Xiao Men Geological Exploration Museum Introduction
The Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum underwent its third renovation in July 2020, reopening with a new name in late January 2021. This museum combines a prehistoric ambiance with geological exhibitions, featuring sound and light multimedia displays. It is divided into six main areas: Entry Imagery Service Area, Deep Sea Rock Area, Egg-shaped Projection Area, Dinosaur and Plant Model Landscape Area, Basalt Introduction Wall, and Exit Display Area. Xiaomen Islet is located north of Xiyu (also known as Fisherman's Island) in Penghu County, covering an area of 0.5121 square kilometers. During high tide, it becomes a standalone island, and due to its proximity to the turbulent currents of the Huangmen Strait, it is nicknamed "The Pearl of Huangmen." A bridge, known as the Xiaomen Bridge, connects it to Xiyu, and the Penghu Administration has constructed a parking lot and circular walking path, turning it into a popular scenic area in Penghu County. The name "Xiaomen" derives from a trail located east of Xiaomen Village, which runs between basalt cliffs. Historically, the residents of Xiaomen Village accessed this path, which appears like a door from a distance, leading to the naming of this place as Xiaomen.
