Candleholder Four Scenic Areas Introduction
Starting from Magong, take County Road 203 towards the direction of Xiyu Township. Between Chixi and Chima, along the western coast of Chima Village and the southern seaside of Chixi Village, follow the industrial road to the sea erosion platform at Xuezaiwei. The Four Lantern Scenery is nearby, and the road leading to it is downhill and quite steep. This area is private property and very secluded. After going down the slope, you will see several tall trees creating a shaded resting area with wooden and stone tables and chairs. Ahead, the azure sea view is unlimited, allowing you to overlook Chima Beach and the Nei'an Recreation Area beach. During low tide, a large stone fish trap can be seen on the right. Here, you can enjoy the enchanting sea view and tranquility, which is quite a delight. There is a magical Guandi Temple here. Walking through the forest, you will see a metal-roofed building that houses an old small temple inside. The temple is dedicated to Wen Chang Dijun, Guan Sheng Dijun, and Tudi Gong. The statue of Guan Sheng Dijun inside is the legendary version of Guan Gong with a beard. The temple walls record the birthday of Wen Chang Dijun and reports of Guan Sheng Dijun’s bearded statue. This statue was once salvaged from the sea and was later enshrined by the landowner who planted many flowers and trees here, creating a rare "coastal garden" in Penghu. They are also willing to open this place for everyone to share the blessed land of Guan Sheng Dijun. Within the scenic area, there is a stone tablet describing a poem about the Four Lantern Scenery, which says: "The white sand at Anjiao is clean as silver, the green water at Zhuotai beats the shore, the rough reef temple shades the visitors, and the large fish trap gathers seasonal treasures," referring to the beach, the sea waves, the temple, and the stone fish trap. The name "Lantern" is given because the tide pools below resemble columnar basalt after the tide recedes. 【Suggested stay time】 0.5 hours
