From Magong, follow County Road 203 towards Xiyou Township. Between Cihsi and Chima, by the western shore of Chima Village and the southern coast of Cihsi Village, along an industrial road leading to Xuezizi Tail (a coastal erosion platform), the Candle Platform Four Scenery is nearby. To reach it, descend a steep, sloping private road—this area is secluded and privately owned. After traversing the downhill path, you’ll encounter a shaded resting area formed by several tall trees, with wooden tables/chairs and stone tables/chairs inside. Before you stretches an endless expanse of blue sea; you can overlook Chima Beach and Nei’an Recreational Area. During low tide, a large stone fish trap appears to the right. Enjoying the mesmerizing seascape and tranquil ambiance here is truly invigorating. Here lies a miraculous Guan Di Temple. After passing through the woods, you’ll see a tin-roofed structure enclosing an older small shrine. The temple houses statues of Emperor Wen Chang (God of Literature), Emperor Guan (Guan Tai), and the Earth God. Intriguingly, the image of Emperor Guan is said to grow a real beard, with wall inscriptions documenting his beard’s growth and Emperor Wen Chang’s birthday. This temple originated from a stranded image of Emperor Guan Tai salvaged from the sea. The landowner erected a shrine there, planting flowers and trees to create a rare “coastal garden” in Penghu, sharing this blessed site where Emperor Guan Tai is venerated. A memorial stone plaque within the area inscribes a four-scenery poem: “Neian’s white sands gleam like silver / Candle Platforms green shores drum waves’ edge / Coarse reefs and temple shade welcome guests / Large stone nets capture seasonal treasures.” This refers to the beach, seawave patterns, temple, and stone nets. The name “Candle Platform” derives from columnar basalt formations resembling candlelike pillars exposed during low tide. 【Suggested Duration】 0.5 hours
