夕陽下的海中崗哨

Located in Jiangmei Village, Baisha Township, Penghu, there is a mysterious sea watchtower beside Pingzhiyu. A simple square cabin stands in the middle of the sea, and during low tide, a concrete trail of about three hundred meters in length can be seen connecting it to Jiangmei Fishing Port. During high tide, the concrete path is submerged by water, and with the ebb and flow of the sea, the watchtower appears like an isolated island in the ocean.

Jiangmei Sea Observation Post Introduction

Located in Jiangmei Village, Baisha Township, Penghu, there is a mysterious sea outpost beside Pingzhi Islet. A simple square cabin stands in the middle of the sea, and during low tide, a concrete pathway about three hundred meters long connects it to Jiangmei Fishing Port. When the tide rises, the concrete path is submerged, appearing intermittently with the ebb and flow of the sea, turning the outpost 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 the residents traveling back and forth had to pay attention to the tidal times, waiting for low tide to pass. In the early post-liberation period, due to political sensitivity, this outpost was established to station troops responsible for checking the identification documents of the villagers passing through. With the passage of time and the gradual development of transportation infrastructure, the outpost has lost its function, and by the 1950s, the original coastal defense troops stationed here had withdrawn, leaving the outpost standing alone in the sea. In recent years, a trend for "secret spots" has emerged in Penghu, and this location has also become a popular spot for photography. However, because this secret spot presents different appearances with the rising and falling tides, visitors must pay attention to the tidal times to capture the best photos. Caution is also advised when approaching the outpost cabin, as tidal changes can be sudden and may risk getting trapped during high tide. 【Recommended Stay Duration】 0.5 hours.
