五孔頂步道&五孔頂碉堡

On the high ground of Chima Bay in Chima Village, Xiyu Township, there are the remains of the Wukong Ding Fort. It is called Wukong Ding Fort because the stone walls of the fort are carved with five square windows for observing enemy activity in the inner harbor and offshore. After Wu Hongluo, the general of the navy stationed in Penghu during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, constructed Penghu City, five forts were built around 1888 in Xiyu, and this one at Chima Bay is among them. Below the fort, there is a Wukong Ding bunker, which is an underground barracks built along the contour of the mountain, with stepped trenches at both ends for entry and exit. Although only the remains of the fort are left today, the bunker has been renovated and is largely intact and sturdy.

Wukongding Trail & Wukongding Fort Introduction

On the high ground of ChiMa Bay in the ChiMa Village of Xiyu Township, there are the ruins of a five-hole artillery fort. It is called the Five-Hole Top Fort due to the five square-shaped windows carved into the stone walls of the fort, used for observing enemy movements in the inner harbor and the open sea. After Wu Hongluo, the overall commander of the naval forces stationed in Penghu during the Guangxu period, constructed the Penghu City, he built five forts in Xiyu around 1888, with the one in ChiMa Bay being one of them. Below the fort, there is a five-hole top bunker, which is an underground barracks that follows the contours of the mountain, with stairs at both entrances leading in and out. Nowadays, only the remains of the fort are left, but the bunker has been renovated, making it mostly intact and solid. At the foot of the Five-Hole Top Mountain, there is a 600-meter long trail paved with gravel and wooden planks, allowing for a walk to the mountain top, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes. This scenic trail combines historical significance with natural beauty. At the summit, there is a sea-view pavilion and an observation platform where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Penghu Bay. The view from the peak is excellent, allowing visitors to watch the sunrise over the sea, see boats entering Magong Harbor at dusk, and enjoy the twinkling lights of fishing boats at night, as well as gaze at the starry sky, capturing the beauty of the entire day.
