Bird Island Introduction
Bird Island (Niao Yu) has a population density second only to Jibei Island, with most residents relying on fishing for their livelihood, showcasing typical Penghu fishing village life. Located near Bird Island Fishing Port, visitors can enjoy a 180-degree unobstructed view of the natural seascape. On the eastern coast of Bird Island, basalt columns rise dramatically, and to the north, due to the effects of the northeast monsoon and seawater erosion, one can see the onion-like weathering of the basalt and red gravel, with volcanic breccia at the base, creating a magnificent and beautiful landscape. The eastern part of the island features upright basalt columns, presenting a starkly different appearance from the northern shore. During low tide, a place on the back mountain of Bird Island connects to the southern Guanyin Island, forming a unique sight known as "sea dry," where the ocean floor is visible. The area of Bird Island varies greatly between high and low tides, measuring 0.265 square kilometers at high tide and expanding to 1.098 square kilometers during low tide, connecting with the southern Guanyin Island to the north. From the eastern end of the island to the south of Guanyin Island and the west of Xiaobai Sand Island, extending south to Quzhu Island, there is a vast wave-cut platform, with well-developed fringing reefs along its edges. Pengpeng Beach is located southwest of Bird Island, in the waters north of Yuanbei Island, featuring a newly formed sandbank about one thousand meters long, making it one of the most famous attractions in Penghu. 【Recommended Stay Duration】 3 hours or overnight.
