Penghu is located in the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and China. Both taking an airplane and a boat are very convenient ways to get to Penghu. Below we will show you how.
By plane
There are two airlines, Uni and Mandarin, that fly to Penghu from Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and other big cities in Taiwan. If you want to fly to Penghu you could either book Uni or Mandarin.
By ferry
You can also take a boat to Penghu. By sea, you can not only enjoy the view but also feel the sea breeze on your face. It only takes you 80 minutes to get to Penghu’s main island, so it is not long at all. The closest port to Penghu is located in Chiayi, which is in the central part of Taiwan. If you are traveling in Taiwan now, I suggest you take the 80-minute boat ride to Penghu.
