Suogang Bicycle Rest Station Introduction
The Lock Port Bicycle Rest Station, completed in 2023, is a must-visit Instagram-worthy spot for cyclists. We invited contemporary Taiwanese artist Hung Yi to represent the 15 townships of Penghu Island with the number "15," using vibrant colors to express diverse local elements and a rich cultural atmosphere. The streamlined golden eel-shaped structure forms the letter "L," combined with the bicycle wheels to create "OVE," which, along with the shape resembling the character for "tide," represents "lake." In addition to the LOVE bicycle signage, there is also a cute "Heart Swan," which, with its long neck, forms a heart symbol, perfectly conveying the meaning of the swan. The artwork incorporates local elements and auspicious meanings, making it joyful and celebratory. Additionally, the rest area features a bicycle repair stand, providing temporary maintenance tools for cyclists so both riders and their bikes can enjoy a thorough rest. The Penghu Chrysanthemum Island Route is the only offshore cycling route among 16 diverse bicycle paths, and the Lock Port Bicycle Rest Station is located in Lock Port Village, the first rest station in the Pengnan area of the Chrysanthemum Island Route. Apart from offering a resting space for cyclists, it also integrates landscape art created by internationally renowned artist Hung Yi. The ground surface features printed marine life designs by local artists, providing a comfortable resting space while attracting tourists to stop and capture photos, showcasing landscape aesthetics and enhancing the identity of the Pengnan scenic area. It closely integrates landscape art with environmental space, allowing visitors to explore renowned attractions in Pengnan, such as the Fonggui Sea Cave, Sand Beach, and the canoe experience in Jing'an, showcasing the beautiful marine scenery of Penghu's most stunning bays.

[Heart Swan] - The swan is regarded as a symbol of loyalty and everlasting love. Swans are often used as a metaphor for unwavering love. They also symbolize peace, kindness, loyalty, bravery, and high aspirations, historically referred to as "angels of beauty and goodness." The Heart Swan's cute appearance, with its long neck forming a heart symbol, accurately conveys the swan's meaning, while the combination of designs adds local elements and auspicious meanings, making the entire piece joyful and celebratory.
