Star of Ju Island (Fisherman's Wharf) Introduction
Fisherman's Wharf was originally the second fishing port of Magong, used for fishing boats and ice manufacturing, with oil pollution and fishy smells everywhere, along with casually placed fishing gear and ice machines. Later, under the overall planning and renovation by the county government, it became a waterfront redevelopment area rich in Penghu's industrial characteristics and great potential. Today, it has become a popular spot for Penghu residents to stroll and a must-visit destination for travelers. The wharf is generally divided into two areas: one is the shopping area and performance space dominated by the "Star of Chuku" and the other is a recreational area featuring painted oil barrels. There are wooden walkways and coastal rest areas with wooden tables and chairs. The "Star of Chuku" is a large cruise ship built from reinforced concrete, constructed by the Penghu Fishermen’s Association at a cost of 120 million TWD. It is a three-story building designed to resemble a cruise ship, with the first floor serving as a direct sales center for fish products from the fishing association, offering seafood, dry goods, souvenirs, and handmade crafts; the second floor is a seafood restaurant, and the third floor features some ship facilities for photo opportunities and visits. The port area business district has transformed, balancing fishery production with tourist leisure, becoming a waterfront redevelopment area where visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk along the wooden pathways by the water, enhanced by night lighting design that showcases different charms at day and night.
