EP87 Penghu, Xiyu | Praying for Rain

Episode 87 stays in Penghu and crosses the great bridge to Xiyu — the westernmost of the main islands. At Daguoye village, a wall of hexagonal basalt columns rises twenty metres high, formed hundreds of thousands of years ago when volcanic lava cooled slowly into perfect six-sided pillars. At Waian Fishing Harbor on the far western tip, the sunset drops straight into the sea with nothing in the way. Over crispy hand-pounded cuttlefish balls, crumbly peanut candy, and fresh-caught seafood, we follow Sun Wukong as he discovers why a county has had no rain for three years — and goes all the way to Heaven to argue for people he's never met.Location: Xiyu Township, PenghuFood: Cuttlefish Balls | Peanut Candy | Fresh Seafood
