Candleholder Four Views Introduction
Starting from Magong and taking County Road 203 towards Xiyu Township, between Chixi and Chima, on the western coast of Chima Village and the southern seaside of Chixi Village, follow the industrial road to the Xuezaiwei sea erosion platform. The Four Lanterns Scenic Area is nearby, and the path leading to it is downhill and steep. This area is private and quite secluded. After walking down the slope, you will find a shady resting area formed by several tall trees, equipped with wooden tables and chairs as well as stone tables and chairs. The stunning blue sea view ahead allows you to overlook Chima Beach and the Neian Recreation Area beach. During low tide, a large stone fish trap can be seen to the right. Here, you can enjoy the charming sea view and tranquility, making it a delightful experience. There is a fascinating Guandi Temple here. After walking through the forest, you will see a metal-roofed building that contains an old small temple. Inside the temple, deities such as the Wenchang Dijun, Guansheng Dijun, and Land God are enshrined, including a statue of Guansheng Dijun, famous for its beard. The temple walls feature inscriptions about the birthday of Wenchang Dijun and news about Guansheng Dijun’s statue having a beard. This statue of Guansheng Dijun was once salvaged from the sea, and the landowner constructed a temple to worship it. They also planted numerous flowers and plants, creating a rare “seaside garden” in Penghu, and are willing to open this space for everyone to share in the blessings of Guansheng Dijun's location. Within the scenic area, there is a stone tablet that describes the Four Scenes poem, which states: "The white sands of Anjiao are pure like silver, the green waters of Zhaotai beat upon the shore, the temple shades the visitors by the rough reefs, and the fish traps catch seasonal treasures." This refers to the beach, the ocean waves, the temple, and the stone fish traps. The name "Four Lanterns" comes from the columnar basalt formations found in the intertidal zone below during low tide, which resemble lanterns. 【Suggested Stay Duration】 0.5 hours
