Penghu Pioneer Park Introduction
The Penghu Pioneer Museum was formerly the official residence of the Penghu County Governor during the Japanese occupation and later became the residence of the Penghu County magistrate after Taiwan's recovery. Completed on March 10, 1935, during the Showa period of Japanese rule, it is a typical example of "洋和混合" (Western-Japanese hybrid) architecture, characterized by its solid structure, elegant design, and tranquil gardens. After being unused for years due to aging, the county government restored the building in accordance with its original style in 1999 and renamed it the "Penghu Pioneer Museum." It serves as the first stop for understanding Penghu and is a cultural space for humanities, leisure, and tourism. Inside, the museum displays historical materials related to the development of Penghu, organized into exhibition areas that narrate the arduous journey of early pioneers, including sections on history and pioneering efforts, long immigration paths, adventurous crossings, settlement development, wartime events in Penghu, political, economic, and educational development, current construction status, and reading about Penghu. The entire museum covers an area of 2,001 square meters (approximately 605 ping), with an indoor space of 320 square meters (approximately 97 ping), and the outdoor garden features century-old banyan trees and towering Terminalia catappa, hosting numerous unique Penghu plants, providing a quality recreational space.
