The Penghu Living Museum is an open-air museum that recreates a traditional Penghu village, allowing visitors to experience the island's architectural and cultural heritage firsthand. The museum features several fully furnished coral-stone houses, known as 'tsang-tshu,' which showcase the ingenious use of local materials to withstand typhoons. Visitors can wander through narrow lanes, peek into homes furnished with period pieces, and watch demonstrations of traditional crafts like fishing-net mending and oyster-shell carving. It offers a vivid glimpse into the resilient lifestyle of Penghu's past.
