the total area of penghu bay is 126.8641㎞? The county consists of Penghu Island and 64 surrounding islands, collectively known as Penghu Islands, and is the only county in Taiwan Province that is entirely composed of islands.

the penghu islands are located in the southwest of Taiwan Province strait (119 37.8' east longitude and 23 34.2' north latitude). It was called "Pinghu" in ancient times and now has a population of about 9,. It consists of 64 islands, 44 of which are uninhabited islands, and Magong is the largest island. Others are Xiyu, Baisha, Wangan and Qimei in turn.

The volcanic activity and crustal movement in Penghu have created a wonderful geological landscape in Penghu. The submarine volcano erupts basalt flow, which is eroded by the fluctuation of the sea surface for many times, such as basalt columnar rocks and sea erosion platforms. According to geologists' research, the rocks in Penghu Islands are lava platforms composed of basalt flows. After millions of years of seawater erosion and the rise and fall of rock plates, today's landscape is formed.
