Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots sit within a 20-minute drive of the homestay: First, Shanshui Beach (10 minutes south) is a postcard-perfect stretch of golden sand famous for its gentle turquoise waters, ideal for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and leisurely beach walks at low tide. Second, Penghu Great Bridge (15 minutes north) connects Magong Island to Xiyu Island, and the scenic causeway offers sweeping views of the archipelago’s rocky coastlines, with pull-offs perfect for photos at sunset. Third, Central Street Old District (12 minutes east) in downtown Magong is Penghu’s oldest street, lined with century-old temples, street food stalls selling famous cactus ice cream and seafood oden, and charming boutique shops selling local handicrafts.

Travel Tips

Since Penghu’s peak season runs from May to September, book your stay at least one month in advance to secure a sea-view balcony room. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for exploring rocky intertidal zones near the homestay, as the sharp volcanic rock can hurt bare feet. The homestay only accepts Mandarin-speaking communication, so save a translation app if you don’t speak Chinese, and confirm your check-in time 48 hours in advance to avoid any delays. If you plan to island hop around Penghu’s 90+ islets, the homestay can help book boat tours directly from nearby Magong Harbor.
