* The Flower Island Lighthouse

The Flower Island is the westernmost tip of Penghu Archipelagos and a geological abnormality in them. The bottom rock base is probably formed by granite. The surface geology mainly consists of Íj©¥, very different from the basalt rock common in Penghu. ¡@ ¡@

The legendary deity footstep below the east coast cliff is said to be have been left by Deity Tongbin Lyu, whose other footstep is left on the Tientai Mountain on Wanan Island. ¡@ ¡@

The lighthouse on the island's northwest tip lights up more than ten nautical miles of the ocean and has been called the "Light of Flower Island."

*Birds on Cat Island

The Cat Island is an uninhabited island in the southwest waters of Penghu. It consists of the Big Cat Island and the Little Cat Island. Viewed from afar, they resemble two cats looking at each other, and thus named accordingly. The highest point of 79 meters above sea level at the southwest tip is the highest point of the Penghu Archipelagos.¡@ ¡@

This island is the habitat of over ten thousand swallow gulls, most of them white brow swallow gulls and dark swallow gulls. When the gulls take to the sky, their wingspans cover the sky and their voices sound like thunder. It is a rare bird paradise in the world, and has been designated as a sea bird reservation area by the Penghu County Government.

*The Virtuous Souls of Seven Beauties

Chimei Island used to be called the Big Island. It is the southernmost island of Penghu. There is a pan-island roadway, making the traffic very convenient. The Nanfu Port is the most prosperous place in Chimei, similar to a "little Mukung." The Nanfu Lighthouse is the southernmost lighthouse of Penghu.¡@ ¡@

There is a beautiful story about this island. The Seven Beauty Tomb is the relics of this story of virtue. As the story goes, Japanese came upon this island at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. At the time, there were seven young ladies washing clothes by a well. Trying to avoid being harassed by the Japanese, they plunged into the well one after another. The local people filled the well to make a tomb for them. Later on, seven ¬KÝß¾ðgrew from the well with green foliage all year round and perfumed flowers. ¡@

Chimei used to be nicknamed the "widow's island". There is a reef extending from the coast underneath the Nanfu Lighthouse in the shape of a woman lying flat, which is the Wanfu Rock. Legend has it that a woman waiting for her loved one to come home from a fishing trip turned into the rock. Though the story may not be true, it tells the hardship of earning a living as a fisherman in the days bygone. ¡@

The Tingfong Wonder is located on the north coast of Chimei. The wide surface area was barren due to strong winds and rain all year round, resembling the "Moon World" in Taiwan. There is a stone-enclosed fishing area in the shallow waters nearby. It is made into a dual heart shape by stacking stones. The graceful shape is actually a primitive facility for catching fish.

* Tienho Temple
Tienho Temple is the earliest established temple of Machu-the guardian goddess of fishermen. It tops the list of relics in Mukung. It was built in 1592 to worship Machu. In 1595, the Empyreal Court of Ching Dynasty approved the proposal of a governor to grant Machu the title of Tienho. Thus the temple is also called Tienho Temple. ¡@ ¡@

The temple was built by famous architects from the Tangshan area. Every part of the temple, including the wall edge, hallway pillars, arch, wood shield, window frame and wall decorations is made with the utmost refined style. Besides, not even one single nail was used in the entire structure. It is the utmost artistic presentation of styling and sculpture. The temple was restored in 1985 to present a new style.

There is also a tablet in memory of Yojong Sheng's success in persuading Dutch invaders to retreat, which is also the earliest tablet found in Taiwan area. At present, the tablet is displayed in the Chingfong Room on the second floor. The tablet was honored by a nine-dragon golden frame given by Emperor Kanghsi, on which says "Same contribution as from Heaven," making it the first grade relic of R.O.C. and the treasure of Penghu.

* Shekung Temple

It is located in downtown Makung on Central Street. Built in Emperor Kanghsi's rule in Ching Dynasty, it is now listed as the third grade relic of R.O.C. The temple worships the idol of Shelang, who served as the Shueishe Governor and contributed a great deal to the Ching Dynasty. The temple was built in his memory and renamed Shekung Temple in the 23rd year of Emperor Taokuang's rule.

* Wanchuan Well

It is located in downtown Makung on Central Street. Originally named Makung Big Well, or Shechuan Well, it is located right across from Tienho Temple. In 1683, Shelang landed on Makung with his army, but soldiers could not find fresh water to drink. Shelang prayed to Goddess Machu for water. Later on, enough sweet spring did come out of the big well to quench the thirst of ten thousand soldiers. Hence, the well is called Wanchuan-"ten thousand soldiers" in Chinese-Well.
