Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are all within a 15-minute drive of the homestay:

• Magong Old City: Just a 10-minute drive from the homestay, this historic district is home to Penghu’s oldest Mazu Temple, dating back to the 16th century. Wander winding alleyways lined with traditional salted fish shops and handmade peanut brittle stores, and stop for a bowl of Penghu’s famous seafood noodles at a local street stall.
• Penghu Great Bridge: A 12-minute drive away connects Magong Island to Xiyu Island, this 2.5-kilometer causeway offers postcard-perfect views of Penghu’s blue-green waters. Stop at the midpoint lookout to watch crashing waves against volcanic rock formations, especially at sunset.
• Shanshui Beach: A 15-minute drive from the homestay, this soft golden sand beach is famous for its calm, shallow waters perfect for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding. It’s also one of Penghu’s most popular spots to watch bioluminescent blue tears glow in the water between April and September.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance during peak season (June to August) to secure a family room, as the homestay fills up quickly with travelers chasing Penghu’s summer sun. Renting a scooter from the homestay is cheaper than arranging it at the airport and gives you the flexibility to stop at hidden coves and roadside snack stands along the coast. If you’re visiting to see blue tears, ask the staff for their recommendations for the most reliable viewing spots, as they know which bays have the strongest blooms on any given week.
