Penghu Islands, Archipelago in Taiwan Strait.
The Penghu archipelago spans 141 square kilometers and consists of 90 islands located 50 kilometers west of Taiwan's main island.
The Chinese administration first established control over Penghu during the Yuan Dynasty in 1281, constructing fortifications and implementing a civil governance system.
The population maintains strong maritime traditions with festivals centered around fishing activities, reflecting their ancestral connections to southern Fujian Province.
Three domestic airports and regular ferry services connect the islands to mainland Taiwan, with transportation options varying based on weather conditions.
The South Penghu Marine National Park features rare columnar basalt formations that emerge from the waters of the Taiwan Strait.

Maritime straits are essential passages for navigation and global trade. These natural waterways between lands connect oceans and seas, allowing the movement of merchant ships and international maritime transport. From the English Channel to the Strait of Malacca, these passages are crucial for the maritime economy and commercial exchanges between continents.
