The experience lasted about an hour. Luckily, there were only two of us in our session. After the guide picked us up, he took us directly to the stone weir. After taking photos, we dug for oysters with tools. At first, I was a little scared to eat them raw, but since we were in Penghu, I decided to try it. Surprisingly, they were even less fishy than the cooked oysters I had the day before, with the saltiness of the sea and the natural sweetness of the oysters. Fishing on the stone weir was also fun; you could choose to release the fish you caught or take them home to cook. The waters around Jibei Island were incredibly clear. We cycled past Donglong Beach and lingered there for a long time; it's a very beautiful shell beach.
We rented a car for four consecutive days. The first three days were scorching hot, and the last day it rained heavily. I was quite glad we rented a car, otherwise, all the cyclists we saw along the way would have been soaked to the bone. The best part was that the price wasn't expensive; it was really great value for money. We drove all over Penghu without much gas; the gas cost for four days was less than 1000 NTD.
It was a great trip, and the scenery on the island was worth the risk of seasickness. The only downside was that the motorcycle rental company on Qimei Island had very old vehicles, raising concerns about safety. It felt like they were just doing the bare minimum, as if they were doing something shoddy.
This ocean ranch experience was fantastic! The oysters were fresh, sweet, and plump, and grilling them was very satisfying. The stir-fries on the boat were delicious and visually appealing, with no disappointments whatsoever. Enjoying such a wonderful meal while feeling the sea breeze was truly a relaxing vacation experience. It was a delicious and high-value trip.
