Due to its early development, Penghu is abundant in human assets and historic sites. The places where former inhabitants gathered together have become the important resources of field investigations and local historic studies.

Chungyang Streets in Makung City is the most ancient street in Penghu. However, dating back to the Japanese Occupation period, the occidental styles of architecture gradually replaced the original circumstances of buildings. Therefore, the public and the government are planning to maintain the ancient houses and shops that still remain in Penghu.

Refined by time and coupled with the ancient and simple impression, Shiyu Erkan Hamlet and Wangan Chungse Hamlet display their antique and peerless complexions.

Erkan preserves an ancient house, more than 100 years, which belongs to a Chen family. The house decorating with stone engraving, clay sculpture and painting displays its grace and elegance. Chungse Ancient Residence Area, the only relic of a group residence in Penghu, inspires romantic thoughts of ancient times.

Chinshih's Residence, the 3rd-class national historic site, was built in 1844 by the Tsai family after Tsai Ting-lan, the only Chinshih (holder of the highest academic degree in imperial China) of Penghu, was granted his official degree.

Chang Paiwan's Old Residence is located in Watung Village, Paisha Hsiang. It was built by Chang Paiwan who was granted the name ''General's Residence'' when his offspring was appointed as a general.
