North Coast Visitor Center Introduction
As of October 2023, reconstruction has been temporarily suspended, and the original service unit has moved to the Houliao Visitor Center. The service phone number for Houliao Visitor Center is +886-6-9933437. To visit the various islands of the North Sea, tickets must be purchased at the North Sea Visitor Center located in Chi-Kan Village, where you can take a boat from Chi-Kan Pier to Jibei Island, Xianjiao Island, Mu-dou Island, and others. Chi-Kan serves as the base for marine leisure activities, and nearby islands offer experiences such as snorkeling, appreciating coral reefs, and water skiing. Chi-Kan Pier is also an important port for catching flying fish, with the flying fish season in Penghu occurring from April to September, during which the annual Chi-Kan Flying Fish Festival is held, along with opportunities to participate in flying fish catching experiences. There are several must-see attractions in Chi-Kan. The first is the Longde Temple, dedicated to the Third Prince Nezha, which has strong religious significance and serves as a faith center for the residents of Baisha Chi-Kan Village, with numerous local legends associated with Nezha. The second attraction is an ancient house located at the top of Kan-ding in front of the North Sea Visitor Center, featuring a century-old well in its courtyard that connects to an adjacent air raid shelter, both of which are remarkably well-preserved. The third attraction is a three-faced Stone God located to the south of the North Sea Visitor Center, which is quite rare in style. It is said that the dog head rock above was once broken, angering the local deities, leading villagers to ask the perpetrator to repent and repair the dog head rock, while also erecting the three-faced Stone God below to suppress negative energy. Since then, the three-faced Stone God has faced the strong northeast monsoon under the dog head rock, protecting the village's peace.
