Siwei Village Introduction
Nan'gan Traditional Settlement - Siwei Coastal Scenery Continuing north from Matsu Village, you arrive at the westernmost point of Nan'gan Island, also known as "Xiwai". This is one of the few well-preserved villages in Nan'gan. The office of Lin Yihe, a legendary figure in Matsu, still remains, symbolizing the location where troops were stationed and essential facilities such as a power plant and rice mill were built, fostering the prosperity of Siwei Village. However, it gradually declined, and today only a few households reside here, with many areas still not completely restored, preserving more of their original appearance. The simplicity of Siwei Village, nestled against Qiu Gui Mountain and facing the coast, creates a charming scene with fishing sails dotting the sea. The sunset here is particularly stunning, earning it the nickname "Xiwai Sunset". The Matsu Fisheries Experimental Station, formerly located at the entrance of Furong Ao in Siwei Village, was originally a base for developing aquaculture in Matsu, famously known for its culture of mussels. The breeding methods developed by the experimental station, combined with favorable natural conditions, make mussels an indispensable delicacy on Matsu's dining tables. A trip to Matsu wouldn't be complete without tasting this fresh delicacy. In 2018, the Fisheries Experimental Station was renovated into the Blue Tears Ecology Museum, which also conducts research on the cultivation of blue tears. Blue Tears Ecology Museum Address: No. 24, Siwei Village, Nan'gan Township, Lienchiang County Opening Hours: 10:00-12:00, 13:30-17:40, 18:40-21:00 Madam Café - Reviving the Romance of Traditional Stone Houses Located in the village, Madam Café is a traditional stone house nearly 80 years old, now transformed into a guesthouse and café. With stunning mountain and sea views, the seating area in the garden is an excellent spot to enjoy the sunset. Many visitors come here to relax and enjoy a peaceful time by the sea.
