Illustrative →Nanliao Old Houses
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. Among the old houses you will find sea-turtle murals, Three-Character-Classic photo walls, and little pavilions - ideal for family outings and photography lovers. The site is free with no fixed hours; morning or evening visits help avoid crowds.

Illustrative →Jibe Island
Ji-Bei Island is one of Penghu's most popular family spots. Travelers take a boat from the North Sea Visitor Center (Chi-Kan Pier), then rent a scooter to circle the island - only 20-30 minutes around - along beautiful coastline views. The signature activity is intertidal exploration: catching fish at stone weirs, grabbing crabs, scooping sea cucumbers, and digging oysters to eat on the spot, all loved by kids and adults. Sha-Wei Beach, with its fine white shell sand, is celebrated as a Taiwan-version Maldives bay, great for photos and water fun. Tickets and scooter rentals can be booked through platforms like KKday for a smooth trip.

Kui-Bi Mountain in Hu-Xi, Penghu, is a natural spot famed for its tidal spectacle. At low tide, an S-shaped gravel path about three hundred meters long emerges between Bei-Liao's Kui-Bi Mountain and Chi-Yu islet, evoking Moses parting the sea and drawing families to snap photos. Viewed from afar, the slope resembles a giant resting turtle - the source of its old name 'Gui-Bi Mountain' (Turtle-Wall Mountain). Travelers should check the tide chart before going to catch the red-and-green path woven with blue sea after the water recedes.
