During summer, the mesmerizing phenomenon of "Blue Tears" in Matsu is a breathtaking sight one must witness at least once in a lifetime. From March to September each year, this stunning bioluminescent display can be seen in the bays around the Matsu Islands.

Matsu is not only a strategic military location but also a sacred land — home to the world’s only spiritual cave of Mazu, the sea goddess. Our island-hopping journey will take us through Xiju, Daqiu, Beigan, and Nangan, offering a deep dive into the rich local culture and charm of Matsu.
Discover the hidden world wonder of Xiju — the “Blocky Columnar Basalt Coast” at Kunqiu, walk barefoot on star sand beaches, and admire the Blue Tears shimmering off the breakwater at Qingfan Harbor by night. No need to travel all the way to Nara, Japan — on the uninhabited island of Daqiu, sika deer roam freely. In Beigan’s traditional Qinbi Village, rows of stone houses built from piled stones transport you to a Mediterranean-style ancient town, while the century-old Banli Residence still whispers stories of the past. As night falls, the island unveils yet another scene of glowing Blue Tears.
In Nangan, explore the mysterious tunnels of the “88 Tunnel” and Beihai Tunnel, visit the spiritual cave of Mazu at Matsu Tianhou Temple in Magang, and enjoy panoramic views of mainland China from Yuntai Mountain — all unmissable highlights of our journey, waiting for you to explore and savor.
