Chimei is located in the southernmost tip of Penghu County, Taiwan, China, and is the southernmost island in the Penghu Archipelago. Originally known as "Dayu", the island was renamed Chimei in honor of the seven women who were martyred in the festival. The island covers an area of about 6.99 square kilometers, and is famous for its unique basalt geological landscape and cultural heritage, such as the Twin Hearts Stone Shanghai. The local economy is based on fishery and tourism and retains a strong Minnan cultural tradition, which is an important part of Penghu National Scenic Area.
Chimei Island has spectacular geological wonders such as basalt sea cliffs and sea-eroded platforms, among which Shuangxin Shihu is known as the most romantic fishing facility and has been listed as a cultural asset. The island is also home to historical and legendary sites such as the Chimei Human Mound and the Looking Glass Stone. During the annual summer sightseeing season, visitors can experience intertidal zone ecology, sea fishing activities, and taste local specialty seafood such as small tube noodle threads and cactus ice.
