South Penghu Marine National Park

South Penghu Marine National Park is a marine protected area established in 2014 in the southern Penghu Islands of Taiwan. The park encompasses four main islands Dongjiyu, Xijiyu, Dongyupingyu, and Xiyupingyu, along with several smaller islets and their surrounding marine waters totaling approximately 358 square kilometers. This marine park represents one of Taiwan's newest national parks and is managed by the Marine National Park Headquarters. The islands feature dramatic columnar basalt formations, sea caves including the famous Blue Cave, and a landscape dotted with abandoned stone houses and traditional wind-protection walls. The surrounding waters are part of the warm Kuroshio Current system, supporting rich coral reef ecosystems and diverse marine life. Once home to thousands of residents, the islands now have only about 50 inhabitants, leaving behind a cultural landscape of historical buildings and temples that add to the park's distinctive character.
