After admiring the hydrangeas, chase the blue tears — a foreign resort-style flower-viewing hotspot in Matsu

Text by / MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

The Matsu Archipelago in the northernmost part of the country is a stunning island rich in natural landscapes. Aside from the breathtaking spectacle of blue tears from April to September each year, you can also witness the explosive bloom of hydrangeas in June and July, especially in Qinqi Village on Beigan Island, a must-visit seaside flower-viewing spot.

Recently, the hydrangeas at Qinqi Leisure Resort have just begun to bloom, and June will be the best time to enjoy them. At that time, you can admire the passionately blooming hydrangeas, with their beautiful blossoms resembling floral balls, adding even more of a foreign charm to Qinqi.

The Qinqi settlement is the most representative traditional architectural village in Matsu. The ancient houses are arranged along the mountain slope in irregular, stair-like formations, with exteriors primarily made of local granite, giving them the appearance of a stone city upon the sea from afar. Coupled with pristine white beaches, azure seawater, and the unique Turtle Island, the quaint and elegant atmosphere carries a foreign resort vibe.
