Penghu Aquarium was originally the Penghu Fisheries Experimental Station. Construction began in 1993 and was completed four years later, opening to the public in April 1998. It was the first aquarium in Taiwan to integrate various functions such as technology research, social education, and tourism, and it was also the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia at that time.

Penghu Aquarium Introduction

The two-story building of the Penghu Aquarium, built with grayish-white walls and green-tiled roofs, is located in Qitou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu. It was expanded from the original Fisheries Research Institute. The aquarium features various exhibition areas including coastal ecology, a rocky pool, and an ocean pool ecology. The most notable attraction is the 14-meter long arched underwater tunnel, where visitors can stroll through and admire various marine life. Directly across from the aquarium entrance, there is a wave-shaped breakwater extending into the Taiwan Strait, originally built as a breeding ground by a Japanese pearl cultivation company. Its unique wave shape attracts many visitors for photography. However, to take photos in the blue sea, remember to check the tide schedule and choose the right time during high tide, otherwise, you will only find wet mudflats beneath your feet! On the east side of the aquarium, there is the Qitou Waterfront Park designed with tidal differences, featuring a tide pool, an intertidal area for walking, and children's play facilities, allowing adults and children to observe intertidal organisms and understand tidal effects. It's an educational and recreational area.
