Qimei - White Horse Park Introduction
Baimahu Park, also known as Bai Ma Po, is located on the road to Dingxi Scenic Area. Riding a bike from the northern part of Little Taiwan, you can see a park on the right side past the Shuangxin Stone Fish Trap. The most eye-catching feature is a large red ball (Red Dragon Ball) near the roadside. The geographical environment around Baimahu Park is barren, with little vegetation, and the ground shows traces of erosion caused by flowing water. The coastal area is a gravel beach. Some areas of Baimahu Park have not supported any vegetation for years, hence it is also referred to as "Little Moon World." Here, there is a feng shui wall that extends into a walkway resembling a bridge, leading to a massive red dragon ball, a statue of a white horse wrapped in red cloth, and a gourd. This white horse statue serves as a stone guardian protecting the vital water sources of Qimei Township, and there is an altar next to it for its ritual times. The large red dragon ball is used to block drainage, holding the feng shui significance of taming water and securing wealth. In the park, small grasses occasionally serve as a habitat for the half-day bird (the bird of Penghu County). Crossing the road, you can see a badland with holes and signs of water erosion, and the distant high point of Jinlong Pagoda. Baimahu Park is often visited by wandering sheep, and there is a pavilion nearby where you can sit and listen to the music of nature created by the waves crashing against the shore. [Recommended stay time] 1 hour.
