The Qingluo Line (route number 0768) is operated by the Penghu County Public Vehicles Administration and connects central Magong with the Qingluo settlement in Huxi Township. Stops along the way include Huimin Hospital, Beichen Market, the Cultural Center, Magong Senior High, Chenggong, Huxi Tianhou Temple, and Baikeng, with the route terminating at the Qingluo stop next to the Qingluo Wetland Wildlife Refuge. With 4 trips per day in each direction, it is the main public bus option for residents of northeastern Huxi commuting to work or medical appointments, as well as for the small number of visitors heading to Qingluo Wetland and the historic Baikeng settlement.
Route highlights
The Qingluo Line has the most variable routing of the northern Huxi services. Some outbound trips head straight north from Chenggong via Xixi, Hongluo, and Huxi to Qingluo, while others detour through the Xingwen military base, Dachengbei, and the Yuantong Temple area before continuing. Return trips vary even more: some loop back via Hudong, while others circle through Huxi, Taiwu, Aimen, Penghu Airport, and Dachengbei before reaching Magong Main Station. Check the routing notes next to each departure on the timetable before boarding to avoid misjudging arrival times or missing your stop.
The Qingluo terminal sits inside Qingluo Village, within walking distance of the Qingluo Wetland Wildlife Refuge and Qingluo Sandspit — one of the few coastal wetlands in Penghu that combines lagoon, mangrove, and sandbar landforms, and a site recognized by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area. Autumn and winter bring migrating and wintering waders and ducks from the north, while in spring and summer little terns and other tern species nest on the sandspit. The birdwatching seasons are distinct, so consult the on-site interpretation boards before observing. Along the route, the Baikeng settlement preserves its traditional coral-stone houses and small fishing port, and draws fewer tourists than Magong’s popular sites — a good option for travelers who want an unhurried walk through a traditional Penghu village.
When to ride
The first weekday service at 6:40 AM mainly carries Huxi schoolchildren and commuters, and tends to run on time. For a same-day return trip from Magong, the 9:35 AM or 12:10 PM outbound paired with the 12:40 PM or 5:40 PM return gives you the most time at Qingluo. With only 4 services per day and gaps of up to 5 hours, missing one bus means waiting half a day for the next — plan your timing carefully. If you want to combine the Qingluo Line with a Penghu Airport trip, afternoon return services sometimes loop through Aimen and the airport, which can work as a backup after a flight delay or a luggage drop-off, but confirm that day’s routing in advance. From November to February, strong northeast monsoon winds make the coastal stretches near Qingluo and Baikeng especially cold; bring a windproof layer, and avoid relying on the last bus of the day — once it leaves, there are no further services back to Magong.
