Dongwei Stone Sculpture Park Introduction
Dongwei Stone Sculpture Park is located north of Dongwei Reservoir, on the southeastern side of the intertidal zone. To the north, it offers views of Xiwai, Penghu Bay, and other locations. The terrain of the Penghu Islands is predominantly basalt platforms, providing ample stone carving materials, which has nurtured many stone sculpture artists. The park features four large stone sculptures. "Sea Turtle Playing in the Ocean": In addition to symbolizing longevity, it aims to raise awareness about the conservation of green sea turtles. "Coreopsis": Known for its remarkable toughness, it is the county flower of Penghu, symbolizing the indomitable spirit of the local residents. "Seagull and Basalt": This sculpture presents the grandeur of basalt, while Penghu is an important ecological region for seabirds' reproduction, allowing visitors to understand the nesting and egg-laying behavior of seagulls. "Leaping into Hope": Represented by the intelligent and lively image of dolphins, it symbolizes the hopeful development opportunities of Penghu while chasing after the pearls of the sea.
