Illustrative Nan-Liao Old Village in Hu-Xi Township's Nan-Liao Village is a well-preserved traditional farming-and-fishing settlement. The old houses and low stone walls are mostly built from 'gu-lao' coral-limestone, showing Penghu's way of life. In recent years residents have repurposed fishing floats by repainting them into a colorful 'Float Secret Realm' that has become an Instagrammer favorite.
