Chi-May(七美) (part one)



This week, I’m going to introduce Chi-May(七美), which located on the south part of Penghu. And I will put the point on the special natural scenery. The first interesting place is the Chi-May tomb(七美人塚), which was built in memory of seven beautiful girls. When it was Ming-dynasty(明朝),  There were many pirates often attacked there. One day, when the male residents all left for fishing, the pirates came. Most of the females, the children, and the old people hide into the cave in time, but it’s a pity that there were seven girls they didn’t made it to rush into the cave. So, they were found and surrounded by the pirates. The pirates wanted to offense them. And the seven girls, determining to guard their chastity, committed suicide by jumping into the well. When the residents came back, it had been too late. So, to commemorate these seven girl’s spirits, the residents filled the well with the soil, and built a tomb on it. There is one more thing magical about the tomb. After the tomb was built, seven trees germinated on it. So, people believe that the trees are the seven girls’ spirits, and they will live forever. That’s my introduce about Chi-May this time, next time, I will introduce more spots of Chi-May, I hope you will like it!

Shou-men(小門)


Last time, someone suggested that I can introduce some delicious food. So, this week, I am going to introduce Shou-men(小門), which I think has very special and delicious food. Shou-men got its name because on the east side of the village lay a rock with a small interstice through which the residents used to come in out, just like a natural small door, that’s why people call it Shou-men. The most popular spot in Shou-men is The Whale Hall(鯨魚洞), it’s a hall erosioned by the sea, and the shape of the hall looks like a big whale, that’s why people call it The Whale Hall. The last but not the least, the food! There are many yummy food, but there is one thing that I never leave there without eating it. The first one is the cactus ice cream mix with the melon ice cream, the cactus taste a little bit sour and the melon taste sweet, the two thing mixed taste really wonderful!

吉貝

Hi everyone. This week, I am going to introduce Gi-bay(吉貝), where i grew up. It is a very small island with the sea around it, and it't over the north part of Penghu(澎湖). Its most popular tourism spot is a very wonderful and long beach which called Shaway(沙尾), it get the name because when you look from up to down,it looks just like the tail of the island. The residents there largely make their living from tourism. The most popular tourism activity is water sports(水上活動), such as sorkeling(浮潛), banana boat(香蕉船) (Don't be doubtful,it's really a big banana what you sit on) and so on. It's really a beautyful place where you can forget all your worries and have a lot of fun, so next time, if you have a chance to go there, don't miss it!
