Cingluo Village, Yangming Miao Pagoda Introduction
Appearance of Shigandani: Tower-shaped Shigandani Stele Inscription: Total Height: 4.35M Circumference: 12.5M Construction Form: Bottle-shaped Tower Top Ornament: Gourd The early main living area of Qingluo Village was primarily on the east side, while the west side developed more slowly. Under the instructions of Emperor Zhenwu, the stone tower was placed on the high ground of "Shanzaitou," and the western village began to develop as well. The current Yangming Miao Tower was rebuilt in the 60th year of the Republic of China under the instructions of Emperor Zhenwu, and the exact date of the tower's construction is now unknown. Notably, the Yangming Miao Tower is the only stone tower in Penghu that has rain-gathering effects. It is said that during prolonged droughts, inserting the plant colloquially known as "big grass" into the top of the stone tower would ensure rain within a few days, allowing the crops grown by villagers to flourish. The location of the stone tower sits at the first star of the Qixing geography, hence it is also known as the Qixing Tower. The view from the tower is exceptional, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Qingluo Sandbar and Yu'ai Island, ensuring that visitors are captivated and reluctant to leave.
