Travel Tips

Penghu’s peak tourist season runs from May to September, when the weather is warm and seas are calm for water activities—book your stay at least two months in advance during this period, especially if you’re traveling with a pet. If you plan to bring your dog or cat, confirm the pet fee with the homestay before arrival. Since the homestay offers rental service, book your scooter or car directly through the front desk when you check in for a discounted local rate. Finally, don’t miss the evening stroll around nearby Houkutang Fishing Port, just a 10-minute walk from the homestay, where you can sample fresh grilled squid from local vendors and watch the fishing boats return at
