Penghu Aquarium Introduction
The Penghu Aquarium, constructed with gray-white walls and turquoise roofs, is a two-story building located in Qitou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu. It was expanded from the original Fisheries Experiment Station. Inside the aquarium, there are display areas featuring coastal ecology, rocky pools, and oceanic ecosystems, with the most notable being the 14-meter-long arched underwater tunnel, where visitors can stroll through and admire various marine life. Directly opposite the entrance of the aquarium, there is a straight wave breaker extending into the Taiwan Strait, originally established as a cultivation area by a Japanese pearl farming company. The uniquely wavy shape of the breaker attracts many tourists for photography. However, if you wish to take photos in the blue seawater, remember to check the tidal schedule and choose the right time during high tide, or you might only find yourself on a wet mudflat! On the eastern side of the aquarium, there is a tidal park, Qitou Waterfront Park, designed to utilize the tidal difference. It features a tidal flat walking area, a circular water play pool, and children's play facilities, allowing both adults and children to observe intertidal organisms and understand tidal effects, making it an educational and recreational area.
