Travelers planning summer vacations will soon have a new option. The tourism ferry connecting Anping in Tainan and Magong in Penghu will begin service on June 30. Round-trip sailings will operate every Tuesday and Friday during the summer vacation period, with a travel time of about 2.5 hours.
The service period coincides with major summer events, including the Penghu International Fireworks Festival and Tainan's General's Roar Music Festival. Travelers can use the sea route to visit both destinations during the holiday season.
The Anping-Magong route will operate from June through August, with sailings between Anping Commercial Port and Magong Commercial Port every Tuesday and Friday. Tainan also offers a marine tourism route from Jiangjun Fishing Port to the Penghu Southern Four Islands.
The General's Roar Music Festival is scheduled for August. Ferry schedules, fares and ticket information are available through the official channels of Shuangji Fortune Ferry and partner travel agencies.
