Lintou Beach Introduction
In addition to the romantic scenery, at Lintou Beach, you can also experience the traditional fishing method of Penghu - "Qian Gu" (牽罟). Lintou Village is one of the few places in Penghu where the traditional "Qian Gu" activity continues. "Qian Gu" is one of the common methods used by the ancestors of Penghu to obtain fish catches. However, as modern fishing gear and lifestyles have advanced, "Qian Gu" has gradually declined and has now become a local tourism experience activity. The so-called "Qian Gu" involves fishing with a beach seine, suitable for shallow beaches where there are no reefs on the seabed. It typically takes place during dusk or dawn. Fishermen first take a small boat to offshore waters, set the fishing net in the sea, and then people on the shore secure the two ends of the net to the shore and work together to pull the net towards the beach, ultimately collecting the catch from the net. The catch varies by season, with common fish including mackerel, striped mullet, and squid. If there are small fish or non-edible marine creatures in the net, they are returned to the sea.
