山水吳家古厝
山水吳家古厝

At the Shanshui Beach, near the embankment, there are two prominent low ancient houses among the majority of modern buildings. These ancient houses are horizontally arranged, with a gray and simple tone that makes them stand out in contrast. The Shanshui Ancient Houses feature uneven stone masonry for the lower half, while the upper half is made of lime stone mixed with cement gray. The corners are built with interlocking bricks, making the houses appear sturdier. However, some decorative tiles have unfortunately collapsed due to neglect and lack of maintenance.

Address:Shanshui Village, Magong City, Penghu County

Shanshui Wu's Old House Introduction

The Shanshui Beach stretches over 200 meters, with an endless view of blue and white. The vast landscape is refreshing to the mind, featuring a golden sandy beach intertwined with lush green vines. The golden sunlight shines on the blue water, making the sea incredibly clear. When visiting this golden beach, beside the embankment, among a majority of modern buildings, there are two conspicuous low ancient houses. These ancient houses are aligned horizontally, and their gray, simple tones stand out in contrast; though not luxurious, the architecture carries more character and significance. These are the Shanshui Ancient Houses, which have a history of nearly a hundred years. It is said that they were originally seen by three brothers from the Shanshui Village, with three ancient houses existing, but one has been transformed into a metal structure for living, while the other two remain vacant. The Shanshui Ancient Houses have a lower half constructed of random stones and an upper half made of gravel mixed with cement, with intersecting bricks at the corners for added sturdiness, along with some decorative tiles. Unfortunately, without occupancy and maintenance, many parts have collapsed. These ancient houses face the Shanshui Beach, and in the era before the embankment, the beach and ocean were right outside, providing an incredibly pleasant ambiance. 【Recommended stay duration】 1 hour
