Kong Jin Island (Kong Jin Yu) Introduction
Jiangjun Island is primarily composed of siliceous basalt, characterized by a flat surface, making it a typical basaltic island. It is only one nautical mile away from Wangan Island, with a sailing time of about 5 minutes. In the past, the island thrived and prospered due to the collection of coral and limestone, with small buildings lining the fishing port streets, earning it the nickname "Little Hong Kong." This island is also one of the few areas in Penghu that began constructing buildings early on, hence there are many houses with two, three, and four floors, along with a significant number of narrow alleyways and traditional shops. Currently, the residents mainly rely on fishing for their livelihood, and the charming old fishing village atmosphere by the low-lying port, along with the stunning corals and underwater ecology of the Penghu waters, has been preserved due to careful protection. There are four major temples on the island: Jiangjun Temple, Yong'an Temple, Tianhou Temple, and Jiangjun Chapel. Among them, Tianhou Temple was built with donations from the islanders and set records in Penghu for the highest expenditure, the most lavish banquets, and the shortest construction time. Here, you can also see exquisite stone carving art. Circling around Jiangjun Island, you can gaze at the nearby island, "Chuanfan Island," which is a basalt formation about 25 meters high. A pavilion is set atop where you can relax and unwind; this mainland island is also an important gathering place for sea fishing enthusiasts. 【Suggested stay duration】 2 hours or overnight.
