To truly experience Penghu, you need the freedom of your own ride! Whether you’re looking to rent a scooter or a car, Liuhe Car Rental is an excellent choice. They offer complimentary airport pickup, so you’ll be greeted as soon as you land. The entire rental process, from pickup to getting your vehicle, is smooth and efficient, with dedicated staff assisting you every step of the way, making it incredibly time-saving. The service is top-notch. The vehicle we received was brand new and rode smoothly throughout our trip, with no issues like overly sensitive brakes. We especially commend their phone holder—it was incredibly stable and sturdy, so there was no worry about our phone flying off mid-ride. Highly recommended!

For the most unique brunch in Penghu, 小島家 is the place to be. They specialize in incorporating local ingredients into their dishes, and the set meals are generously portioned, so you won't leave hungry. The coffee and other beverages are also delicious; we especially recommend their signature "小島特調" drinks for a unique and refreshing twist. But the most distinctive feature of 小島家 is actually its dining environment. Designed with an eco-friendly theme, the decor is both meaningful and casually stylish—you're sure to feel it when you visit. Spend a leisurely morning accompanied by two adorable resident dogs.

Located in Fenggui Village, Magong City, Fenggui Cave is a natural wonder in this ancient fishing village.

LANKA is a beachfront venue with prime views of the famous Shili Beach. It's the perfect spot for a light afternoon meal, where you can soak in the stunning ocean scenery and enjoy the air conditioning to beat the heat. The menu features a surprising and delicious Penghu-exclusive pickled cabbage pizza — definitely worth trying! After your meal, a stroll along the beach is a perfect way to round out a relaxing afternoon.

When in Penghu, you simply must feast on seafood! 365 BBQ is renowned for its charcoal-grilled fare, attracting both tourists and locals alike. This all-you-can-eat venue charges per person, offering a spread that includes not only pork, chicken, and beef, but also an array of fresh oysters and squid — absolute must-tries. Don't miss the small cuttlefish and chicken wings either! 365 BBQ also serves braised pork rice, and occasionally offers crab and various fish. And no BBQ is complete without the right drinks: here you'll find Penghu's unique wind-herb tea, several craft beers from Nantou's "Tsai's Brewery," starfruit juice, and more. You're guaranteed to leave feeling completely satisfied!

If you're looking for expert Japanese cuisine in Penghu, you're in luck. Ajira Sushi is tucked away in a corner of Beichen Market, where the staff meticulously explain the menu and the day's ingredients, allowing you to order exactly what you like. Most diners prefer to sit at the counter, watching the chef expertly slice fish and prepare sushi — it's quite a captivating show! That day, I tried the sashimi platter, seafood rice bowl, chawanmushi, miso soup, and the unique Teppo Maki, all of which were impressive. Overall, the food was delicious and the prices were reasonable.

After dinner, a bowl of Purple Jade Grass Jelly is a must! Just be warned, the portions are huge, so if you're really having it after a meal, consider sharing one bowl between two people. Purple Jade Grass Jelly offers over 30 toppings to choose from. Their most classic "Eight Immortals Ice" features black ice made from grass jelly itself, giving it a unique flavor. It's truly a dessert you can't miss when you visit Penghu, so be sure to give it a try!

While the pastries and drinks at Jilin Spring might look unassuming, they are surprisingly delicious. Parents can enjoy a light snack and ocean views here, while children play on the nearby Lintou Beach, making for a delightful family afternoon!

Daisy House is a rare find in Penghu: a refined international restaurant that also has venues in Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung. What makes the Penghu venue special is its exclusive seafood dishes. If you're looking for a comfortable, air-conditioned venue with delicious food, Daisy House is an excellent choice. We especially recommend their pasta and risotto; the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous, making it perfect for those in Penghu craving a taste of international cuisine.

The Penghu Ocean Fireworks Festival is Penghu's biggest annual event, and the fireworks show is truly spectacular. Those ten-plus minutes of watching the fireworks in person are genuinely breathtaking and moving; seeing it on a screen or in a phone photo doesn't capture even a fifth of the real experience. We highly recommend everyone go and experience the Fireworks Festival at least once!

The winding seawall that stretches into the sea is a mysterious and beautiful sight, and Paradise Road is a venue where timing your visit with the tides is crucial.

Another long-standing classic in Penghu is Yuguan Tender Grass Jelly, a must-try venue that specializes in grass jelly-based desserts and shaved ice. A bowl of their grass jelly is incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day! We recommend their grass jelly shaved ice, grass jelly pudding, and grass jelly drinks for absolute coolness in the summer heat.

OK BBQ is a reliable choice where you never have to worry about quality — everything is truly OK! Beyond the plump oysters that are a must-have for Penghu BBQ, the cooked food section even features traditional local taro and seafood congee, showing incredible care. The semi-open environment is very clean, with minimal smoke, so you won't leave smelling like a BBQ. Vegetables and fried items are constantly refilled, ensuring you can eat to your heart's content!
