Siwei Village Introduction
Nangan Traditional Settlement - Siwei Coastal Scenery Moving north from Matsu Village, you will arrive at the western tip of Nangan Island, also known as "Xiyu." This is one of the rare well-preserved villages in Nangan, where the office of Lin Yi-he, a legendary figure from Matsu, still stands. During his time, troops were stationed here, and facilities such as a power plant and rice mill were built in the village, boosting the prosperity of Siwei Village. Over time, the village gradually declined, and today only a few families reside here. Many areas remain unrestored, preserving more of their original character. Siwei Village has a simple appearance, nestled against Qiu Gui Mountain and facing the coast, adorned with scattered fishing sails on the sea, creating a charming landscape. The evening sunset is especially breathtaking, earning the name "Xiyu Sunset." The Matsu Aquaculture Experiment Station, originally located at the mouth of Furong Ao in Siwei Village, was the base for the development of aquaculture in Matsu, renowned for its mussels. The breeding methods developed by the station, combined with the unique natural conditions, have made mussels an indispensable delicacy on Matsu's dining tables. Visitors to Matsu must try this fresh flavor. In 2018, the Aquaculture Experiment Station was transformed into the Blue Tears Ecological Hall, which also conducts breeding work for blue tears. Blue Tears Ecological Hall Address: No. 24, Siwei Village, Nangan Township, Lienchiang County Opening Hours: 10:00-12:00, 13:30-17:40, 18:40-21:00 Madam's Cafe Revives Traditional Stone House Romance Located in the village, Madam's Cafe is a nearly 80-year-old traditional stone house, now transformed into a guesthouse and cafe. Besides boasting beautiful mountain and sea views, the courtyard seating area is a perfect spot to enjoy the spectacular sunset.
