Jibei Island

The best time to visit Jibei Island is during spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasantly warm and ideal for beach activities. During these seasons, you can enjoy clear skies, calm seas, and vibrant marine life perfect for snorkeling and water sports without the intense summer heat or heavy rains of the monsoon season.

Key attractions on Jibei Island include the stunning Jibei Sand Tail, a unique sandy spit ideal for beach walks and photography. Visitors should also explore the historic Wusheng Temple, reflecting the island’s fishing heritage, and the numerous traditional stone weirs—more than 80 in total, the highest concentration in Penghu. Water activities such as snorkeling, banana boating, and jet skiing offer fun ways to experience the island’s natural beauty.

Travelers typically start their journey to Jibei Island from Magong City on Penghu’s main island. From Magong, take a scooter or taxi to Baisha Island’s North Sea Tourist Centre, then board a short ferry ride to Jibei. Many tour packages include round-trip ferry tickets along with water sports and scooter rentals to explore the island conveniently.

Jibei Island is renowned for its extensive network of stone weirs—traditional fishing traps made from coral stones—dating back centuries. These weirs are culturally significant as they represent ancient fishing techniques still admired today. The island’s fishing history is also embodied in the Wusheng Temple, built by fishermen during the Ming Dynasty, highlighting Jibei’s longstanding maritime heritage.

Visitors often combine a trip to Jibei Island with nearby Baisha Island, where the ferry terminal is located, and Magong City, the cultural and commercial hub of Penghu. Other nearby islands like Xiyu and Zhongtun can also be included in multi-island tours that feature historical sites, scenic views, and additional beaches, providing a well-rounded Penghu archipelago experience.
