One of the seasonal activities in Penghu is Taiwanese Beach Seine (牽罟) which is held at Lintou beach in winter. The activity is carried out by the crowd pulling the fishing net ashore together, and this is a must-try cultural activity in a traditional fishing village.
With the staff’s explanation, Kazuki and Takashi tied gadgets around their waists, hung the rope on the fishing net and fastened them, and then used their waist strength to drive their feet backward. Everyone worked together and moved back until they saw the trail of the fishing net.
