Qimei People Mound Introduction
Qimei Renqing is located in Nangang Village, Qimei Township, Penghu. If you walk toward the southeast to Nanhuharbor, you will see the legendary Qimei Renqing. There are two stone tablets at Qimei Renqing, which are the only two existing today, standing in front of and behind a fragrant tree, but the inscriptions have faded and are unreadable due to the passage of time. There is a legend about Qimei Renqing, which tells that in the past, bandits landed from the nearby coast to plunder and commit atrocities in the village. Seven women in the village, unwilling to be insulted by the bandits, committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well together. To commemorate these seven virtuous women, the villagers filled in the well, and soon a fragrant tree grew nearby, exuding a delightful aroma. Therefore, they erected a tablet in memory of them. For over four hundred years, the fragrant tree beside Qimei Renqing has continued to emit its fragrance and blooms every year, leading the local residents to pay their sincere homage to Qimei Renqing. It is said that this is the origin of the 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 at Qimei Renqing are all Hua Niang, so if men behave frivolously at Qimei Renqing, they will be punished by these seven Hua Niang! 【Recommended Duration】 0.5 hours.
