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, renamed as the Xiaomen Geological Exploration Museum. The museum showcases geological features through audiovisual presentations in a prehistoric setting and 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. Xiaomen Island is located on the northern side of Xiyu (also known as Fisherman's Island) in Penghu County, covering an area of 0.5121 square kilometers, and becomes an independent island during high tide. Due to its proximity to the Haomen Current, it is poetically referred to as the "Pearl of Haomen." Xiaomen Bridge was subsequently built to connect it to Xiyu, and the Penghu National Scenic Area Administration has established parking lots and circular walking trails, making it a famous scenic area in Penghu County. The name Xiaomen derives from a small path to the east of Xiaomen Village, which runs between basalt cliffs. In ancient times, residents of Xiaomen Village would use this path, which, when viewed from a distance, resembled a door, hence the name Xiaomen.
