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 a painted oil barrel at the second fishing port and is an artificial landscape promoted by the county government in recent years. Originally, it served as a fuel supply facility for fishing boats at the second fishing port, but it has been painted with well-known attractions of Penghu. When illuminated at night, it becomes a beautiful sight and a popular spot for tourists to take photos and for couples to stroll. The side of the oil barrel facing the sea has the words "HI, PENGHU" written on it. This location is also a departure point for night squid fishing trips. Next to the painted oil barrel, there is a wooden walkway and a pavilion for seating. Close to the ice factory adorned with artistic mural walls is the outdoor leisure corridor of the first fishing port. This area was developed in collaboration between the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the Penghu County Government. It uses solar energy to reduce carbon emissions, ensuring that the fishing port remains both environmentally friendly and leisurely, showcasing the elegance of the fishing port lifestyle. Walking along the fishing port near the painted oil barrel, visitors can see the "Star of Chiu Island", a large shopping plaza shaped like a ship, offering fresh seafood and various processed seafood products, along with a dining area to taste fresh seafood, featuring unique architecture and well-equipped facilities. On the other side, a prominent sculpture titled "Mother of the Ocean" stands at the first fishing port, with an infinity-shaped design filled with fish and wave lines, symbolizing the endless supply of fish and marine resources. This area connects together, allowing for a pleasant stroll by the sea breeze along the Fisherman's Wharf and the Star of Chiu Island to enjoy the night scenery of the fishing port. To promote the gradual transformation of Magong's first fishing port into a recreational and tourist harbor, diversifying its leisure and recreational functions, attracting international tourists to Magong, and boosting the commercial and economic development of the surrounding port area, the Agogo Yacht Club signed a transfer operation agreement with the Penghu County Government in May 2016 to invest in the construction of the "Penghu Agogo Yacht Harbor." It aims to make this place a highlight of Magong's tourism, creating a magnetic effect and shaping Penghu into a unique image of the world's most beautiful bay. With the arrival of the Agogo Yacht Group, the Fisherman's Wharf has been revitalized, and the painted mailbox is even more vibrant and lively surrounded by yachts. Tourists now have more choices for exploring Penghu, and the new yacht tourism development, combined with the natural terrain and ocean advantages of Penghu, has created a refreshing and more internationalized leisure travel culture in Penghu. 【Recommended Stay Duration】 0.5 hours
