In Qitou Village, you can also learn about baodun, a traditional method of fishing in Penghu. A stone weir, or fish trap, comprises a low, circular wall of stacked stones with an opening left for fish to swim into. Fishermen set up the coral stone traps in intertidal zones, relying on currents to snare fish. At high tide, fish swim through the openings and into the traps. When the tide goes out, fishermen disassemble the traps and collect the catch in nets. Most traditional stone weir fishing grounds in Penghu are in the Baisha Township intertidal zone. The fish traps at Chikan and Qitou are the largest. They cover a wide area, with over 300 traps on the Qitou reef shelf alone.

Dun vary in the size and number of stones in the pile. The season begins in the spring when Sargasso algae grows, attracting schools of groupers close to the shore, where they feed on the algae. At the end of June, the groupers migrate out to sea, and the dun are no longer useful, so the fishermen dismantle them, a process called “scattering the dun.” In spring of the following year, they reassemble, or "gather the dun,” as they term it. Tortoiseshell grouper, snapper and Malabar grouper are the main catches.
