[Reporter Cai Zongxun/Report from Chiayi] Affected by the front, the wind and waves on the Magonghai Blue Road in Budai, Penghu County, Chiayi County have turned strong. It is expected that the wind speed will reach level 7 from the evening to tomorrow night. Due to control, the passenger ship originally scheduled to return to Budai from Magong at 4:30 pm also departed early at 1:00 noon.

The Budai Management Office stated that the passenger ship control standard is based on the blue highway forecast data of the Central Meteorological Bureau. The Buma route has a wind speed greater than 7 or a wave height exceeding 3 meters. Day) From 6:00 p.m. to tomorrow evening, the wind speed will reach level 7. Therefore, access control will be implemented. "Blue Magpie Wheel" and "Taji Star 2" will set sail from Magong to Budai at 1:00 noon and 1:30:30 respectively.

The tourism industry pointed out that the number of inbound and outbound trips to Budai Commercial Port during the Qingming Festival was as high as 22,131, ushering in the first wave of peaks this year. Originally scheduled for this weekend and holiday, there will be 3 voyages to carry tourists to Penghu. Unfortunately, the weather is not good. The wind and waves are too big to cancel. I hope that the walruses will become more and more stable and reproduce the endless flow of tourists on the Bupeng Sea Route.
