Fume hood

Fume hood

Fume hood is the name of a scenic spot in Penghu, Taiwan. The coast is located opposite Magong harbor. It is known as the "three wonders" of the ancient fishing village together with the spray of water column and the pumping of sea water. Because the coast is columnar basalt, which is eroded by sea water and forms a channel of sea erosion cave, when the sea tide enters the cave, it produces a majestic sound of waves, accompanied by a sound like a wind box blowing, so it is called "wind cabinet listening to the waves". When the wind is strong and the sea water is in high tide, you can also see the spectacle of water column spraying tide.

Local people said that the typical climate feature of Penghu is the strong northeast monsoon from October to March. The average wind speed is more than 8 meters per second. Therefore, the island generally only grows short grass and shrubs, which is quite different from the vegetation style of Taiwan Island. The strong monsoon blows away the pleasure. Penghu is no longer a tourist season in October. The airport of Magong City, where the county government is located, is sparsely populated. Take the bus all the way west, then come to Penghu famous "wind cabinet". The special location and landform make the wind here especially magnificent, just like a huge invisible bellows twitching. People can hardly stand on the beach, but there are still many people who insist on watching the sea against the wind and even fishing there

.

At the top of the mountain on the side of the "wind cupboard", there are the remains of the castle base built by the East India Company to occupy Penghu by force. Penghu island is still full of such relics, such as the Japanese landing site at the right corner of longmenli and the Magong Scarab fort, which proves that it has become an outpost against foreign enemies for many times in history.
