Jibei Cultural Museum Introduction
In the southern bay of Jibei Island, in order to preserve the traditional stone weir culture, the "Jibei Stone Weir Cultural Museum" has been established. Located on the east side of the Jibei Visitor Center, this is a folk culture museum and an alternative museum. The museum was established to compile the stone weir culture of Jibei Island and promote the ecology and landscape of the stone weir. The stone weir is one of the characteristics of the coral reef shelf fishery culture, which is spread throughout the Penghu archipelago. The types of stone weirs are generally similar, with a "weir house" for collecting fish and "extending arms" on both sides designed according to the swimming habits of fish, shaped like "curled tails" to allow fish to swim in but not out, representing the wisdom of the ancestors in fishing. Covering an area of about thirty ping, the museum currently displays both static exhibits and multimedia film presentations. The exhibits include over a hundred kinds of agricultural, fishing, and pastoral tools needed for early village life, such as stone mills, large and small pots, and electric lamps. The walkways feature models of fishers, rubbings on scrolls, and the exhibition room displays the structure, construction, and fishing methods of the stone weir, with guided tours at every hour to enhance people's understanding and knowledge of traditional stone weir fishing. 【Suggested visiting time】1 hour.
