Painted Oil Drums (Fisherman's Wharf) Introduction
Penghu Fisherman's Wharf is located in the first and second fishing port area of Magong City, Penghu County. It features colorful painted oil barrels at the second fishing port, which is an artificial landscape promoted by the county government in recent years. Originally used for the supply of fishing vessel fuel, these oil tanks have been transformed by colorful paintings depicting famous attractions in Penghu, and when illuminated at night, they become stunningly beautiful, making it a favored spot for tourists to take pictures and for couples to stroll. The side of the oil barrel facing the sea has the words "HI, PENGHU" written on it. This location also serves as a departure point for night fishing trips for squid. Next to the painted oil barrels, there are wooden boardwalks and pavilions to sit in, and near the ice factory adorned with artistic murals is the outdoor leisure corridor of the first fishing port, created in collaboration between the Bureau of Energy and the Penghu County Government using solar energy to reduce carbon emissions, making the fishing port both eco-friendly and leisurely, showcasing an elegant slow life. Walking along the harbor near the painted oil barrels leads to Juidong Island Star, a large shopping plaza designed to resemble a ship that offers fresh seafood from the ocean, a variety of seafood processed products, and a dining area to taste fresh seafood, featuring unique design and well-equipped facilities. On the other side, a prominent sculpture titled "Mother of the Ocean" stands in the first fishing port, with its infinity shape filled with lines of fish and waves, symbolizing the endless abundance of fish and marine resources in the harbor. This area forms a connected pathway, where visitors can enjoy the sea breeze and admire the night view of the fishing port along the Fisherman’s Wharf and the Juidong Island Star during evening strolls. In order to gradually transform Magong’s first fishing port into a tourism and recreational harbor with diverse leisure functions, the government aims to attract international tourists, boost the commercial and economic prosperity around the harbor area. In May 2016, the A-go Yacht Club signed a reconstruction and operation transfer agreement with the Penghu County Government to invest in the construction of the "Penghu A-go Yacht Marina," hoping to make this place a highlight of tourism in Magong and create a magnetic effect, shaping Penghu into a unique image as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. After the A-go Yacht Group settled in Penghu, the Fisherman’s Wharf took on a new appearance, with the painted oil barrels becoming even livelier and more vibrant surrounded by yachts. Tourists now have more options to explore Penghu, with the new yacht tourism development complementing Penghu's natural landscape and marine advantages, creating a refreshing and more international leisure tourism culture in Penghu. 【Recommended stay time】 0.5 hours
