Penghu Old Street Located beside the center of Penghu Kaitai Tianhou Temple, the street is an old street of Penghu, and is also known as the First Street of Penghu. Under the county government's planning, there accumulates many special businesses, so it is worth visiting no matter for its accommodation, food, or ancient relics. Here, you could first notice that at the bottom of the each store gate, there is a piece of stone carved sign, which inscribes what this store engaged in during the Japanese Colonial Period, and what it changed to after the retrocession of Taiwan. This is of historic meaning although we can not actually see the past appearance of the store from the description, we can imagine its flourish during the Japanese Colonial Period. It is a historic relic worth of visiting. Then, don't just focus on buying souvenirs in the old street! There are a few very special historical sites for visitors. First, you can see a very new temple on the left. If you do not look carefully, you can not imagine that this Shihgong Temple has a 327-years history. Originally called as "General Shi Temple" and located at the East of Penghu Hospital today, this Shihgong Temple was established during the reign of Qing Emperor Kangxi (AD 1684) when Shi Lang was given the title of Jinghai Marquis. After the 12th year of the reign of Qing Emperor Daoguang (1832), because it was used to worship soldiers who died in the line of duty, it was renamed as "Shigong Temple" in the 23rd year of the reign of Qing Emperor Daoguang (1843), the soldier of Haitanyou Battalion in Qing Dynasty donated their salary to rebuild the temple. Till 26th year of the Japanese Colonial Period (1896), it was requisitioned as hospital sickroom by Japanese In Taisho 3rd year (1914), it was demolished by the Japanese and was reconstructed into "Penghu Hospital," and Shi Gong Temple and Hai Tan Temple were together moved to the originally Hai Tan Soldier's kitchen for
