with complimentary tea and coffee making facilities, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, free WiFi, and a full private bathroom stocked with toiletries, a hairdryer, and slippers.

The homestay’s standout feature is its beachfront location, with a sunlit terrace (available for a small additional fee) and barbecue facilities perfect for sunset cookouts with fresh local seafood. On-site services include daily housekeeping, private check-in/out, luggage storage, expert local tourism advice, rental coordination, and laundry service, and both English and Chinese are spoken to accommodate international guests. Activities can be arranged directly through the homestay, including off-site snorkeling, diving, and windsurfing, all for an additional fee. Note that there is no on-site parking, so guests renting scooters (the most popular way to get around Penghu) will find easy street parking nearby.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are just a short ride from the homestay:

• Xiwei Beach: A 5-minute walk from Aienju, this quiet golden-sand beach is famous for its gentle, crystal-clear waters and soft sand ideal for morning walks or casual swimming. Unlike busier Penghu beaches, it rarely feels crowded, making it perfect for family picnics.
• Penghu Great Bridge: A 10-minute drive from the homestay, this iconic 2-kilometer bridge connects Magong Island to Xiyu Island. Stop at the midpoint lookout for sweeping views of the Penghu Strait, especially at sunset when the sky turns pink and orange over the water.
• Qimei Island: A 45-minute ferry ride from Magong Harbor (a 10-minute drive from the homestay), this postcard-perfect small island is home to the famous Double Heart Stone Weir, a centuries-old traditional fishing structure that looks like two interlocking hearts from above. Wander the coastal paths and sample fresh cactus ice cream at local stalls.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance during peak season (June to August), as the homestay’s limited rooms fill up quickly. Since Penghu’s weather is most pleasant from spring to early autumn, pack light, breathable clothing, reef-safe sunscreen, and water shoes for rocky shore exploration. If you plan to explore the island, book a scooter or car rental directly through the homestay for a discounted rate, and always lock up your vehicle in designated areas. For an unforgettable evening, pre-book the terrace barbecue—ask the homestay staff to help you source fresh catch from the local morning fish market for a truly authentic Penghu meal.
