Suogang Fishing Port Introduction
Located in Suogang Village, Magong City, Penghu County, there is a second-class fishing port, Suogang Fishing Port, situated in a natural inner bay, serving as the central fishing port in the southern part of Magong Island. In May of the 42nd year of the Republic (1953), a 388-meter rubble breakwater and a 240-meter wharf were constructed, along with a fuel station and a 127-meter seawall. In the 66th year of the Republic (1977), the central government provided subsidies to complete dredging works for the wharf and anchorage. Suogang Fishing Port is equipped with facilities such as a fuel station, ice storage, fishing gear sorting area, and auction hall, allowing for replenishment and reducing the travel distance for fishing boats to resupply in Magong, making it an auxiliary port of Magong Harbor. On land, fishing facilities include a fish market, cold storage, ice factory, fuel station, and a fishermen's activity center, all well-equipped, though some catches still need to be transported to Magong Fishing Port for marketing. The fish market within Suogang Fishing Port is a famous fish trading market in Penghu, where fishing boats go out to catch fish and return to sell them near the port during morning and afternoon hours, particularly bustling during the afternoon selling time when people from various villages in Penghu come specifically to buy fish. Adjacent to the port is the Ziwigong Temple, home to the tallest statue of a deity in Penghu, dedicated to the Ziwei Emperor; it is clearly visible from the airplane. The statue cost over a hundred million NT dollars and took about ten years to complete, standing seven stories tall, making it a must-visit attraction in Penghu's Suogang. Nearby are the North and South Stone Towers of Suogang, built by ancestors to ward off adverse winds and spirits. 【Recommended visit duration】1 hour
