The reporter ventured along the coastal line of Tieban in southern Nangan, where, with almost no light pollution, the Blue Tears were clearly visible to the naked eye. The bioluminescent plankton, disturbed by the waves, emitted a faint blue glow that left travelers chasing the phenomenon in awe. Not only were the Blue Tears visible along the coast near Dahan Outpost, but the sorrowful shimmer of the phenomenon also gently unfolded on the sea surface at Jinsha Settlement in the southwest.

The Blue Tears usually appear between April and August, though the duration varies each year. Last year, residents even spotted them as late as August. Local residents noted that among the four townships and five islands, Nangan and Juguang are the most frequent sites for Blue Tears, though they are also commonly seen at Da Wu in Beigan.

The Matsu National Scenic Area Administration specifically reminds visitors that due to light pollution, the Blue Tears are mostly visible on dark stretches of coastline.Travelers are advised to stay vigilant and pay attention to their own safety while chasing the Blue Tears.
