Siwei Village Introduction
Nangan Traditional Settlement and Siwei Coastal Scenery Continuing north from Matsu Village, you will arrive at the westernmost tip of Nangan Island, known as "Xiwei." This is one of the few well-preserved traditional settlements in Nangan. The former office of the legendary figure from Matsu, Lin Yi-He, still remains. In the past, troops were stationed here, and facilities such as a power plant and rice mill were built, which boosted the prosperity of Siwei Village. However, it gradually fell into decline, and today only a few households still reside here, with many areas yet to be fully restored, preserving more of its original appearance. Siwei Village presents a simple landscape, nestled against Qiugui Mountain and facing the coast, with fishing sails dotting the sea, creating a charming scene. The sunset near this area is particularly breathtaking, earning it the beautiful nickname "Xiwei Sunset." The Matsu Fisheries Experiment Station, originally located at Furong Bay in Siwei Village, was a base for developing aquaculture in Matsu, with a particular focus on mussels. The cultivation methods developed by the experiment station, combined with exceptional natural conditions, made mussels a staple delicacy on Matsu's dining tables. A visit to Matsu would be incomplete without trying this delicious treat. In 2018, the Fisheries Experiment Station was transformed into the Blue Tears Ecology Pavilion, which also works on cultivating blue tears. Blue Tears Ecology Pavilion Address: No. 24, Siwei Village, Nangan Township, Lienchiang County Opening Hours: 10:00-12:00, 13:30-17:40, 18:40-21:00 Madam Cafe – Reviving Traditional Stone House Romance Located within the village, Madam Cafe is a nearly 80-year-old traditional stone house, now transformed into a guesthouse and cafe. It boasts beautiful mountain and sea views, and the courtyard seating area is a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. Many visitors come to Madam Cafe to "unwind," enjoying a tranquil moment by the sea.
