There are other teaching positions available in Taiwan, if you are

information about Penghu Islands:
Penghu Islands
An archipelago of 64 islands halfway between Taiwan and the mainland,
starkly beautiful Penghu looks nothing like Taiwan. Flat and covered
in brush and grasslands, the Penghu Islands lure visitors with the
promise of sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages, turquoise seas,
delicious seafood and sunny skies. Gorgeous from May to September, the
islands are windswept and cold for the rest of the year. Makung, on
Penghu Island, is the archipelago's only city, with a population of
60,000. It's a picturesque place, with a fishing harbour, outdoor
markets and temples, including Taiwan's oldest.
Two other large islands, Paisha and Hsiyu, are linked to Penghu by
bridge. Paisha's most famous attraction is a 300-year-old banyan tree
- walking underneath it is like entering a cave. Hsiyu is the
archipelago's most beautiful island, with a coastline of hidden coves.
At its southern tip is Hsitai Fort, built in 1883. On a clear day
(should Taiwan ever have such a thing), you can see the big island of
Taiwan and the mainland from the fort. Makung is the only place on the
archipelago with hotels, but the best seafood restaurant is on Hsiyu.
You can fly to Makung from every major city in Taiwan, or get a boat
from Kaohsiung. If you want to visit any of the smaller islands you'll
need to charter a boat.
