Penghu Pioneer Park Introduction
The Penghu Pioneer Museum was originally the office of the Penghu County Governor during the Japanese colonial period and later became the official residence of the Penghu County Magistrate after the retrocession of Taiwan. It was completed on March 10, 1935, during the Showa era, and is a typical example of "Western and Japanese mixed" architecture, which shares similarities with the Penghu County Government. The building is solidly constructed, elegantly designed, and features a serene garden. After being left unused due to aging, the county government restored it to its original architectural style in 1999 and repurposed it as the "Penghu Pioneer Museum," becoming the first stop to learn about Penghu, as well as a cultural space for Penghu's humanities, recreation, and tourism. The museum showcases historical artifacts related to the development of Penghu, sequentially presenting exhibits from history — Prelude to Development, The Long Journey of Immigration, Courageously Braving the Black Water Ditch, Settlement Development, War — The Fiery Penghu, Development of Politics, Economy, Culture, and Education, Current Construction Status, and Reading Penghu, vividly narrating the arduous journey of the pioneers. The entire museum covers an area of 2,001 square meters (approximately 605 ping), with an indoor area of 320 square meters (approximately 97 ping). The outdoor garden features a century-old banyan tree and towering Ficus macrophylla, along with numerous plant species unique to Penghu, providing a high-quality recreational space.
