Magong (POJ: Má-keng) is a county-administered city and seat of Penghu County, Taiwan.
The settlement's temple honoring the Chinese Goddess Mazu, the deified form of Lin Moniang from medieval Fujian Province, is usually accounted the oldest in all of Taiwan and Penghu.
[1] The town was originally named Makeng (Chinese: 媽宮; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Má-keng; lit.
'Mazu's palace') but was changed to Makō (馬公) during Japanese rule in 1920,[citation needed] and was the center of the Mako Guard District.
Penghu Airport operates domestic flights and Magong Harbor hosts ferry connections to Kaohsiung, Tainan, Chiayi and Kinmen.
