North Sea Visitor Center Introduction
As of October 2023, reconstruction has been temporarily suspended, and the original service unit has been 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 must go to the North Sea Visitor Center located in Chihkan Village to purchase boat tickets. From Chihkan Harbor, you can take a boat to Jiabei Island, Xianjiao Island, Mudou Island, and other islands. Chihkan serves as the base for marine leisure activities, and nearby islands offer experiences such as snorkeling, appreciating the coral reef underwater scenery, and water jet skiing. Chihkan Harbor 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 Chihkan Flying Fish Festival is held, and you can participate in flying fish catching experiences. There are also several must-see attractions in Chihkan. The first is the Longde Temple, which is dedicated to Nezha, the Third Prince. It has a thriving incense offering and serves as a spiritual center for the villagers of Chihkan, who also have many legendary tales about the Third Prince. The second attraction is an old house located in front of the North Sea Visitor Center, which features a century-old well in its courtyard that connects to an adjacent air raid shelter, both of which are well-preserved. The third attraction is a three-sided shih-gandeng located south of the North Sea Visitor Center, which is quite rare in style. It is said that the upper dog head rock was broken off, angering the local deity. The villagers later requested that the culprit repent to the deity and repair the dog head rock, while establishing the three-sided shih-gandeng below to suppress the evil energy. Since then, the three-sided shih-gandeng has stood beneath the dog head rock, facing the strong northeast monsoon, blessing the village with peace.
