EP88 Penghu, Qimei Island | Stolen Weapons

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 [https://locguy.com/f/%E6%BE%8E%E6%B9%96%E7%B8%A3/%E4%B8%83%E7%BE%8E%E9%84%89] Food: Qimei Fresh Seafood [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E7%8F%BE%E6%92%88%E6%B5%B7%E9%AE%AE]

EP87 Penghu, Xiyu | Praying for Rain

Episode 87 stays in Penghu and crosses the great bridge to Xiyu — the westernmost of the main islands. At Daguoye village, a wall of hexagonal basalt columns rises twenty metres high, formed hundreds of thousands of years ago when volcanic lava cooled slowly into perfect six-sided pillars. At Waian Fishing Harbor on the far western tip, the sunset drops straight into the sea with nothing in the way. Over crispy hand-pounded cuttlefish balls, crumbly peanut candy, and fresh-caught seafood, we follow Sun Wukong as he discovers why a county has had no rain for three years — and goes all the way to Heaven to argue for people he's never met. Location: Xiyu Township, Penghu [https://locguy.com/f/%E6%BE%8E%E6%B9%96%E7%B8%A3/%E8%A5%BF%E5%B6%BC%E9%84%89] Food: Cuttlefish Balls [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E8%8A%B1%E6%9E%9D%E4%B8%B8] | Peanut Candy [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E8%90%BD%E8%8A%B1%E7%94%9F%E9%85%A5] | Fresh Seafood [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E7%8F%BE%E6%92%88%E6%B5%B7%E9%AE%AE]

EP86 Penghu, Baisha/Huxi | Pigsy Saves the Day

Episode 86 continues our stay in Penghu, heading north from Magong to Baisha and Huxi townships. At Kuibi Mountain, the famous "Moses Parting the Sea" phenomenon reveals a tidal walkway between the headland and a small islet when the tide drops — a path through the ocean that disappears in hours. Then we cross the Penghu Cross-Sea Bridge, where the wind blows so hard you feel like you're flying. Over a bowl of small squid vermicelli and a plate of sea urchin scrambled with egg, we reach one of the most surprising moments in Journey to the West — the episode where Pigsy, of all people, saves everyone. Location: Baisha Township, Penghu [https://locguy.com/f/%E6%BE%8E%E6%B9%96%E7%B8%A3/%E7%99%BD%E6%B2%99%E9%84%89] Food: Small Squid Vermicelli [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E5%B0%8F%E7%AE%A1%E9%BA%B5%E7%B7%9A] | Sea Urchin Stir-fry [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E6%B5%B7%E8%86%BD%E7%82%92%E8%9B%8B]

EP85 Penghu, Magong City | When the Team Falls Apart

Episode 85 flies us to Penghu — the wind-swept archipelago in the Taiwan Strait. Magong City is the capital: home to the Tianhou Temple, one of the oldest Mazu temples in all of Taiwan with over four hundred years of history, and the Guanyin Pavilion seawall where the sunset over the Xiyu Bridge is Penghu's most iconic view. Over vivid purple-red cactus ice cream made from wild prickly pear fruit and crispy hand-pounded cuttlefish balls, we follow Sun Wukong and Pigsy as they fall into jealousy and bickering, lose track of their real enemy, and have to swallow their pride and work together when Tang Monk is kidnapped while they're arguing.

EP84 New Taipei Jinshan/Wanli | The City That Got Shaved

Episode 84 takes us along the North Coast to Wanli's Yehliu Geopark, where millions of years of erosion have carved the rock into bizarre mushroom-shaped formations including the famous Queen's Head, and onward to Jinshan Old Street where the duck rice stalls draw lines down the block. Over plates of tender Jinshan duck and sweet roasted sweet potatoes from the local fields, we follow one of the funniest chapters in all of Journey to the West: a city called "Dharma-Destroying Kingdom" where the king has vowed to kill ten thousand monks, Sun Wukong uses his powers to shave every single head in the city in one night, and the king wakes up to find himself and his entire court bald — and has to reckon with what he's been doing. Location: Jinshan District, New Taipei [https://locguy.com/f/%E6%96%B0%E5%8C%97%E5%B8%82/%E9%87%91%E5%B1%B1%E5%8D%80] Food: Jinshan Duck Rice [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E9%B4%A8%E8%82%89] | Jinshan Sweet Potato [https://locguy.com/explore/food?q=%E5%9C%B0%E7%93%9C]
