Penghu Aquarium Introduction
The two-story building, constructed with gray-white walls and green roofs, is the Penghu Aquarium, located in Qitou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu. It was expanded from the original Fisheries Research Institute. Inside, there are exhibits featuring coastal ecology, rock pools, and oceanic ecology, with the most notable being the 14-meter-long arched underwater tunnel, where you can walk through and admire various marine life. Directly opposite the aquarium's main entrance is a straight wave-breaker extending into the Taiwan Strait, originally built by a Japanese pearl farming company. Its unique wavy shape attracts many tourists who come to take photos. However, if you want to take pictures in the clear blue waters, be sure to check the tide schedule and choose the right time during high tide, or you will only encounter a wet muddy shore! On the east side of the aquarium, there is also a tidal park designed with tidal differences called Qitou Waterfront Park, which features a tidal flat walking area, a circular splash pool, and children's play facilities, allowing both adults and children to observe intertidal organisms and understand tidal effects, making it an educational and recreational area.
