They’re called Paisha (White Sand Island) and Hsiyu (West Island). Paisha’s most famous attraction is a large banyan tree (dà róngshù or tōngliáng gǔróng) over 300 years old.

The 14th International Convention will be held in Penghu this year, marking an important milestone for Penghu as it leaps onto the world stage. The first ever “Penghu Chrysanthemum Island Cross-sea Marathon” was held last year and left runners full of praise for the unrivalled scenery and winding coastline of Penghu. This is also the only road race out of all road races in Penghu throughout the entire year to be a one-way race that does not circle back to the starting point, so the scenery does not get repeated along the way. The classic route begins from Siyu Township for an island-hopping, cross-sea experience, passing through Paisha Township and Husi Township, and leading back to the main island. en April 17, 2020 Chun-yi (zh 盧俊義) Lu Donations reflect a charitable past https://web.archive.org/web/20200420021544/https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2020/04/17/2003734761 20 April 2020 w:Taipei Times When the Camillians first arrived in Penghu, there was no proper road for traffic between Magong and Paisha Township (zh 白沙鄉).
