Located at the northernmost tip of Taiwan, the Matsu Islands are often thought of by visitors as the frontline of coastal defense. But in fact, Matsu is an island with incredibly rich natural scenery. Though each small island can be explored in just a few hours, they are filled with endless wonders.

Every summer from June to July, you can witness an explosion of blooming hydrangeas. Especially at Qianbi Leisure Resort on Beigan Island, it’s a seaside flower-viewing spot you can’t miss. The lush hydrangeas bloom beautifully like giant flower balls, complemented by white sands and the sea, adding an exotic charm to Qianbi.
