Many regions in Taiwan have previously introduced mascot landmarks in hopes of attracting tourist attention. However, the “design” of many mascots has sparked discussions among netizens. Recently, a new landmark appeared in Chengqian Community, Baisha Township, Penghu County, Taiwan. Named “Chengqian Fresh Oysters”, the plump and juicy oysters are impossible to ignore. In a short time, it has sparked discussions among netizens, with some even expressing a special desire to make a pilgrimage to Penghu!
A new landmark has emerged in Penghu! A giant oyster with a unique design has appeared in the Chengqian community. Not only does it have an oyster shell, but there’s also a cute and endearing oyster spirit in the middle, one hand giving a thumbs up, the other hand making a ‘yeah’ gesture. Its lower half is round and plump, just like a real, juicy oyster. The radiant smile on its face is incredibly eye-catching!

▼Not only that, but there’s also a smaller oyster spirit on the back of the main one, which adds a touch of whimsy. Many netizens have commented that they want to make a pilgrimage to this landmark after seeing it! A lot of them think it’s quite adorable and memorable, even suggesting it could become a new highlight of Penghu! However, some netizens feel the oyster spirit looks a bit “hairy”: “It’s like a millennium-old oyster spirit”, “I’m going to have a phobia of oysters now!”

In addition, some have noticed the tropical fish painted on the pillar beneath the oyster essence in the comments, suggesting that this landmark’s aesthetic is ahead of the curve globally. “Is Penghu trying to claim the title of Taiwan’s ugliest mascot? I almost fell off my bike when I saw Nemo outside Penghu University last time.” The “Pearl Child” of Penghu has also sparked discussions before, with people responding: “It’s a bit strange but very cute”, “I’ll make a pilgrimage there during the Fireworks Festival”, “It’s surprisingly adorable and dignified”, “It can compete with the Milkfish mascot”, “I’ll definitely go back for you this year”.

Penghu has previously created many popular mascots, including the “Pearl Child” – an iconic landmark of Jibei Island, and the “Peanut” holding an umbrella in Zhuwan Village, among others. There’s even a tour dedicated to collecting Penghu’s mascots! Locals emphasize that although the Oyster Spirit might look a bit startling, the oysters in Chengqian are truly delicious!
