Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are within a 20-minute drive of the homestay. First, the Magong Old City is just 10 minutes away by car, where you can wander narrow stone alleyways, visit the centuries-old Tianhou Temple, and sample Penghu’s famous black pepper cake and seaweed oyster omelets at street-side stalls. Second, Shanshui Beach—one of Penghu’s most beloved soft white-sand beaches—is 15 minutes from the homestay, with gentle turquoise waters perfect for swimming and sunset walks along the shore. Third, the iconic Double Heart Stone Weir on Qimei Island is an hour’s ferry ride from Magong Harbor; this centuries-old traditional fishing weir shaped like two overlapping hearts is one of the most photographed spots in Penghu, especially at high tide when the blue water frames the limestone structure perfectly.

Travel Tips

Book your parking spot in advance if you’re renting a car, as spaces are limited. Pack sunscreen and a hat—Penghu’s sun is strong year-round, even in winter. If you plan to bring your pet, notify the homestay at the time of booking to avoid any check-in issues. Summer (June to August) is peak season for beach activities, but book your room at least two to three months in advance to secure your stay, especially for holiday weekends. For a truly local experience, ask your host to recommend the hidden, less crowded coves and fresh seafood restaurants that only locals know about.
