Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum Introduction

The Little Door Geological Exploration Museum underwent its third renovation in July 2020 and reopened at the end of January 2021, renamed as the Little Door Geological Exploration Museum. The museum combines geological features with audio-visual elements to recreate a prehistoric atmosphere. It is divided into six main areas: Entrance Image Service Area, Deep Sea Rock Area, Egg-Shaped Projection Area, Dinosaur and Plant Model Scenic Area, Basalt Introduction Wall, and Exit Display Area. Little Door Island is located to the north of Xiyu (Fisherman's Island) in Penghu County, covering an area of 0.5121 square kilometers. It becomes an independent island during high tide and is affectionately known as the "Pearl of Haomen" due to its proximity to the Haomen Rapids. Subsequently, the Little Door Bridge was constructed to connect it to Xiyu, and the Penghu Administration has built parking lots, ring road trails, and other related facilities here, making it a famous scenic area in Penghu County. The name "Little Door" originates from a small path located to the east of Little Door Village that runs between two basalt cliffs. In ancient times, residents of Little Door Village had to pass through this path, which appeared like a door from a distance, hence the name.
