Welcome to the Hawaii of Formosa

Penghu

A Pasture in The Sea

• Fishing is the main source of income of the inhabitants of the islands.

• The village streets and courtyards are lined with large basket-trays filled with shrimp, small fish, and squid, set in the blazing heat of the sun to dry.

Happy Farming Life

• The women wear cloth veils to protect themselves from hot sunrays and winds.

• Almost every households built a small wall with special stones named 咾咕石 to protect the crops from the winds that sweep the island.

• People in Penghu once said “If you want to get marry, you have to carry 咾咕石 on the shoulder for three years.”

In the past, ancestors used their hands to reclaim land build roads. Now, inhabitants in Penghu use their hands to carry out their ideals and ensure their children of a bright future.
