Qingluo Village, Yangming Miao Tower Introduction

Appearance of Shigandang: Tower-shaped Shigandang Monument Inscription: Text height: 4.35M, Circumference: 12.5M Construction style: Bottle-shaped Ornament on top of the tower: Gourd Originally, the main living area of Qingluo Village was primarily to the east, with the west developing slower in comparison. Under the instructions of Zhenwu Emperor, the stone tower was built on the high ground of "Shanzitou," which led to the development of the western village as well. The current Yangming Miao Tower was rebuilt in 1971 under the instructions of Zhenwu Emperor, and the exact year of the original construction is unknown. Notably, the Yangming Miao Tower is the only stone tower in Penghu with rain-collecting capabilities. It is said that during times of drought, when "Big Grass" plants were inserted on top of the tower, rain would inevitably follow a few days later, allowing crops cultivated by villagers to thrive. The tower is situated at the first star of the Qixing (Seven Stars) geography, hence it is also known as Qixing Tower. The view from the tower is excellent, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Qingluo Sandbar and Yuzi, ensuring that visitors are captivated.
