Linyao Islet Introduction
The southernmost point of the Matsu Islands. Looking south from the Dapu settlement, one can see a solitary island on the sea not far away, known as "Lin'ao Islet," one of three small islands surrounding Dongju Island and the southernmost point of the Matsu Islands. Unlike Xiniu Islet to the north, which forms a tidal flat connecting it to Dongju Island during low tide, Lin'ao Islet has always been distantly gazing at Dongju Island and cannot be directly connected to it. Lin'ao Islet is home to various bizarre rocks and rich plant ecological resources. According to plant experts, the perennial beach wood on the island has considerable ornamental value. Additionally, the island is dotted with strange stones, rich in mythological stories and legends. It is currently not open for landing, but some anglers go to Lin'ao Islet for fishing, making it one of the main fishing spots near Dongju Island and a highly contested area for fishermen. Due to Lin'ao Islet's unique geology and abundant plant ecology, it was designated as a county-level natural landscape in 2018, making it one of the ten regions of the Matsu Geopark.
