North Sea Visitor Center Introduction
As of October 2023, reconstruction is temporarily halted, and the original service unit has moved to the Hou Liao Visitor Center. The phone number for the Hou Liao Visitor Center is 06-9933437. To visit the various islands in the North Sea, you need to purchase boat tickets at the North Sea Visitor Center located in Chihkan Village. From Chihkan Pier, you can take a boat to islands such as Jibei Island, Xianjiao Island, and Mudou Island. Chihkan is the hub for marine recreational activities where nearby islands offer snorkeling, coral reef sightseeing, and water sledding. Chihkan Pier is also a key port for catching sandfish, with the sandfish season in Penghu running from April to September, during which the annual Chihkan Sandfish Festival is held, and you can participate in sandfish catching experience activities. There are also several must-see attractions in Chihkan. The first is the Longde Temple, which enshrines Nezha, a deity whose worship is very popular and serves as the faith center for the residents of Chihkan Village, with many legendary tales surrounding Nezha. The second attraction is an old house located at the foot of the slope in front of the North Sea Visitor Center, which has a century-old well in its courtyard connected to an air-raid shelter, both of which are remarkably well-preserved. The third attraction is a three-faced Shigandang located to the south of the North Sea Visitor Center, which is quite rare in design. It is said that the Dog Head Rock above was once broken, angering the local deity, and later, villagers requested the perpetrator to apologize to the deity and repair the Dog Head Rock, while also establishing the three-faced Shigandang below to suppress evil spirits. From then on, the three-faced Shigandang protects the village from the strong northeast monsoon.
