Penghu is the largest offshore island in Taiwan, so traveling to Penghu is very convenient. You can fly to Penghu from Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Chiayi, and Kaohsiung. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour to fly to Penghu. It will arrive soon. You can also take a boat from Chiayi, Taichung, and Kaohsiung by boat. It takes about an hour to two hours, which is slower than taking the plane, but it’s very cheap!

澎湖的旁邊有很多的小島,所以人們會坐船去不一樣的地方玩,除了坐船去不一樣的小島,澎湖還有一座跨海大橋,它是台灣最長的一座橋,你也可以從那裡去到旁邊的白沙(Báishā)島。

There are many small islands around Penghu, so people will go to different islands by boat. In addition to going to different islands by boat, Penghu also has a cross-sea bridge. It is the longest bridge in Taiwan. You can go to Baisha Island, which is next to the main island.

夏天到澎湖去玩,一定要試試看好吃的仙人掌冰,吃了仙人掌冰以後,你可以去七美(Qīměi)島看有名的「雙心石滬shuāngxīnshíhù」,又美麗又有意思,除了雙心石滬,還有玄武岩,晚上去看玄武岩,還可以看到許多的星星,最後,去澎湖不要忘記一定要去看海裡的「薰衣草森林」,有很多的魚和珊瑚,真的非常漂亮!

If you go to Penghu in summer, you must try the delicious cactus ice cream. After eating cactus ice cream, you can go to Qimei Island to see the famous “Twin-Hearts Stone Weir” (shuāngxīnshíhù), which is beautiful and interesting. Except for the Twin-Hearts Stone Weir, there is also basalt. If you go to see the basalt at night, you can see the starry sky. Last, when you visit Penghu, don’t forget to see “Lavender Forest” in the sea. There are many fish and corals. It is really beautiful!
