Suogang Towers include the North Tower and South Tower.
Winter in Penghu islands is characterized by strong monsoon wind. Ancestors of Penghu built twin pergodas to ward off evil spirits. Suogang is unguarded by hills. The twin towers also served as direction guides for the fishermen at sea.
Suogang Towers are nine-level stone cairns. Among all the stone cairns in Penghu they are the oldest examples of their kind. Originally built from black rocks, they were rebuilt in 1962 with black rocks and concrete. The towers were originally seven levels
with the first level covering 66 square meters, but in 1962 they became nine levels after restoration, and are now the highest stone towers in Penghu (around 14 meters high).
