Taiwan - Matsu 2015-10-29

We, a group of 17 people, gathered together to head Chin Be, Matsu early in the morning.  With about 45 minutes flight time, we arrived in Matsu.

Matsu was a Taiwan's military post.  In a clear day, we can see China clearly without using a telescope.

Now Matsu is a reputation as a tourist destination that offers serenity, excellent scenery and glimpses into Taiwan's past.

Beikan (North Island) is Matsu's second largest island and a half-hour boat ride from Nankan. Beikan is more preserved than Nankan. Its highlight is Chin Be Village, a place that is being preserved to give a sense of living conditions in Matsu in the years from 1949 through 1987.

Chin Be has many stone-block buildings with their red-tile roofs, as well as the rugged coast, fishing boat, and Turtle Island.
