A certified member of “The most beautiful bays in the world” club, Penghu archipelago in the Taiwan Strait is the result of constant moving magma below the tectonic plates some 17.4 million years ago.
The Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club was founded in France in 1996 and has since expanded to cover bays in roughly 25 countries, including Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, Yeosu Bay in South Korea and Bodrum in Turkey.
With a 320-kilometre coastline and boasting a landscape of basalt columns, Penghu, which is comprised of 90 islands and islets, has almost everything that urbanites crave for in a break when the hustle and bustle of hectic city life becomes too much. The archipelago covers a total land area of 141 square kilometres, nearly five times the size of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR).
