Qimei Island Double Heart and Little Taiwan Penghu
七美 （雙心石滬，小台灣）
Qimei Island Tour (Penghu, Taiwan)
Qimei ranks the fifth largest island in the Penghu Archipelago. After handover of Taiwan to the Kuomintang, the island was renamed to Qimei or Cimei in 1949 to commemorate a historical story from the Ming Dynasty in which seven women committed suicide when Japanese pirates raided the island. The maiden jumped into a well which later grew into 7 rare Catalpa Bungei trees.
By the island, there is a reef rock protruding from the sea which is in the shape of an expecting woman. Legend has it that on the island there once lived a sweet couple. One day, the husband went out fishing and then died at sea. Unable to bear the sorrow, the wife jumped into the sea to commit suicide. After several years, the rock near the coast miraculously formed into the shape of an expecting woman.
The Double-heart of Stacked Stones or the Twin-Heart Fish Trap is a stone fishing weir located on the north side of Qimei Township. It is a well-preserved ancient fish trap made by stacking stones to form a trap that resembles a flying heart.

We visited places on the main island and the smaller islands of Qimei and Wang'an. Unfortunately an approaching typhoon messed up our original plan of visiting another island, Jibei. We rented scooters which is the best way to get around. The double heart stone weir was indeed beautiful, the whale cave was impressive too. There was less people on the fine sand beach than we expected. Overall a nice trip.

Travel in Taiwan (2015, 9/10)
By Rick Charette
We woke up bright and early this day to catch an early-morning ferry to Qimei, the southernmost South Sea island. Hopping on scooters right at the pier (rental included in ferry-ticket price), we headed out on the very quiet coastal road – more goats than cars. Qimei’s iconic symbol is the Twin Hearts Stone Weir, made of stones piled laboriously, which fills at high tide and leaves fish stranded at low. The Tomb of the Seven Beauties – “Qimei” means “Seven Beauties” – is built around a well down which seven chaste Ming Dynasty maidens are said to have thrown themselves on the approach of nasty-intent Japanese pirates. Among the other must-visit Qimei attractions we checked off our to-do list were the picturesque Little Taiwan and Waiting for Husband Rock, two coastal rock formations viewed from above.
Rather than traveling straight back to Magong, we stopped off at Wang’an for a few hours’ exploration of this island. The highlights of our meander along the sleepy round-island coastal road? Tiantai Hill and the village of Zhongshe. Your walk up Tiantai Hill, the island’s highest point, leads to wonderful panoramic views over Wang’an and its numerous nearby islands. Wonderful Zhongshe is an old narrow-lane fishing village, almost all homes stone/coral-built. Be sure to stop in for the homemade ice-cream at the shop – shade is at a premium in the village – under the huge Penghu-renowned “Wang’an Township Tree,” an Indian almond tree planted by the shop owner’s mother in 1928.
Penghu is home to many long, fine-sand beaches. Four of the most popular are on the island of Penghu’s south side – Lintou, Aimen, Shanshui, and Shili. On the morn of this day we visited each in turn. I especially like Lintou and Shanshui. Lintou and Aimen are connected by a long beach-edge boardwalk; behind Lintou Beach is Lintou Park, a shady, aesthetically laid-out tree park in which you can sit yourself down to alfresco coffee at a bright and breezy café. At Shanshui’s entrance is a bustling cluster of beach-bum-style eateries and cafés, and backing its west side is an attractive protected lagoon area traversed in part by a long boardwalk. This leads to a high promontory that drops into the surf at the beach’s west end. Topped with a large lookout, formerly part of an off-limits military zone, the promontory is dotted with abandoned camouflaged bunkers, pillboxes, and other facilities, one outfitted with heritage photos and information boards (Chinese) on this spot’s military and ecological past.
Near Shili, pretty much at Penghu’s southwest tip, is the compelling, still-being-developed Qingwan Cactus Park. There are two foci. Cacti, yes – the archipelago’s dry, flattish, windswept environment is perfect for cactus growth. And military history – the park site is a former Japanese military base rich in ruins, notably hidden big-gun emplacements, bunker barracks, and command posts.

You probably already know what Taiwan looks like but do you know that there is also a little Taiwan in Chimei? In the eyes of Chimei residents, Taiwan is just a small island. From a very special spot in Chimei, if you look down you will see a Little Taiwan. It is a wave-eroded platform located on Chimeis northeast coast. Chimeis Little Taiwan is 99 % similar to Taiwan. You can also enjoy the wonder of nature while looking at Little Taiwan.
