Jiangmei Coast Guard Station Introduction
Located in Jangkeng Village, Baisha Township, Penghu, there is a mysterious lighthouse in the sea next to Pingzhi Islet. A simple square cabin stands in the center of the sea, and during low tide, a cement path about 300 meters long connects it to Jangkeng Fishing Port. During high tide, the cement path is submerged, making it appear and disappear with the waves, turning the lighthouse into an island in the sea. It is said that before the construction of the Zhongzheng Yong'an Bridge, the land transportation between Baisha Township and Huxi Township had to pass through this area, and residents needed to pay attention to the tidal times, waiting for low tide to cross. Due to political sensitivity at the beginning of the post-war period, this lighthouse was established, and troops were stationed to check the identification of passing villagers. As transportation infrastructure gradually developed over time, the lighthouse lost its function, and by the 1950s, the coastal defense troops stationed there had withdrawn, leaving the cabin standing alone in the sea. In recent years, there has been a trend for secret spots in Penghu, and this location has become a popular spot for photography; however, since the appearance of this secret spot changes with the tides, visitors need to pay attention to tidal times to capture the best photos. Caution is also advised when heading to the cabin, as the tides can change rapidly and may pose a risk of being trapped during high tide. 【Recommended visit duration】 0.5 hours
