Penghu County reads its landscapes and lived experience through karst peaks and mountain villages.
Within the regional setting of Taiwan, the spatial identity of Penghu County is first captured by this local fact: “Karst peaks and mountain villages.” It points to an observable local combination in which the setting of Penghu County is shaped by both environment and lived practice. Historical development brought natural conditions and human activity into repeated negotiation, leaving traces in settlement, routes, and memory. Specific places and continuing lives turn a broad regional relationship into experience that can be observed and checked. The meaning of Penghu County rests in specific places and continuing life, not only in its name or formal classification.
