Penghu Living Museum
澎湖生活博物館
A county museum introducing Penghu's ocean life, fishing, and settlement culture. It is a good place to go on rainy days or during the hot afternoon.
Penghu Living Museum lies on the east side of downtown Magong and is themed around “ocean,” “islands,” and “life.” It displays fishing gear used by Penghu's early settlers, models of shihu (stone fish traps), traditional settlements and religious customs, and the history of Penghu's development. Visitors can learn where distinctive local landscapes such as shihu and caizhai (walled vegetable gardens) come from before heading out to sea. The museum also hosts special exhibitions and handicraft activities. Admission is inexpensive (check on site), and the museum is generally closed on Tuesdays. Strong summer afternoon sun makes an indoor visit a good choice.
Opening hours
