Penghu County Map Files｜Labeled, Black and White, and Blank Outline Maps

A Penghu County map is especially useful when a standard map of Taiwan does not provide enough detail. Penghu County lies in the Taiwan Strait, west of Taiwan’s main island, and is made up of many separated islands rather than one continuous land area. The county is divided into one city and five townships, with several administrative areas spread across northern, central, western, and southern island groups.

This printable collection includes a color administrative map, a simplified black and white map, and a blank outline version. The files are designed for A3 printing and can be used in classroom handouts, regional presentations, blog graphics, travel planning, infographic projects, and image-editing work. Because the islands are separated by open water, a clear layout is more useful than a simple location pin on a general Taiwan map.

Magong City, Huxi Township, Baisha Township, and Xiyu Township form the main central and northern area of the county. Wang’an Township and Qimei Township sit farther south and are separated from the main population center by longer sea routes. A well-organized Penghu County map makes it easier to compare these island groups, understand their administrative connections, and decide which version best fits a particular project.

While preparing the collection, the most important issue was not adding more labels, but keeping the island groups readable at the same scale. Small offshore islands can disappear when the map is reduced, while the southern townships can feel disconnected if the full north-to-south extent is not shown. The final layout keeps the six administrative areas visible while preserving the overall shape of the archipelago. The source article and its map-use details were used as the basis for this English rewrite.

Understanding the Island Layout

Penghu County is located between Taiwan’s main island and the Chinese mainland in the Taiwan Strait. Its administrative center is Magong City, where the county government, major port facilities, and many local services are concentrated.

The county includes:

• Magong City
• Huxi Township
• Baisha Township
• Xiyu Township
• Wang’an Township
• Qimei Township

Magong and Huxi share the main central island area. Baisha extends across islands to the north, while Xiyu occupies the western side of the central group. Wang’an and Qimei are farther south, making them visually and geographically distinct from the main urban center.

The full county stretches roughly 60 kilometers from north to south and about 40 kilometers from east to west. Its land area is relatively small, but the sea area between the islands makes the overall layout feel much larger than the land measurement alone suggests.

Administrative Names in English

The current English names used in this map collection are:

• Magong City
• Huxi Township
• Baisha Township
• Xiyu Township
• Wang’an Township
• Qimei Township

Older materials may use spellings such as Husi, Siyu, or Cimei. For consistency, this resource uses the more widely recognized modern forms: Huxi, Xiyu, and Qimei.

Color-Coded Penghu County Map

The color map separates all six administrative areas while keeping the island groups visually connected. This is particularly helpful in Penghu because one township may include several islands rather than a single continuous land area.

Baisha Township includes islands north of the central group, while Wang’an Township covers multiple southern islands. Color makes those administrative relationships easier to understand than coastline lines alone. The difference between the compact urban area around Magong and the more widely distributed island townships also becomes clearer.

This version works well for Taiwan regional comparison pages, presentation slides, travel articles, and educational materials introducing the county’s administrative structure.

Printable Black and White Version

For printed worksheets, reports, and handouts, the black and white map gives more attention to names, coastlines, and boundary lines. Reducing the color elements keeps the page less crowded, especially when the map is inserted into a document alongside text or data.

Penghu contains many small islands, so print clarity depends on keeping the coastline visible without allowing nearby shapes to merge. The basic version was reviewed with large-format printing in mind, making it suitable for A3 reference sheets and classroom use.

Teachers can use it for location exercises, while travelers can add ferry routes or island notes by hand. It also works well in reports where color printing is not available.

Blank Penghu Outline Map for Editing

The outline version removes labels and fill colors, leaving the county coastline and administrative divisions as a working base. This makes it easier to create a custom visual without first removing existing text.

Possible additions include:

• ferry routes between Magong, Wang’an, and Qimei
• tourism points and harbor locations
• population or visitor data by township
• color-coded island groups
• classroom labels and coloring exercises
• infographic notes for regional comparison

Because Penghu is an island county, the blank layout is also useful for showing how travel routes depend on sea connections rather than roads alone.

What the Map Reveals About Penghu

The most noticeable feature is that administrative size is not defined only by land area. Magong City is compact and urban, while Baisha and Wang’an cover broader island groups spread across the sea.

Xiyu lies west of the central islands and is connected to Baisha by the Penghu Great Bridge. Huxi occupies the eastern side of the main island and includes the area around Penghu Airport. Qimei, at the southern end of the county, appears as a separate island area with a clear distance from the central group.

This layout makes Penghu different from most counties on Taiwan’s main island. Understanding the county requires looking at both land divisions and the water separating them.

Practical Uses for the Map Collection

Students can compare Penghu with other Taiwanese counties and see how an island-based county differs from a continuous mainland district. The labeled maps work well in geography assignments and regional presentations.

Travel planners can use the map to separate central-island trips from southern-island routes. Magong, Huxi, Baisha, and Xiyu are often treated as the main travel area, while Wang’an and Qimei usually require separate ferry planning.

For blog graphics and infographic projects, the outline map provides a clean background for highlighting one township, adding statistics, or marking a route. The color version is better when the goal is quick visual explanation.
