Lintou Beach Introduction
In addition to the romantic scenery, Lin Tou Beach also offers the experience of the traditional fishing method known as "Qian Gu" in Penghu. Lin Tou 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 catch fish. However, with the advancement of modern fishing gear and changes in lifestyle, Qian Gu has gradually declined and has now become a local tourist experience activity. The so-called Qian Gu involves using a beach seine net for fishing, suitable for shallow beaches without rocky seabeds. It is typically done during dawn or dusk. Fishermen first take a small boat to the outer waters and place the fishing net into the sea, then people on the shore secure both ends of the net at the beach and work together to pull the net back to the shore, ultimately capturing the fish caught in the net. The catch varies by season, with common species including mackerel, ponyfish, and squid. Small fish and non-edible marine organisms caught in the net are usually returned to the sea.
