Cow Heart Mountain is located on the southeastern side of Xiyu, at the coastal highway between Chima Village and Neian Village, at the boundary of Chima and Neian Villages. Cow Heart Mountain was originally a small land-connected island, shaped by the cooling of volcanic lava into a basalt tableland. Over a long period of coastal erosion and weathering, it has formed a landscape that resembles the shape of a cow heart.

Niuxin Mountain (Niuxin Bay) Introduction

Niu Xin Mountain, also known as "Devil Mountain," features two coastal roads, one from Daguoye to Chima and the other to Neian, leading to scenic views along the way. The coastal road starts from Hengjiao Village to Neian Elementary School by the coast. Niu Xin Mountain is a land-connected island formed by the weathering of columnar basalt. During the summer, it is a peaceful pasture for cattle and sheep. Niu Xin Mountain is located on the southeastern side of Xiyu, at the boundary between Chima Village and Neian Village along the coastal road. Originally a small land-connected island, it is characterized by basalt columnar terrain formed from cooled volcanic lava. Over time, marine erosion and weathering have shaped it into a hill that resembles the shape of a cow's heart. The base of the mountain is surrounded by silver wattle and weeds, and in summer, clusters of asters bloom, revealing the basalt columns at the peak. Below the mountain lies Niu Xin Bay, which has a coastal erosion platform and beautiful stone weirs, making it one of the famous bay views in Penghu. This area was once a cemetery for Chima Village, and there is also a military base nearby, so visitors should exercise caution and be aware. 【Recommended stay time】 0.5 hours.
