Shuncheng Gate (Magong Old City Wall)
順承門
The only surviving gate and wall section of the Magong city walls, built in the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty. It is a historic site designated by Taiwan, and you can walk through the gate arch and take photos.
Shuncheng Gate is the little west gate of Magong City, built in 1887 (the 13th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing dynasty). Most of the city walls were demolished during the Japanese occupation period, leaving only Shuncheng Gate and a section of wall. Taiwan has designated it a historic site, “Magong Old City, Magong City, Penghu County.” The gate is built of basalt and laogu stone (coral rock). You can walk through the arch, and from the top of the wall you can look out over Magong Harbor. Nearby alleys hold Duxing 10th Village, the Shi Gong Ancestral Hall, and Wanjun Well. Admission is free, the site is open all day, and it is about a 10-minute walk from Tianhou Temple.
