Lock Port Bicycle Rest Station Introduction
The Penghu Juidao Line is the only offshore cycling route among the 16 diverse cycling routes, with the Lock Port Bicycle Rest Station located in Lock Port Village, Penghu. It is the first bicycle rest station in the southern area of the Juidao Line, providing a resting space for cyclists, and also combining the bicycle landscape art created by internationally renowned artist Hung Yi. The ground surface features colorful marine life designs created by local artists, offering a comfortable resting space for cyclists while attracting tourists to take photos and showcase the landscape aesthetics, thereby enhancing the identity of the Pengnan scenic area. It seamlessly integrates landscape art with environmental space, allowing tourists to explore famous attractions in Pengnan, such as Fenggui Sea Cave, Mountain Water Beach, and the canoeing experience at Jing'an, showcasing the most beautiful ocean views in Penghu's bays. Completed in 2023, the Lock Port Bicycle Rest Station is a must-visit photo spot for cyclists. We invite contemporary Taiwanese artist Hung Yi to represent Penghu Island with the number "15," symbolizing 1 city and 5 townships, using vibrant and lively colors to express the diverse local elements and rich cultural atmosphere. The flowing golden eel shape forms the letter "L," combined with the wheels featuring the characters for Penghu to create "OVE," and the "Lake" that resembles the character for "tide." In addition to the LOVE cycling sign, there is also a cute "Heart Swan" with a long neck forming a heart symbol, exemplifying the swan's meaning perfectly. The artwork incorporates local elements and auspicious meanings to create a cheerful and festive piece. Additionally, there are bicycle repair stations in the rest area, offering temporary repair tools for cyclists, ensuring both cyclists and their bikes can rest adequately. Riding a bicycle and enjoying the sea breeze while exploring distinctive landscapes allows for a deep experience of the beauty of Penghu Bay.

The flowing golden eel forms the letter "L," as the wheels feature the characters for Penghu to spell "OVE," along with "Lake" resembling the character for "tide." Under artist Hung Yi's meticulous design, the happy tourists adorned with daisies celebrate that "Loving (Love) the Wind" is indeed a very trendy thing! The "Heart Swan" symbolizes loyalty and everlasting love. Swans are often used to symbolize steadfast love, embodying peace, kindness, loyalty, bravery, and high aspirations. Throughout history, they have been referred to as "good angels." The cute shape of the Heart Swan, with its long neck forming a heart symbol, perfectly reflects the meaning of the swan, while the design incorporates local Penghu elements and auspicious symbolism, making the entire artwork joyful and celebratory.
