Penghu Pioneer Park Introduction
The Penghu Pioneer Museum was originally the residence of the Penghu County Governor during the Japanese colonial period. It also served as the official residence of the Penghu County Magistrate after the restoration of Taiwan. It was completed on March 10, 1935, during the Showa era, and is a typical example of Japanese architecture known for its "Western and Eastern mixed" style, characterized by its solid structure, elegant design, and serene garden. After being left idle due to aging and deterioration, the county government restored the building in accordance with its original architectural style in 1999 and transformed it into the "Penghu Pioneer Museum." This museum serves as the first stop for understanding Penghu and is a cultural space for Penghu's humanities, recreation, and tourism. Inside, it displays historical artifacts related to the development of Penghu, organized into various exhibition areas: history – Prelude to Development, Long Journey of Immigration, Brave Exploration of Dark Water Ditch, Settlement Development, War – Fiery Penghu, Political, Economic, and Cultural Development, Current Construction Status, and Reading about Penghu, all detailing the arduous journey of the pioneers. The museum covers an area of 2,001 square meters (approximately 605 ping) with an indoor space of 320 square meters (approximately 97 ping). The outdoor garden features century-old banyan trees and towering Terminalia catappa, along with numerous endemic Penghu plants, providing a high-quality recreational space.
