Qimei Twin Heart Stone Weirs Introduction
The Shuangxin Stone Weir is a unique cultural landscape in Penghu and a testament to the wisdom of its ancestors. The ancient inhabitants constructed fishing stone walls using basalt and coral reefs in the intertidal zone, taking advantage of the tidal differences to trap fish within the walls. This traditional fishing trap method reflects the interdependent lifestyle of the people of Penghu and the sea. The Shuangxin Stone Weir, named for its two heart-shaped stone weirs, is located at Dingxi Village in Qimei Township and is also known as "Dingxi Weir." The heart-shaped configuration, viewed from above, creates a romantic image of two intertwined hearts. It is one of the most well-preserved stone weirs in the Penghu area. It is advisable to check the daily tide schedule to fully appreciate the heart shape of the Shuangxin Stone Weir. Recommended stay duration: 0.5 hours.
