Taiwan 09-29-2011


Before 6:30 in the morning, we were heading to a little port to see sunrise.  It was a beautiful morning with a little cloud.  


We then went to a little fish market.  The fishes were so fresh and just out of from fish boats.  Many locals were gathering in the morning and buying fishes.

After breakfast, my friend and I just rode around Makung.   We got in a very small alley and saw the locals drying their fishes on racks.  

Last stop in Penghu was Fenggui Cave (風櫃洞).  Fenggui Cave is not just to see, but also listen.  To listen to the waves at Fenggui Cave is a well-known activity in Penghu. Fenggui Cave is an abrasion ditch eroded by the waves and a sea hole at the bottom of the abrasion ditch due to erosion. From the sea hole, there is an opening that goes up to the ground following the joint fissure, so that every time the tide rises, the waves will pour into the abrasion ditch, push the air inside the sea hole, and gush out the opening along the joint fissure carrying some sea water, making a howling sound, just like the noise made by a wind pumper.  

In these 4 days in Penghu, we saw the beautiful scenery, clean air, and the small-town locals.   

Oh! By the way, the public restrooms are very clean.  

Penghu is a very nice place to visit.
