Guanyin Pavilion Rest Area Introduction
The Guanyin Pavilion Recreation Park is a multifunctional coastal leisure area that combines history and modernity. In addition to the historically significant Guanyin Pavilion, the park features newly constructed public recreational facilities, including a water-friendly leisure area, an international windsurfing competition center, a playground, a bike health trail, a basketball court, an ice skating rink, and a pet park, making it a relaxing spot for residents of Magong to exercise and enjoy the sea view. The Guanyin Pavilion, located next to the Youth Activity Center, was established in the 35th year of the Kangxi era and primarily enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva. It was destroyed by French troops during the Sino-French War but was restored multiple times and is now listed as a county-designated historic site. Next to the Guanyin Pavilion are the Wangchao Pavilion, Jieshou Pavilion, Dolphin Pavilion, and Huai'en Pavilion, collectively known as the "Four Pavilions by the Sea." Visitors can appreciate the beautiful tides and sceneries of the Taiwan Strait from the Wangchao Pavilion and enjoy the sunset views from the Jieshou Pavilion. The Dolphin Pavilion, located in the Guanyin Pavilion Recreation Park, is also a prominent landmark, featuring a pair of dolphins swimming towards each other, symbolizing the dolphins swimming along the shores of Penghu. Meanwhile, the Huai'en Pavilion commemorates former President Chiang Kai-shek and is worth a visit. Opposite the Guanyin Pavilion, one can see the notable "Xiying Rainbow Bridge," a steel arch bridge known for its rainbow lights that shine brightly at night, illuminating the sea and adding a romantic atmosphere. The Xiying Rainbow Bridge is also the site for the Penghu Fireworks Festival in recent years, where visitors can enjoy the splendid night views of fireworks in conjunction with the rainbow bridge on fireworks display nights, seated by the shore near the Guanyin Pavilion and Dolphin Pavilion. 【Recommended stay time】 2 hours
