Tiantai Mountain

Penghu Attractions

天台山

At an elevation of 53 meters, Tian Tai Mountain is the highest peak of Wangan Island. It is located near the famous文石 (wen stone) production area of Penghu. The surrounding grasslands are flat, with occasional cows and sheep grazing, creating a naturally beautiful landscape. Tian Tai Mountain has become the best viewpoint for overlooking Wangan Island and the nearby Huayu Islet. The rock layers of Tian Tai Mountain are mainly composed of micro porphyritic granite, characterized by sheet-like joints. On the western cliffside, there is a spectacular basalt formation. Following the pathway down to the western coast, one can discover a sea cave that reaches up to 30 meters high. The beauty of the joints in the micro porphyritic granite differs from the columnar basalt formations of Huojing and Tongpan Islands, as Tian Tai Mountain’s interlocking joint patterns create a beautiful "stone flower."
