Niau Yu Introduction
Bird Island, located in Baisha Township, has a population density second only to Jibei Island. The residents mainly rely on fishing for their livelihood, showcasing typical Penghu fishing village life. Next to the Bird Island Fishing Port, visitors can enjoy a 180-degree unobstructed view of the natural sea landscape. On the eastern coast of Bird Island, there are towering basalt columns, and due to the effects of the northeastern monsoon and seawater erosion, one can see onion-shaped weathering formations of basalt with reddish gravel. The lowest layer consists of volcanic gravel, creating a magnificent and beautiful landscape. The basalt in the eastern part of the island presents a forest of columns, exhibiting a distinctly different appearance compared to the northern coast. During low tide, a unique phenomenon occurs where the back mountain of Bird Island connects with the southern hanging island, forming the "dried sea" scenery, where the seabed becomes visible. The area of Bird Island varies significantly between high and low tides, expanding from 0.265 square kilometers at high tide to 1.098 square kilometers at low tide, connecting with the southern hanging island to the north. From the eastern end of the island to the southern hanging island in the north, west of Xiaobai Sha Island, and down to the south of Quzhu Island, is a vast sea erosion platform, with typical fringing reefs developed along its edges. Pengpeng Beach is located southwest of Bird Island, forming a new sandbar in the waters north of Yuanbei Island, approximately 1,000 meters long, and is one of the most famous scenic spots in Penghu. 【Recommended Stay Duration】 3 hours or overnight.
