Xiao Pool Corner Hyperbolic Bridge & Tiger Eye Stone Weir Introduction
The hyperbolic bridge at Xiaochijiao stretches out into the sea, its pure white body extending straight into the distance, flanked by green gazebos on both sides. The bridge is perfectly located on the intertidal zone, and when the weather is good during high tide, the blue sky blends beautifully with the deep blue sea below, creating a stunning seascape. When the tide recedes, large areas of intertidal rock surfaces are revealed, and local residents take this opportunity to collect shellfish or fish. On the opposite side of the hyperbolic bridge is the Humu Stone Weir, the only single weir house in Chixi Village, built around 1947 and made of basalt. In the middle of two stone embankments lies a heart-shaped weir house, resembling a heart-shaped necklace. Fish swim into the stone weir during high tide and get trapped inside when the tide recedes, allowing fishermen to catch their haul. This was the main method of fishing in Penghu in the past. Due to this characteristic, to see the true form of the Humu Stone Weir, one must pay attention to the tidal times, as it can only be appreciated in its complete heart shape during low tide. Additionally, please note that the Humu Stone Weir is private property, and the intertidal zone can be quite slippery during low tide, so do not enter recklessly to avoid danger!
