Jibei Cultural Museum Introduction
At the southern dock bay of Jibei Island, the "Jibei Stone Weir Cultural Center" has been established to preserve the traditional stone weir culture. Located on the east side of the Jiabei Tourist Service Center, this is a folk cultural center and an alternative museum. The center was established to compile the stone weir culture of Jiabei Island and promote the ecology and landscape of stone weirs. The stone weir is one of the characteristics of coral reef fishing culture, which is widespread throughout the Penghu Islands. The types of stone weirs are generally similar, typically consisting of a "weir house" for collecting fish and "fishing arms" on both sides designed as "curly tails" based on the swimming habits of fish, allowing them to enter but not exit. This represents the wisdom of the ancestors in fishing. Occupying about 30 pings, the center features both static displays and multimedia video presentations. It showcases over a hundred types of agricultural, fishing, and pastoral tools used in early village life, such as stone mills, large and small jars, and electric clay lamps. The walkways feature models of fishermen and rubbings, while the exhibition room displays the structure, construction, and fishing methods of stone weirs. There are also guided tours every hour, enhancing people’s understanding and knowledge of traditional stone weir fishing. 【Recommended duration of stay】1 hour
