Jang Jin Restaurant
SEAFOOD $$$
(Chángjìn Cāntīng; 9 Minzu Rd; dishes NT$200-350; lunch & dinner)

food place with a wide range of fresh dishes. Not really suitable for one person as dishes
are designed for sharing.
Drinking & Nightlife
For cafes and fruit or tea shops, head to the little alleys around the Matsu Temple and off
Jhongjheng Rd.
Freud Pub
BAR
(Fúluòyīdé; 2-l Sinsheng Rd; 6pm-2.30am)
The house special in this slightly cramped but
laid-back sports bar is the potent 'Absolutely Drunk' cocktail, made with six kinds of al-
cohol.
Shopping
Makung is full of shops selling all kinds of Penghu speciality items such as pink and
black coral, shells and veined stones. We recommend against buying coral items as it
only hastens the destruction of coral reefs and the decline of the marine creatures living
within them.
Edible items are especially popular with Taiwanese tourists, and stores selling squid
jerky, smoked fish and dried seafood can be found all over Makung. You can also buy
just about anything edible, from freshly caught fish and oysters to local vegetables and
in central Makung.
Information
Penghu's not the most wired of places, but more and more hotels and guesthouses offer
wi-fi connections.
Bank of Taiwan
(24 Renai Rd)
Foreign-currency exchange and ATMs.
