Caiyuan Leisure Fishing Zone Introduction
The Penghu Pioneer Museum originated from the "Penghu County Magistrate Residence," which was built in 1933. It served as the official residence for the Penghu Prefect during the Japanese occupation and the Penghu County magistrate after World War II. The architectural features are characterized by a mix of Japanese and Western styles, known as a blend of Eastern and Western architecture, using local building materials from Penghu. The entrance hall, Western-style living room, and dining area are constructed using Western-style reinforced concrete, while the roof, Japanese-style living room, bedrooms, and corridors are designed with authentic Japanese styles in both design and materials. The entrance courtyard is separated from the outside by a low wall made of the unique basalt found in Penghu. The Penghu Government Office, which was also built in 1933 during the Japanese rule, initially continued to use the old Penghu Government Office left by the Qing Dynasty. However, due to severe damage from humidity and termites affecting the wooden structure, it no longer met usage needs. Therefore, a new Penghu Government Office was constructed in the Guizai Mountain area outside of Magong City by the Shanglong Group. The new Penghu Government Office is a two-story building made of stone and concrete, using local basalt for its construction. The overall design is symmetric and neat, topped with a traditional Japanese roof style. At its center is a tower resembling the "Tenshō Daigongen" shrine, giving it the appearance of wearing a crown and thus referred to as "Imperial Crown Architecture." The exterior walls are painted in a "defense color" khaki, in response to wartime needs. After the retrocession of Taiwan, the Republic of China government continued to use the Penghu Government Office as the office of the Penghu County Government, making it a building rich in historical significance!
