Cimei七美

Spend 1–2 days on Cimei for the lighthouse, stone tomb, and coastal walks; longer only for relaxed beach time.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Cimei is a small Penghu township with a handful of historic sites, a lighthouse, a stone fish trap and a few seaside eateries. Its attractions are close together, so a single day covers the highlights; an extra night lets you enjoy sunrise at the lighthouse and unwind on the beach.

This is a basic guide for Cimei: no airport-to-bed path, walking clusters or day plans yet. Fares and schedules here are unverified. What this page does cover
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.

Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
