Jiangjun Island Introduction
Jiangjun Island is primarily composed of siliceous basalt, with a flat surface, characteristic of typical basaltic table mountains. It is only one nautical mile away from Wang'an Island, with a travel time of about 5 minutes. In the early years, it prospered by collecting coral and limestone, leading to a street filled with small houses in the fishing port, earning it the nickname "Little Hong Kong." This island is also one of the few areas in Penghu where buildings started to be constructed early on, resulting in many two-, three-, and four-story houses, as well as numerous narrow alleys with old houses and traditional grocery stores. Nowadays, most residents depend on fishing for their livelihood, with the portside showcasing an old fishing village ambiance. The breathtaking coral reefs and underwater ecology of the Penghu waters have been preserved due to the care and love of the locals. The island features four major temples: Jiangjun Temple, Yong'an Palace, Tianhou Temple, and Jiangjun Chapel. Among them, Tianhou Temple was built with donations from the islanders and holds the record for the most money spent, the most banquets hosted, and the shortest construction time in Penghu. Here, you can witness exquisite stone carving craftsmanship. Circumnavigating Jiangjun Island, one can have a distant view of the "Sail Island" on the adjacent land-linked island, which is a basalt outcrop about 25 meters high. A pavilion is set up on top, offering a place to relax and unwind, and this land-linked island is also an important gathering spot for sea fishermen. [Recommended stay time] 2 hours or overnight.
