Qimei Double Heart Stone Weir Introduction
The stone fish traps, known as "Shuangxin Stone Trap," are a unique cultural landscape in Penghu and represent the wisdom of the early Penghu inhabitants. The traps were constructed using basalt and coral reefs in the intertidal zone to catch fish by utilizing the tidal difference. This traditional fishing method illustrates the interdependent relationship between the people of Penghu and the sea. The Shuangxin Stone Trap gets its name from its two heart-shaped structures. Located at the Dingxi District of Qimei Township in Penghu, it is also referred to as "Dingxi Trap." From a high vantage point, the two stone traps connect at both ends, forming a romantic image of two interconnected hearts. It is one of the best-preserved stone traps in the Penghu area. To fully appreciate the heart shape of the Shuangxin Stone Trap, it is advisable to check the daily low tide schedule before visiting. Suggested visiting time: 0.5 hours.
