The Whale Cave[1] (Chinese: 澎湖逍遙遊; pinyin: Pēnghú Xiāoyáoyóu) is a wave-cut platform in Xiaomen Village, Xiyu Township, Penghu County, Taiwan.
History
[edit]The wave is originally a basalt cliffed coast. After being continuously eroded by monsoon and seawater, it finally became an arch.[2]
Geology
[edit]The cave is located on Xiaomen Island. From the side, the hollow part roughly has the shape of a whale.
