Jibei Island is the largest island in the northern Penghu archipelago.
The island features extensive traditional stone weirs used for centuries to trap fish during low tide.
The visitor center is managed under the jurisdiction of the Penghu National Scenic Area Administration.
The surrounding marine environment is protected as part of the Penghu marine national park system.
The Jibei Visitor Center serves as the primary informational hub for Jibei Island, located within the Penghu National Scenic Area in Taiwan. It provides comprehensive travel resources, including island maps, emergency assistance, and local tourism brochures for visitors arriving by ferry. The facility is situated on Jibei Island, which is renowned for its expansive crescent-shaped sand spit known as the 'Jibei Sand Tail'. The center acts as a gateway for travelers planning to engage in water sports, snorkeling, or boat tours around the archipelago. It facilitates communication between local vendors, tour operators, and tourists visiting the northern reaches of the Penghu County. The site helps orient visitors to the local stone weir fishing culture that defines the coastal geography of the Baisha Township islands.
