Ji Bei Museum Introduction
In the bay inside the southern dock of Jibei Island, the "Jibei Shihuh Cultural Center" was established to preserve the traditional stone fish trap culture. Located on the east side of the Jibei Visitor Center, this is a folk cultural museum and an alternative museum. The establishment of the center aims to consolidate the stone fish trap culture of Jibei Island and promote the ecology and landscape of the stone fish traps. Stone fish traps are one of the characteristics of coral reef shelf fishing culture, found throughout the Penghu Islands. The types of stone fish traps are mostly similar, typically consisting of a "trap house" for gathering fish and "extended arms" for guiding fish. The extended arms are designed in a "curled tail" shape based on the swimming habits of fish, allowing them to swim in but not out, showcasing the wisdom of the ancestors in fishing. Covering an area of about 30 ping, the museum currently features both static displays and multimedia video presentations, showcasing more than a hundred agricultural, fishing, and pastoral tools necessary for early village life, such as stone mills, various jars, and electric lanterns. The pathways include models of fish trap operators and rubbings of scrolls, while the exhibition room displays the structure, construction, and fishing methods of stone fish traps, along with guided tours every hour to enhance people's understanding of traditional stone trap fishing. 【Recommended stay time】 1 hour
