Siwei Village Introduction
Nan Gan Traditional Settlement: Siwei Coastal Scenery Moving north from Matsu Village, we arrive at the westernmost end of Nangan Island, also known as "Xiwei." This is one of the few well-preserved villages in Nangan. The office of Lin Yi-He, a legendary figure in Matsu, still remains here. In the past, troops were stationed here, and a power plant and rice mill were built in the village, driving the prosperity of Siwei Village. Over time, the village gradually declined, and today only a few households remain, with many areas yet to be fully restored, preserving more of the original appearance. The village is simple and charming, nestled against Qiu Gui Mountain facing the coast, with fishing sails dotting the sea, creating a picturesque scene. The sunset in the evening is particularly breathtaking, earning the name "Xiwei Sunset." The Matsu Aquaculture Experiment Station, originally located at the mouth of Furong Ao in Siwei Village, was the base for aquaculture development in Matsu and is best known for its cultivation of mussels. Through the experimental station's developed farming methods and the area's favorable natural conditions, mussels have become an essential delicacy on Matsu's dining tables, and one must try this fresh taste when visiting Matsu. In 2018, the experiment station was renovated into the Blue Tears Ecology Museum, where it now conducts blue tears cultivation work.
