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 was expanded from the original Fisheries Research Institute. The aquarium features exhibition areas showcasing coastal ecology, rock pools, and ocean ecological displays. The most notable attraction is the 14-meter-long arched underwater tunnel, where visitors can walk through and admire various marine life. Directly across from the aquarium’s entrance is a straight wave breakwater extending out to the Taiwan Strait, originally built by a Japanese pearl farming company. The unique wavy shape of the breakwater attracts many tourists who come to take photos. If you want to capture pictures in the blue seawater, remember to check the tidal times and visit during high tide; otherwise, you will find only a wet muddy shore beneath your feet! On the east side of the aquarium, there is Qitou Water Park, designed with tidal differences. It includes an intertidal walking area, a circular splash pool, and children's play facilities, allowing both adults and children to observe intertidal creatures and understand tidal effects, making it an educational and recreational area.
