Xiao Chi Jiao Hyperbolic Bridge & Huli Stone Weir Introduction
The hyperbolic bridge at Xiaoqijiao stretches into the sea, with its pure white body extending straight into the distance. On both sides, green pavilions have been established. The hyperbolic bridge is located right in the intertidal zone, where on a good day during high tide, the blue sky and the deep blue sea below intertwine to create a beautiful seascape. When the tide recedes, large areas of intertidal rocky platforms are exposed, and local residents take this opportunity to gather shells or catch fish. On the opposite side of the hyperbolic bridge is the Tigers Eye Stone Weir, the only single weir house in Chixi Village. Built around 1947 from basalt, it features a heart-shaped weir house nestled between two stone dikes, resembling a heart-shaped necklace. Fish swim into the weir during high tide and become trapped inside when the tide recedes, allowing fishermen to harvest their catch. This was a primary method of fishing in early Penghu. Due to this feature, to see the true form of the Tigers Eye Stone Weir, one must pay attention to the tidal schedule and wait for low tide to appreciate the complete heart shape of the weir. Additionally, please note that the Tigers Eye Stone Weir is private property, and the intertidal zone can be extremely slippery during low tide, so do not enter freely to avoid danger!
