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.

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.

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.
