Yuntai Mountain Introduction
At an elevation of 248 meters, Yun Tai Mountain, which is second only to Beigan Mountain (294 meters), is not only the highest peak in Nangan but also the best spot for enjoying panoramic views of the Matsu Islands and the landscape of the mainland. It has been listed as one of Taiwan's minor 100 peaks. To understand Matsu's strategic situation and the military dynamics across the Strait, the Matsu Defense Command (referred to as "Matsu Defense Command") built a military intelligence facility at Yun Tai Mountain in 1996 to enhance soldiers' education on enemy situations. However, in 2009, considering the development of tourism in Matsu, the displayed materials within the facility were relocated, and the Defense Command agreed to allow the Matsu National Scenic Area Administration to renovate the military intelligence facility, which was opened to visitors on November 7 of the following year. From early spring to early summer, during the rainy and foggy seasons, the surrounding mountains are enveloped in mist, creating a mysterious beauty; during clear weather, the North Jiao Peninsula on the mainland is clearly visible. Yun Tai Mountain is especially beautiful at night, where couples can overlook the nighttime lights of Nangan, adding a touch of romance.
