Penghu’s Kuibi Mountain and Chi Islet feature a unique terrain where a gravel pathway connects the two islands during low tide, resembling the biblical “parting of the Red Sea.” To enhance marine landscape conservation and safety awareness, the Penghu National Scenic Area Administration has organized eight interactive sessions starting today (the 8th). Street performer “Uncle Shark” will dress as Moses, interacting with visitors, performing magic balloon art, and singing songs.

The administration reminds visitors that this area is where ocean currents converge, and the strong tides during high tide create dangerous pulling forces. Therefore, the Penghu National Scenic Area Administration has introduced a “drum and gong” signal system to indicate tide times, helping to prevent accidents. Performance groups have also been invited to promote marine environment and resource protection, urging everyone to care for the environment, avoid picking up or breaking rocks in the reef areas, and pay attention to the safety of the elderly and young children based on their physical abilities.
