Zhongyang Old Street, formerly known as “Jienei” (Inside the Street) or “Xiajie” (Lower Street), was one of the earliest commercial settlements in Penghu, part of the historic “Seven Streets and One Market.” In the early days, shops along this street sold all the daily necessities residents required. The current appearance of the street has been restored based on architectural features from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most buildings are narrow and deep, with the front serving as the shop and the rear as the living space.
During the Japanese colonial period, Zhongyang Street also served as a major commercial hub, forming a prosperous area known as “Ten Streets and Two Markets” together with nearby business streets. In 1984, it was officially designated as a "Cultural Heritage Preservation Area."
