The Hsi-Tai Fortress, on the other hand, witnessed an era of upheavals and wars. Built during the Ching Dynasty, the Fortress was established with an aim to defending the coastline of Penghu against foreign invasions. Now a historical site for tourists to explore, it was once equipped with cannons and other fiery weapons to shield Ching Dynasty's Navy of roughly 5,000 men.

School Outing with Stanley's!
Stanley travels with Wen-Au students, during a long-anticipated school outing, to the Er-Kan Village of Old Residences and Hsi-Tai Fortress. The Er-Kan residences are famous for their archaic (what does 'archaic' mean?) architecture style and structural/spatial awareness of nature, community and environment. Each mansion is meticulously decorated with colourful shapes, elegant friezes and deliberate Chinese eaves that illustrate the symbolic significance of an abiding place: the desire to stay and prosper, the attempt to make permanent a 'home' that never survived waves of forced exodus, and the resolution to map out both the root and route that had brought thousands of Chinese immigrants from across the strait to Taiwan. Each mansion is connected by a central corridor that allows kids to run from one household to another, benefitting its residents with extra security/care for children and an unobstructed channel for communication and collaboration.

Hsi Tai Fortress
Flat Stanley Is in Penghu
On November 21, 2008, Flat Stanley and I had a field trip to Hsi Tai Fortress (Western Fort) on Siyu Island. Hsi Tai Fortress was built in Ching Dynasty. And it is classified as the first grade ancient site.
Before we took the bus there, our teacher told us something about Hsi Tai Fortress. And we surfed the Net to know more about it.
Hsi Tai Fortress has two arches in the entrance, and it is secure under thick rocks. It is not only a military base, but also has magnificent scenery.
We visited Hsi Tai Fortress. We took some pictures, played ball games, ate, drank, and sang there.
Stanley and I both like the field trip to Hsi Tai Fortress, since we could know more history about Penghu, and we had a lot of fun there.
Visitors to Penghu should never miss Hsi Tai Fortress.
