Magong

My first stop upon disembarking from the plane was the Magong Teacher's Hostel in "downtown" Magong. This was to be my home for several weeks during my first and third trips. The city of Magong, the political, economic, and cultural capital of the Pescadores, is a sleepy fishing harbor of about 30,000 residents. In appearance much more like a Mediterranean fishing village than a Chinese city, Magong is the center of the important fishing industry in the Pescadores.
