Simplified Chinese Japanese English Korean In the harbor bay of Jibai Island, to preserve the traditional stone hut culture, the "Jibai Stone Hut Cultural Museum" was specially established. It is located on the east side of the Jibai Tourist Service Center, serving as a community cultural hall and an alternative museum. The museum was created to consolidate Jibai Island’s stone hut culture, promote stone hut ecology, and enhance scenic value. Stone huts are a hallmark of coral reef net fishing culture, widespread across the Penghu archipelago. The types of stone huts are roughly the same, generally featuring a "hut room" for catching fish and an "extend foot" on both sides. These extend feet are designed in a "coil tail" shape based on the fish’s swimming inertia, allowing fish to enter but not exit, a testament to ancestral wisdom in replenishing fish stocks. Covering about thirty ping, the museum’s displays are divided into static exhibits and multimedia video presentations. The exhibits showcase early village life tools for farming, fishing, and livestock, including stone mills, various jars, and electric soil lamps, totaling over one hundred items. The corridor features models of stone hut people, footprint prints, and scrolls, while the interior showcases the structure, construction, and fishing methods of stone huts, among other things. Additionally, guided tours are offered at each hour to enhance visitors’ understanding of traditional stone hut fishing. Recommended Stay Duration: 1 hour
