Snake Mountain Introduction
Searching for the mythical bird on Snake Mountain. Snake Mountain is not a mountain, but rather consists of four islets located off the west coast of Xiju in Matsu, arranged in a serpentine shape, resembling a long snake coiled in the sea. Another theory suggests that the sea-eroded terrain in front of the main peak of Snake Mountain resembles the flicking tongue of a snake as the tide rises and falls, hence the name.
