Syujia Village is a settlement featuring the traditional Penghu compound dwelling – yilosijutou (literally, one block and four roofs, i.e. one main hall with two duplex
wings).
The village was so named because all villagers carry the same last name Syu (Hsu). There are many traditional Chinese quadrangles in the village. In addition to the “offspring lane” (children’s corridor), coral stone wall, bullock cartway found in
early traditional
buildings, the Syujia Traditional Residence sitting on County Highway 203 in Huxi Township still reserves the trigrams lane fortification gate.
In the village, villagers maintain the simple look of the village with concerted efforts. Today, red bullock carts and grey stone walls are still seen. In recent years, the murals with colorful totems are painted on the coral stone walls to bring a beautiful
contrast with the traditional settlement charm of Syujia Village.
Here, there are many beautifully painted murals. Each looks like a postcard, and every card depicts the image of Penghu. Walking along the lanes and streets in the village, we can see murals in different styles with different themes. Since 2013, muralists
began
to extend the range of painting and maintain and update the existing murals to keep them neat and novel. Unlike ordinary sightseeing spots, strolling in Syujia Village, one can feel the traditional simplicity and serenity.
Syujia Village is a settlement where people can see the traditional coral stone residence closest to Magong City. The village sits near the coast in the shallow water area with a spacious intertidal zone. In front of the community activity center, there is
a kiosk. When visiting the village, do not forget to stroll along the lanes between traditional residences to enjoy the artistic atmosphere created by new color murals on the ancient coral walls.
