Magong Guanyin Pavilion & Xiying Rainbow Bridge
觀音亭
An old Guanyin temple and seaside park by Magong Harbor. The nearby Xiying Rainbow Bridge is the main venue of the summer Penghu International Sea Fireworks Festival.
Guanyin Pavilion was first built in the Kangxi reign of the Qing dynasty. It is a long-established Buddhist temple in Penghu and a county-designated historic site. The Guanyin Pavilion leisure park beside the temple is built along the coast, with paths, lawns, and a beach where locals take evening walks and watch the sunset. The Xiying Rainbow Bridge, which spans the bay, lights up with colored lights at night, and from April to June each year it serves as the main venue of the Penghu International Sea Fireworks Festival. Admission is free. It is about 10 to 15 minutes' walk from downtown Magong, and on summer evenings you can stand by the seawall in the breeze and watch the sunset.
