Matsu, usually referred to as Lianjiang County (Matsu Township) under the jurisdiction of Taiwan, is located at the mouth of the Minjiang River in Fujian Province, directly north of the Taiwan Strait, and is actually under the jurisdiction of Taiwan's "Fujian Province", with the establishment of "Lianjiang County (Matsu Township)". "Lianjiang County (Matsu Township), with an actual area of 29.6 square kilometers and four townships under its jurisdiction, has its political center in Nangan Township (Matsu Island), and is generally referred to as the "Matsu Area", or Matsu for short. The prevailing language in Matsu is Eastern Min dialects with a Lianjiang accent, known locally as "Pinghua," "Matsuhua," or Fuzhouhua. The Matsu area consists of 36 islands and reefs, including Matsu Island (also known as Nangan Island), Beigan Island, Dongju Island (Donggu Island), Xiju Island (Xiju Island), Dongyin Island, Xiyin Island, and their affiliated islands***, which are collectively referred to as the Matsu Archipelago, and is now part of Taiwan's Matsu National Scenic Area. Note: Dongju Island (East Dog Island) and Xiju Island (West Dog Island) belong to Changle City, Fuzhou.

Matsu Island Tour

Matsu is an outer island of Taiwan, separated from the mainland only by a stretch of water. After drinking Matsu's wine and rubbing up against people's fish caught and airlifted from Matsu, Prayan and I decided to leave Taoyuan, Taiwan, and head to Keelung to catch a boat to Matsu, and to bring along his beloved car.

I'm a hobo, and Prayer is a working man. I had to board the boat at almost nine o'clock, so to save time, I took the Taiwan Railway from Taoyuan to Keelung first. Keelung Harbor is right next to the train station and can be reached on foot. Kian left me behind and rode his motorcycle as soon as he got off work at 6:30 p.m. He finally arrived in time after a huge traffic jam in Taipei. We had to buy not only our own tickets, but also tickets for the motorcycle. The 155cc motorcycle cost 600 NTD for a ticket, and the economy class we bought was only 800 NTD per person. Looking at the night of Keelung Harbor, waving to the cruise ship across the street, the ship slowly set sail to Matsu. The Taiwan-Matsu Star is a new ship, and the settings on board are very nice. At night in the cabin to eat some snacks, simply freshen up, pull the bed curtains to sleep, the next morning at six o'clock in the morning the ship arrived in Matsu harbor.

Not yet docked, the ship played "Ode to Matsu", the song is very earthy, before doing the guide when I heard online, but on the ship to listen to, light and bold rhythm with a good mood of traveling, surprisingly, also quite match, from the lyrics can be seen in some of the history of Matsu Island.

After disembarking from the ship, we went to the cargo warehouse to pick up locomotives, cargo, trucks, cars, locomotives, all placed in one piece. The locomotive was tethered with hemp rope to prevent it from falling over the bumps. We first went to check in at our previously booked B&B. Since there was no bathroom on the ship, we also wanted to take a quick shower. When we contacted the owner of the B&B, she was not up yet and told us to go to another house to wait. She told us to go to another house and wait for her. The door was unlocked and we could push the door to enter, so we could take a shower inside and wait for her. After a while she came and took us to the accommodation. Praying for An quietly told me that her accent sounded like she wasn't Taiwanese, but I think it's similar, maybe it's because the dialect Fuzhou spoken in Matsu is different from Taiwanese, and it's a little bit skewed by Mandarin. Afterward I asked her, actually is Fujianese, but Fujianese people speak in my opinion with the Taiwanese is also similar.

There's basically not much public **** transportation on the island of Matsu, so if you're a free-traveling traveler, you'll have to rely on chartered buses and cabs to get around. But we have a locomotive, and we're not afraid to go anywhere.

There are only a few attractions on Matsu Island. We also do not have a complete travel plan, in the B&B took a guidebook, also according to the island's road signs, randomly drive, where there is fun to look at stop and take pictures. This time, mainly in the Matsu busiest Nangan Island to play, to go to another island called Beigan again to take the boat is not convenient, so did not go.

Mrs. Cafe was built at the foot of the mountain, facing a bay with a beautiful view. The building maintains the Matsu tradition, all piled up with stone, the age of the house is ninety years old. The owner's wife is very good at life, simple some flowers and plants to run the small store is particularly beautiful. Although it occupies such a good location, it is not expensive. The second floor is a bed and breakfast, coffee and bed and breakfast together, a rare sight.

