Penghu Pioneer Park Introduction
The Penghu Pioneer Museum was established on the site of the former Governor's Residence of the Penghu County during the Japanese colonial period. It later served as the official residence for the county magistrates after Taiwan's retrocession. Completed on March 10, 1935, during the Shōwa era, the building is a typical example of "Western-Asian mixed" architecture, sharing a similar style with the Penghu County Government. The structure is solid, elegantly designed, and features a tranquil garden. After being unused for many years due to the aging of the building, the county government restored it in accordance with the original architectural style in 1999 and repurposed it as the "Penghu Pioneer Museum." It serves as the starting point for understanding Penghu, as well as a cultural space for its history, recreation, and tourism. The museum exhibits historical materials and artifacts related to the development of Penghu, covering areas such as history - the prelude to development, the long journey of immigration, adventures in the Black Water Ditch, settlement development, warfare - the fiery Penghu, political, economic, and cultural development, construction status, and reading about Penghu, narrating the arduous journey of the early pioneers in detail. The total area of the museum is 2,001 square meters (approximately 605 ping), and the indoor area is 320 square meters (approximately 97 ping). The outdoor garden features century-old banyan trees, towering Ficus Macrocarpa, and many native plants of Penghu, providing a high-quality resting space.
