Whale Cave Introduction
Xiaomen Whale Cave is located in Xiaomen Village, Xiyu Township, Penghu County. Originally a basalt cape, Whale Cave has been continuously eroded by the northeast monsoon and waves over a long period, ultimately forming a sea cave arch that resembles a whale beached on the shore, hence the name "Whale Cave." The area near Xiaomen Whale Cave features terrain composed of basalt geology, making it relatively barren and difficult for plants to thrive. However, cacti have adapted well to this environment. Walking along the slope, one can see many cacti growing despite the harsh terrain, with some even blooming beautiful flowers, leaving a strong impression. Near Whale Gate, one can observe the "Honeycomb Fields" not far away. This unique sight was developed by local people in the past to protect plants and crops from the adverse effects of the strong northeast monsoon in winter. They constructed honeycomb fields using limestone to shield against the winter winds, facilitating the growth of plants and crops, making it a very distinctive landscape.
