吉貝嶼東鐘、西殼的一段神奇傳說
著名的澎湖旅遊觀光景點白沙吉貝離島信仰中心觀音寺，主祀觀音佛祖，至今已有一百多年歷史，其獨特的建築造型，常引來觀光客駐足留影，而矗立在吉員村的東鐘、西殼，奇怪的方位安置與建築，則是獵影的最佳景點，但鮮少有人知曉這象徵當地人文特色的暮鼓、晨鐘標誌，也有一段神奇的傳說，吉貝嶼能有今天的繁榮，據當地居民流傳的說法是，全拜安置東鐘、西殼所賜，因此才有東方龍馬壯山河、西境海雲飛日月象徵精神標誌留存至今。
位於白沙島北方的吉貝島，島上地勢平坦，耕地廣大，光復後由於政府的積極獎勵及輔導，農漁業長足的發展，曾有「小美國」之稱號，相傳一百多年前，吉貝島民偶見東方海面出現一片萬丈紅光，十分燦爛，懷疑海中出現寶物，引起全島居民駕著漁船競相趕赴現場查看，僅在海面上發現一尊慈面的觀音佛祖金身，隨即在村民開會決議後，將之供奉於武聖廟內奉祀，隨後即在地方士紳呂軒、謝如兩倡議下而捐款興建，名為觀音寺。
該亭曾於清光緒十四年及民國三十四年、三十九年重建，又於民國六十一年改造三仙門，寺後建一座小花園，左右抱兩廊，由於廟齡老舊，在民國七十九年再度重建，並於民國八十六年舉行落成典禮展現新貌。
據當地居民說，自從供奉觀音佛祖後，村內經神靈庇佑，不僅合境平安、五榖豐收外，就是從事生產製造也日新月異，使得全村民眾生活更覺溫飽，一日，觀音佛祖神蹟再次顯現，於夢中指點村內耆老，指示為加速當地的繁榮景象，必須在村內東方興建一座象石塔，以鐘為標誌，並在西方興造一座以「榖」為標誌的建築物安鎮，同時書有東方龍馬壯山河及西境海雲飛日月，象徵吉貝觀光歷久不衰，也成為當地人的人文特色。
觀音寺不僅為當地宗教信仰中心，同時亦在寺後建造一座小花園，左右抱兩廊，並於廟前創建二座暮鼓、晨鐘亭，以配合觀光旅遊勝地，供遊人觀賞。
