Hsu Family Village and Painted Murals Introduction
Xujia Village is a traditional settlement in Penghu, known for its cluster of four-sided courtyards. Named after the Xu surname, which constitutes the majority of its residents, the village features quiet traditional courtyards. Here, several "Xujia Ancient Houses" are located along County Road 203 in Hukouxi Township, preserving the early architectural styles with alleys like Zishiqiang, Niuchedao, and Bagua Lane, which resembles a defensive structure. The residents work together to maintain the village's simplicity, where you can still see red bull carts and gray stone walls. In recent years, colorful totem murals have been painted on the Zishiqiang walls, creating a beautiful contrast with the traditional settlement's charm. The village showcases many beautiful painted walls, each resembling a postcard representing the essence of Penghu. Walking through the streets of Xujia Village, you can admire various styles and themes of murals. Since 2013, the range of painting has expanded each year, with ongoing maintenance to keep the murals fresh and clean. Unlike typical tourist attractions, strolling through Xujia Village allows one to experience traditional simplicity and tranquility. Xujia Village is the closest settlement to Magong City where one can view the Zishiqiang Ancient Houses up close, and it boasts a vast coastline with shallow waters and a broad intertidal zone. In front of the community activity center, there is a gazebo where visitors can wander through the ancient house alleyways and enjoy the artistic ambiance created by the blend of old and new. 【Suggested stay time】2 hours.
