Qimei Ren Temple Introduction
Qimei Ren Tomb is located in Nangang Village, Qimei Township, Penghu. By walking towards the southeast to Nanhuharbor, you can see the legendary Qimei Ren Tomb. There are two stone tablets, which are currently the only two remaining, positioned in front of and behind the Fragrant Flower Tree. The inscriptions on them have become blurred and unreadable over time. According to legend, bandits once landed on Qimei from the nearby coast, burning, killing, and looting in the village. The seven women in the village, unwilling to suffer humiliation at the hands of the bandits, chose to commit suicide by jumping into a well together. In memory of these seven virtuous women, the villagers filled the well with soil. Shortly thereafter, a Fragrant Flower Tree grew beside the well, exuding a very pleasant fragrance. Thus, they erected a monument to commemorate them. For over four hundred years, the Fragrant Flower Tree beside Qimei Ren Tomb has continued to emit its fragrance and blooms every year, leading the local residents to sincerely worship Qimei Ren Tomb. It is said that this is the origin of the place name Qimei. In the Penghu area, there is a belief in "Hua Niang," referring to unmarried women as "Hua Niang." It is said that the seven girls of Qimei Ren Tomb were all Hua Niang. Therefore, if a man exhibits frivolous behavior at Qimei Ren Tomb, he will be punished by these seven Hua Niang! 【Recommended stay time】 0.5 hours
