Penghu Post Office Introduction
Near Magong Harbor, there is a green building featuring the blue totem of Chunghwa Telecom, which was formerly the Magong Post Office. This building was constructed by the Japanese government in 1924 and was responsible for the postal services in Penghu at that time. The Penghu Post Office was established in the 13th year of the Taisho era (1924) and was renamed the "Penghu Ordinary Post Office" after the postal and telecommunications services were separated in the 17th year of the Showa era (1942). In August of the 35th year of the Republic of China, it merged with the telecommunications bureau and was called the Penghu Post and Telecommunications Office. By May of the 38th year of the Republic of China, the postal and telecommunications services became independent, and the name was changed again to the Penghu Post Office, which specializes in postal services while still operating in the original location with the telecommunications bureau. The architectural feature is that it was built during the popularity of "Western-style architecture," so the Japanese architect used a "Japanese-Western mixed style" in the design. The building has an L-shaped layout, with the main entrance located at the corner of the L-shape. The roof structure employs a "two-slope roof" design, while the main entrance roof is designed in a "cut angle" form, covered with cement Japanese cultural tiles that resemble the helmets of Japanese shoguns; the symmetrical form of the three windows above the main entrance is also a typical representation of Baroque architecture. 【Recommended stay time】 15 minutes
