Magong Port Bus Stop is Penghu’s primary sea-land transit hub. Passengers arriving by ferry transfer here to bus services heading to townships across Penghu; local residents also board and alight here on journeys to Huxi, Xiyu, and the southern Penghu area. The stop sits along Linhai Road adjacent to the port, where 3 routes converge — the Magong North Loop (0162) runs toward the Cross-Sea Bridge to Xiyu; the Magong–Huxi line (0164) heads to Penghu Airport and the Huxi Township villages of Beiliao and Nanliao; and the Magong–Pengnan line (0165) serves Shanshui and Fengguei, with connections to island-hopping ferries bound for Wang-an and Qimei. The steady flow of travellers through this stop reflects its significance: it is both a transport node and the gateway through which most visitors first encounter Penghu.
Location
The bus stop is opposite No. 33, Linhai Road, behind which lies the Magong Harbour Authority office and fishing port area. Route signs clearly display the numbers and destinations of all 3 lines; a basic shelter provides overhead cover while waiting. From the Magong ferry terminal, walk northwest along Linhai Road for 2–3 minutes to reach the stop.
The surrounding area is well-served and makes a convenient starting point for exploring Penghu. Within 100 metres to the north are several seafood restaurants and food stalls for a quick meal. Dockside vendors sell fresh catches directly, and nearby shops carry local Penghu specialties — dried seafood, cauliflower cake (花菜粿), and prickly-pear ice cream. The Magong Port Tourism Service Centre is close at hand, offering travel advice, maps, and accommodation referrals. A 5-minute walk west brings you to the historic Zhongzheng Road old street and Zhongshan Road shopping district, the busiest commercial area in Magong. A 15-minute walk south leads to Magong Main Terminal, the primary hub where 7 routes converge. To the east, the Magong Quay and the Penghu pilot channel offer pleasant harbour views in the evening.
Travel Tips
Before boarding, confirm your destination and route number to avoid taking the wrong bus. The Magong North Loop (0162) covers the whole of Xiyu Township via the Cross-Sea Bridge; the Magong–Huxi line (0164) primarily serves Huxi Township, stopping at Penghu Airport, Beiliao (Kueibishan), and Nanliao; the Magong–Pengnan line (0165) heads toward Shanshui and Fengguei, where passengers can transfer at Magong Port or Wai-an Harbour to island-hopping ferries for Wang-an and Qimei.
Last departure times vary by route, but most fall between 18:00 and 20:00. The Pengnan line is tied to ferry schedules and its last departure shifts with the season and timetable changes; during the off-season or when weather disrupts sailings, the last bus may run considerably earlier — always check live information at the stop before planning your return or inter-island journey. During winter (November–March), strong northeast monsoon winds frequently cause 10–20 minute delays on services toward Xiyu and Shanshui; allow extra time in your schedule. In summer (July–September) tourist volumes are high and buses fill quickly — arrive at the stop 10–15 minutes early to queue and avoid missing your service. During heavy rain, Linhai Road is prone to surface flooding; check conditions on your route to the stop before heading out.
