Linauyu Island Introduction
The southernmost point of the Matsu Islands. From the Dapu settlement, looking southward, one can see a solitary island called "Lin'ao Island," which is one of the three small islands surrounding Dongju Island and the southernmost point of the Matsu Islands. Unlike the tidal flat that connects Dongju Island with the northern island, Xiniu Island, during low tide, Lin'ao Island stands in constant view of Dongju Island and cannot be directly connected to it. Lin'ao Island is home to various peculiar rock formations and a rich array of plant ecological resources. According to a survey conducted by plant experts, the island's perennial coastal shrubs hold significant ornamental value. Additionally, the island is characterized by its bizarre rock formations, rich in mythological stories and legends. It is currently not open for public visits, with only a few anglers going to Lin'ao Island for fishing, making it one of the main fishing spots for Dongju Island and a highly contested area among fishing enthusiasts. Designated as a county-level natural landscape in the Matsu Geopark. Due to Lin'ao Island's unique geology and rich plant ecology, it was designated as a county-level natural landscape in 2018, making it one of the top ten areas in the Matsu Geopark.
