Penghu Aquarium Introduction
The two-story building of the Penghu Aquarium, constructed with gray-white walls and green tiles, is located in Qitou Village, Baisha Township, Penghu. It was expanded from the original fisheries experiment station. Inside the aquarium, there are exhibition areas dedicated to coastal ecology, reef pools, and oceanic ecology, with the highlight being the 14-meter-long arched underwater tunnel, where visitors can stroll and appreciate various marine creatures. Directly opposite the main entrance of the aquarium is a straight wave jetty extending into the Taiwan Strait, originally built by a Japanese pearl farming company as a cultivation field. The unique wave shape of the jetty attracts many tourists for photos. However, if you want to capture pictures in the blue seawater, remember to check the tide schedule and choose the right time during high tide, or you will just find a wet muddy flat below your feet! On the east side of the aquarium, there is also a Qitou waterfront park designed utilizing tidal differences, featuring a tidal flat walking area, a circular wading pool, and children's play facilities, allowing both adults and children to observe intertidal organisms and learn about tidal actions, making it an educational and recreational area.
