Jibei Museum Introduction
At the southern pier bay of Jibei Island, the "Jibei Stone Weir Cultural Center" has been established to preserve the traditional stone weir culture. It is located on the east side of the Jibei Visitor Service Center and serves as a community cultural center as well as an alternative museum. The center was founded to consolidate the stone weir culture of Jibei Island and promote its ecology and landscape. Stone weirs are a characteristic of coral reef fishing culture, scattered throughout the Penghu archipelago. The types of stone weirs are generally similar, typically consisting of a "weir house" for gathering fish and "stretching limbs" on both sides, designed with a "curled tail" shape based on the swimming habits of fish, allowing fish to swim in but not out. This reflects the wisdom of the ancestors in fishing. Covering an area of approximately thirty ping, the center currently features both static displays and multimedia video presentations. The exhibits include more than one hundred types of agricultural, fishing, and pastoral tools necessary for early village life, such as stone mills, various jars, and electric oil lamps. There are model figures of fishing patrol personnel and textile prints along the walkway, while the exhibition room showcases the structure, construction, and fishing methods of stone weirs, among other features. Guided tours are available every hour, enhancing visitors' understanding and knowledge of traditional stone weir fishing. [Recommended stay time] 1 hour.
