About Penghu
Magong’s old streets and Tianhou Temple provide a cultural starting point. The cross-sea bridge between Baisha and Xiyu makes a different outing, with open-water views and reminders of the islands’ changing transport links.
Begin with Magong, then choose a main-island road trip or a separate offshore excursion. Wang’an and Qimei require their own transport decisions. Wind and sea conditions matter more to this plan than the apparent closeness of islands on a map.
What to look for
- Magong’s Tianhou Temple connects the town with maritime worship.
- The Baisha–Xiyu bridge links two islands across a strong tidal channel.
- Offshore islands offer separate excursions requiring confirmed transport.
Location & getting there
Getting to Penghu
For the main islands, use Penghu Airport or your booked arrival at Magong harbour, then continue to the actual accommodation or attraction. Offshore ferries leave from specific terminals; confirm which one serves your chosen island rather than using a general harbour pin.
