The best vantage point to admire the Wai'an Fishing Fire is from the West Three Immortals Pagoda. Looking down from the mountaintop during the day, it resembles Santorini, Greece, earning it the nickname 'Little Santorini of Penghu'. The West Three Immortals Pagoda, standing on the cliff, was actually built to ward off evil spirits. This is because Wai'an Village has two hills, east and west, facing each other. The ancestors referred to the eastern hill as 'male left' and the western one as 'female right'. As Wai'an Village's primary industry is fishing, men often faced peril at sea.
