Hsu Family Village and Colorful Murals Introduction
Hsu Family Village is a traditional village in Penghu characterized by a cluster of four-sided compound houses, named after the Hsu surname which dominates its population. The village features many peaceful traditional quadrangles, including several "Hsu Family Ancient Houses" located along Highway 203 in Huxi Township, where descendants still preserve the architectural traditions of early buildings, such as Zishixiang, Longshiqiang, and Niuchuedao, alongside the Bagua Lane which resembles a defensive structure. Residents work together to maintain the village's simple appearance, where you can still see red bullock carts and gray stone walls. In recent years, colorful painted totems have been added to the stone walls, creating a beautiful contrast with the traditional charm of Hsu Family Village. There are many beautiful mural walls here, each painting akin to a postcard, depicting the essence of Penghu; strolling through the streets, you can see various styles and themes of mural walls. Since 2013, mural artists have gradually expanded their work area and have maintained and updated the murals, ensuring they remain novel and clean. Unlike typical tourist attractions, a leisurely walk in Hsu Family Village allows one to appreciate the traditional simplicity and tranquility. Hsu Family Village is the closest settlement to Magong City where one can closely observe ancient stone houses, featuring an expansive coastline with shallow waters and a broad intertidal zone. In front of the community activity center, there is also a pavilion, making the village's narrow lanes to the ancient houses a place to enjoy the interplay of old and new artistic ambiance. 【Recommended stay time】2 hours
