The Matsu Islands in the northern border area are not only a former frontline of coastal defense but also a stunning island rich in natural landscapes. Qínbì Village on Beigan Island is the most representative settlement of Matsu’s traditional architecture, where classic old houses are arranged along the mountain slopes in irregular, stair-like formations. The exterior walls are primarily built with local granite, giving the village from afar the appearance of a stone city upon the sea. With its beaches, seawater, and Turtle Island, the scenery takes on an even more rustic and elegant beauty that captivates visitors. The night view of Qínbì is simply breathtaking. Recently, if you visit Qínbì Leisure Resort, you can see hydrangeas in full, passionate bloom. The beautiful hydrangea blossoms, resembling large floral balls, add an exotic charm to Qínbì.

After enjoying the hydrangeas, in the quiet of the night, you can head to the seaside to witness the world’s rare spectacle – the Blue Tears. Coming here feels as though time stands still, and many visitors have praised the place as being just like Greece or Provence. Without even needing to go abroad, you can experience the vibe of an exotic vacation and a journey of simplicity for both body and mind right in Qínbì Village.
