Wang'an Zhongshe Old House Introduction
The Zhongsha Old House, located in Zhongsha Village, Wang'an Township, Penghu, used to have more than a hundred Min Nan architectural garden houses that reflect the prosperity and flourishing of the past. Walking along the streets, one can see traditional Min-style architecture, daughter windows, cat holes, and stone fan shells. The Zhongsha Old House was originally named "Huazhai," and at its center is a small hill, which the residents refer to as "Huaxin," meaning the heart of Huazhai. "Huazhai" first appeared in the "Taiwan Provincial Chronicle" in 1695 by the name of the harbor. It was named "Huazhai" because the terrain resembles a flower; when viewed from the open sea, the hills surround it like petals encircling the flower center, hence the name given by the ancestors. The old house cluster of Zhongsha Village (traditional Min Nan settlement) has been listed as one of the one hundred sites at risk of extinction and has officially been registered as a "preservation area for old houses" by the Cultural Heritage Preservation Committee. Due to the dense cluster of old houses in Zhongsha Village, it exudes a rich cultural atmosphere, often evoking nostalgia in visitors. In recent years, it has become a media favorite for filming movies (such as "The Way Home") and advertisements (like Black Coffee), making it a must-visit spot for travelers in Penghu. 【Recommended stay time】 1.5 hours.
