Photos of Peng Hu Island, Taiwan

I made a trip to Taiwan, Peng Hu Island (彭湖岛) for a short trip.  I arrive in Taipei on Monday, Oct 25 and stay 1 night in Taipei and leaving for Peng Hu Island the next morning.  We took a domestic flight form Taipei Song Shan Airport (松山机场) to Peng Hu domestic - Ma Gong Airport (马宫机场).  The flight takes about 1 hour.


This is the first time I have sat of a small plane.  It can seat about 50 passengers.  My friend brother was teasing me about having to cover my ears throughout the journey.  I did not know what he meant till I sat in the plane and it starts taking off.  I was sitting next to the wing and the sound by the engine was very noisy.  I practically have to cover my ears with my jacket throughout the journey.


But it was an experience like you are living in the 60s of Singapore where you see movies of people arriving in plane and have to use the steel staircase to climb up and down.



Highlight of the Island :
Visit to the old house of an old singer of the 70s - Pan An Bang (潘安邦)  and the late singer Zhang Yu Sheng (张雨生).  Both live in the island when they are young with their family.
