Major city · Taiwan
Jibei
Spend a half‑day to one full day in Jibei; take the ferry from Baisha, rent a scooter, visit the stone‑weir museum and beach, then return.
Jibei is a small rural township 5.5 km off Penghu Island. With a ferry link, a scooter rental, a cultural museum, a beach park and a go‑kart track, a single day covers the main attractions; an extra night is optional for a relaxed pace.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the online arrival card (TWAC) on the official sites before you fly.
- Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, local trains and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
- Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.
