Penghu Ocean World Introduction
The aquarium features a touch pool and fish feeding activities. Every morning and afternoon, there are exciting feeding shows at the ocean pool, where you can see interesting interactions between the caretakers and marine creatures. The two-story building, constructed with gray-white walls and green rooftops, is the Penghu Aquarium, located in Qitou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu. It was expanded from the original Fisheries Research Institute. Inside, there are exhibition areas showcasing coastal ecology, rocky pools, and ocean pool ecology, with the highlight being a 14-meter-long arched underwater tunnel, where you can stroll through and admire various marine life. Directly opposite the main entrance of the aquarium is a straight wave breakwater extending into the Taiwan Strait, originally built as a breeding ground by a Japanese pearl farming company. The unique wavy shape of the breakwater attracts many visitors for photo opportunities. However, if you want to take photos in the beautiful blue seawater, be sure to check the tide times and choose the right high tide for your shots; otherwise, you may just find a wet muddy shore beneath your feet! On the eastern side of the aquarium, there is also the Qitou Waterfront Park, designed with tidal variations in mind. It includes an intertidal walking area, a circular wading pool for children, and playground facilities, allowing both adults and children to observe intertidal creatures and understand tidal effects, making it an educational and recreational area.
