Caiyuan Leisure Fishing Area Introduction
The Peikang Development Hall was originally the "Penghu County Magistrate's Residence," built in 1933. It served as the official residence of the magistrate of Penghu during the Japanese rule and the post-World War II period. Its architectural features include a blend of Japanese and Western styles, also known as hybrid architecture, utilizing local construction materials from Penghu. The entrance foyer, Western-style living room, and dining room are constructed in Western-style reinforced concrete, while the roof, Japanese-style living room, bedrooms, and corridors are designed with authentic Japanese elements. The front garden at the main entrance is separated from the exterior by a low wall made of Penghu's unique basalt. The Penghu Office, also built in 1933 during the Japanese rule, initially continued to use the old Penghu Office left by the Qing Dynasty. However, due to severe damage from humidity and termites, the wooden structure was no longer functional. Consequently, a new Penghu Office was built in the Guizai Mountain area, contracted by Takai. The new Penghu Office features a two-story structure made of stone and concrete, utilizing locally sourced basalt. The symmetrical design of the building is topped with traditional Japanese tile roofing, and it features a tower resembling the "Tenshō Daijingū," which gives it a crown-like appearance, hence it is referred to as imperial crown architecture. The outer walls are painted in camouflage colors in response to wartime needs. After Taiwan's retrocession, the Republic of China government continued to use the Penghu Office as the office of the Penghu County government, making it a building rich in historical significance!
