Stone Weir is a unique cultural landscape in Penghu and a testament to the wisdom of the island's ancestors. The ancestors built fish-catching stone walls using basalt and coral reefs in the intertidal zone, utilizing the tidal differences to trap fish within the walls. This traditional fishing method showcases the traces of the symbiotic relationship between the people of Penghu and the sea. The Shuangxin Stone Weir, named for its two heart-shaped stone weirs, is particularly famous.
