Xiao Men Geological Exploration Museum Introduction
The Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum underwent its third renovation in July 2020 and reopened at the end of January 2021, being renamed as the Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum. The museum showcases a prehistoric landscape incorporating geological features with audio-visual effects. It is divided into six main areas: Entrance Experience Service Area, Deep Sea Rocks Area, Egg-shaped Projection Area, Dinosaur and Plant Models Scenic Area, Basalt Introduction Wall, and Exit Exhibition Area. Xiaomen Islet is located to the north of Xiyu (Fisherman Island) in Penghu County, covering an area of 0.5121 square kilometers. It becomes an independent island after high tide and is often referred to as the "Pearl of Haomen" due to its proximity to the Haomen Current. Subsequently, the Xiaomen Bridge (the cross-sea bridge) was built to connect with Xiyu, where the Penghu National Scenic Area Administration established parking lots, circular walking paths, and other related facilities, making it a well-known scenic area in Penghu County. The name Xiaomen derives from a small path located east of Xiaomen Village that runs between basalt cliffs, which residents of the village historically used to access the area. The path looks like a door from a distance, hence the name Xiaomen. Visitor Information for Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum: 1.
