EP88 Penghu, Qimei Island | Stolen Weapons

Jun 14, 2026 · 19 min · Ep 88

Episode 88 takes us by ferry to Qimei — the southernmost inhabited island in the Penghu archipelago, over an hour of open sea from Magong. Its famous Double Heart Fish Weir is made of two overlapping heart shapes built from coral stones on the tidal flat, constructed by two villages working together over generations. Over plates of fresh sashimi and small squid straight from the morning boats — Qimei has no supermarkets; you eat what the sea provides — we hear about a kingdom where three princes want to train with legends, and a single night where everything goes wrong.
Location: Qimei Township, Penghu
Food: Qimei Fresh Seafood