Mazu Island gets its name from the Mazu, which the people of Fujian and Taiwan believe in. According to legend, Mazu's father encountered Hainan, Mazu jumped into the sea to save his father, and his remains drifted to the Nangan Islands, where they were salvaged by local fishermen for burial. Later renamed Mazu, one said that because Mazu is a military place, the name of the place has the word "female" less masculine; the second said that because of the disrespect to Mazu, how can the head of the Mazu gun fire it?

Blue tears is actually a kind of seaweed, can not be found, even if you pick the right season weather and place, but also to take a chance, and even if you can see, the camera may not be able to capture. Pray for An first took me to a very remote place, to take the trestle from the mountainside down to the beach, there is no street lamp, in addition to the nearby 100 meters away from a small barracks outside there is no one. When I arrived, I turned back and went to check out other places to see the blue tears, which happened to be by the beach at the B&B where we were staying. It just so happened that we were staying at a B&B by the sea, but that day there were only a few scattered spots on the sea. The blue tears are magical, they will appear when the waves are big. If you take off your shoes and clap your hands on the water, it will flash a few times. A few high school girls who came here for summer camp were having a great time. Pieces of blue tears let people do not dare to get close to, afraid of a sea on the disturbed and break up, but these scattered floating can let people play.

Matsu was once a small fishing village, the cross-strait confrontation has made this place only the closest to the mainland only 9.5 kilometers away from the military, the most recent battle is still in 1965, until the nineties Matsu Island to stop the war government, and is now mainly to the development of tourism. However, there are still many army stations on the island, and slogans such as "Pillow down your arms and wait for the day of battle," "Kill Zhu and pull out Mao," and "Liberate the mainland" can be seen everywhere. I came to Matsu to see the many National Army soldiers stationed on the island, and the sea breeze and sun, especially manly. Taiwan's adult males are required to serve in the military training, service on the outer islands is more difficult, in the past, Matsu and the island of Taiwan there are frequent civil flights, serving young people to go home during the holidays, can only take the boat.

Wu Nianzhen's article, "I have never held her hand in my life," takes place in Kinmen, and writes about his military service in Kinmen, which is actually similar in Matsu. When he went to be a soldier, his girlfriend at the time bought a thousand envelopes for her, wrote her address on them, and spent five months of his salary putting a two-dollar stamp on each one, so that Wu Nianzhen could carry more than a thousand envelopes to Kinmen. Hou Hsiao-hsien shot this when, but also feel too sensational no one will believe, the play deleted.

A friend in the boot camp, the same period there is a person every day pretend to be sick want to escape military service. The first time I saw this, I was able to get the ball rolling, and I was able to get the ball rolling, and I was able to get the ball rolling. In the end, every day pretending to be sick students can only pack their bags and take a boat to spit all the way to Matsu to serve, called the day, called the ground.

There are many barracks on the island, like the way we went to look for blue tears, we came across a small post standing guard for the national army. Riding past, I waved to him and said, "Hey there!" When I came back I waved to him again, I didn't expect him to give me a standard salute military salute in response, haha flattered.

Kinmen Kaoliang wine is very famous, Matsu's Kaoliang wine can also be rivaled. This time, I also went with the heavy responsibility of getting the

"aged wine" from the Matsu distillery. The gold-plated wine, which was featured at the Ma-Xi dinner, has skyrocketed in value, going for as much as NT$800 a bottle (it was just over NT$200). Sightseeing wineries have already sold out, and when you go to the stores in Matsu, you'd think that the local ones would be cheaper, but I didn't realize that they were the same price as on the mainland, and there are only a few bottles in stock in each store.

The Bachan Kengdao was once a military war pit, which was later handed over to the brewery for wine storage (the Bachan Kengdao wine sold on the market has nothing to do with the Matsu brewery, so you have to be sure to recognize it). The pits are warm in winter and cool in summer. The pit is warm in winter and cool in summer, and while it's over 30 degrees outside, it's only about 20 degrees inside, making it an excellent place to store wine, and you can smell the aroma of the wine before you walk in, but it's not pungent at all. The pit is very short, ten minutes to visit the end, but there is the smell of wine, but also so cool, I'm a little drunk in the inside but I can't forget to come back. The aged wine stored inside is more than 20 years old, older than Daughter Red. The old man who guarded the door saw us taking pictures and said we were not allowed to take pictures, so he asked for a camera to take pictures for us personally.

When I went back to the tourist store in Matsu, I bought a package of dried tamarinds to bring on the boat to eat, and after checking out, I opened it and ate it directly. The boss's wife hurriedly chased out and said: "Eh, Miss, this can not be eaten raw oh!" But we Ningbo people have always eaten raw ah.

Matsu, it's so much fun, I'm going to go back later, to go sea fishing, to see the blue tears.
