白沙港

Baisha Harbor, an important maritime entry and exit point in Beigan, is located at the southern end of Beigan Island in Matsu. It serves as a key transportation hub between the islands of Matsu and the Xiaosantuo area. Before the construction of the pier, the coastline was dotted with pristine white sands, hence the name "Baisha" (meaning "white sand"). After the completion of Baisha Pier in 1998, the clean white sandy beach transformed into a new maritime gateway for Beigan, and a port administration building was added, along with the establishment of the Western Coastal Road connecting Banli, enhancing land and sea transportation. With its blue sea views and continuous coastline, it has become an important port for both fishing and commerce. Behind the port administration building, the Baisha settlement retains some of the old houses, built in a terraced manner on the hillside of Nunnery Mountain. The quaint stone houses showcase a strong local fishing village character, allowing visitors to wander between the ancient buildings and savor the beautiful scenery of the alleyways, enjoying the taste of time that subtly permeates the winding paths. Let's start the journey in Beigan from here!
