Candleholder Four Scenic Spots Introduction
Starting from Magong, head west on County Road 203 towards Xiyu Township. Between Chixi and Chima, on the west coast of Chima Village and the southern seaside of Chixi Village, follow the industrial road to the Xuezaiwei coastal erosion platform. The Four Scenic Views of the Candlestick are nearby, and the road to the Candlestick is a downhill road that is relatively steep. This area is private property, making it very secluded. After traversing the downhill path, you will see several tall trees forming a shaded resting area, featuring wooden tables and chairs as well as stone tables and chairs. In front, the limitless azure sea view allows you to overlook Chima Beach and the Neian Recreation Area's beach. At low tide, a large stone weir can be seen on the right. Here, you can enjoy the enchanting sea view and tranquility, which is truly delightful. There is a miraculous Guandi Temple here. Just beyond the forest, you will see an iron house that surrounds an old small temple. The temple enshrines Wenchang Dijun, Guansheng Dijun, and Tudigong. The statue of Guansheng Dijun, known for his legendary mustache, is housed here, and the temple's walls recount reports of Wenchang Dijun's birthday and Guansheng Dijun's mustache. This statue of Guansheng Dijun was once a misfortunate figure found at sea. The local landlord built the temple for worship and planted numerous flowers and trees here, creating a rare "Coastal Garden" in Penghu. They are willing to open this space for everyone to share in the blessings of the land where Guansheng Dijun resides. A stone tablet within the scenic area describes the Four Scenic Poems, stating: "Anjiao's white sand is clean as silver, Zhuotai's green water beats the beach, the rough reefs surround the temple sheltering guests, and the large weir catches seasonal treasures." This refers to the beach, the ocean waves, the temples, and the stone weir. The name "Candlestick" comes from the columnar basalt in the intertidal zone below, which resembles candles at low tide.
