SuoGang Fishing Port Introduction
Located in Suo Gang Village, Magong City, Penghu County, Suo Gang Fishing Port is a second-class fishing port situated in a natural inner bay, serving as the central fishing port in the southern part of Magong Island. In May 1953, a 388-meter stone breakwater and a 240-meter wharf were constructed, along with a fueling station and 127 meters of revetment. In 1977, the wharf and harbor dredging projects were completed with subsidies from the Central Accelerated Program. Suo Gang Fishing Port is equipped with facilities such as a fueling station, ice storage, a fishing gear sorting area, and an auction market, which provide supplies and reduce the travel distance for fishing boats needing to refuel in Magong, making it an auxiliary port to Magong Harbor. Onshore fishing facilities include a fish market, cold storage, an ice factory, a fueling station, and a fishermen's activity center, offering comprehensive services, although some catch still needs to be sold at Magong Fishing Port. The fish market at Suo Gang Fishing Port is a famous fish trading market in Penghu, where fishing boats go out to catch fish and return to sell them at the harbor during the morning and afternoon periods. Particularly in the afternoon, people from various villages in Penghu come specifically to buy fish at Suo Gang. Next to the port stands the Ziwai Palace, home to the tallest temple statue in Penghu, primarily dedicated to Emperor Ziwai. It is clearly visible from the airplane; the statue cost over a hundred million NTD and took about ten years to complete. The palace is seven stories high, making it a must-visit attraction when in Suo Gang, Penghu. Nearby are the North and South Stone Towers of Suo Gang, built by the ancestors as a way to ward off evil and stabilize the winds. 【Recommended Stay Duration】1 hour
