Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum Introduction
The Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum underwent its third renovation in July 2020 and officially reopened at the end of January 2021, with a new name, Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum. The museum features prehistoric themes and incorporates audiovisual elements across various exhibits. It is divided into six main areas: the Entrance Image Service Area, the Deep Sea Rock Area, the Egg-Shaped Projection Area, the Dinosaur and Plant Model Scenic Area, the Basalt Introduction Wall, and the Exit Display Area. Xiaomen Islet is located on the northern side of Xiyu (Fisherman Island) in Penghu County, covering an area of 0.5121 square kilometers. During high tide, it becomes an independent island and is known as the "Pearl of Houmen" due to its proximity to the Houmen Rapids. Subsequently, the Xiaomen Bridge was constructed to connect it to Xiyu, and the Penghu Administration built parking lots and cycling paths, making it one of the most famous scenic spots in Penghu County. The name Xiaomen derives from a small path to the east of Xiaomen Village that lies between basalt cliffs. Historically, the residents of Xiaomen Village would use this path, which appears as a door from a distance, hence the name. Visiting Information for the Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum: 1.
