Penghu Aquarium was formerly known as the Penghu Fisheries Experimental Station. Construction began in 1993 and was completed after four years, opening to the public for ticketed visits in April 1998. At that time, it was the first aquarium in the country to combine diverse functions such as technological research, social education, and tourism and recreation. It was also the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia at that time.

Penghu Aquarium Introduction

The two-story building of the Penghu Aquarium, constructed with gray-white walls and greenish-blue roof tiles, is located in Qitou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu. It has been expanded from the original Fisheries Experimental Station. Inside the aquarium, there are various display areas, including coastal ecology, a reef tank, and an ocean tank ecology, among which the most notable feature is the 14-meter-long arched underwater tunnel, allowing visitors to walk through and admire various marine life. Directly opposite the aquarium's main entrance is a straight wave-shaped breakwater extending into the Taiwan Strait, originally established as a breeding ground by a Japanese pearl farming company. Due to the unique wave shape of the breakwater, it attracts many tourists for photography. However, to get good photos with the azure sea in the background, be sure to check the tide schedule and choose the right time during high tide, or else you may find only a muddy tidal flat underfoot! On the east side of the aquarium, there is Qitou Waterfront Park, designed with tidal differences, which includes a tide pool walking area, a circular splash pool, and children's play facilities, allowing both adults and children to observe intertidal organisms and learn about tidal action, creating a recreational area that combines education with entertainment.
