Situated in the middle of the Taiwan Strait, Penghu consists of 64 islands of different sizes. Because of the flat and seldom varying terrain, the differences among creatures in islands are less and natural resources are rather limited. However, the complicated coastlines, and the gigantic basalt columns and the specific resources of fauna and flora all promote Penghu into an international-class tourism spot.Penghu is the stopover spot for migrating birds. Spring and autumn are the seasons when migratory birds arrive in Penghu. Every summer, more than ten thousand terns breed on Cat Island. Wangan Island is also famous for green turtles laying eggs in the sand. Therefore, the government designated "Seabird Reservation Area" and "Green Turtle Egg Laying Habitat Reservation Area" to protect terns and green turtles. Chishan Island, Tingko Island, and Little Baisha Island are also designated as "Basalt Natural Reservation Areas" for the spectacular basalt scenery.In addition, the specialties of the Penghu seashores, whales, flora and precious ancient trees foster abundant natural resources and history as well as increase the Penghu vitality and impression.
