Chiu-Kuei Pavilion Introduction
Autumn Osmanthus Mountain Reservoir is located on the eastern side of Qiu Gui Mountain, built in a valley formed by the mountains, and is one of the important water supply stations in the western part of the island. Near the reservoir, there are two pavilions, one built against the mountain and the other by the sea, which offer beautiful views of the reservoir, known as "Qiu Gui Pavilion." Qiu Gui Pavilion overlooks Fuzhou Harbor, showcasing the stunning beauty of the bay. During the summer, the gentle sea breeze makes it a suitable spot for visitors to enjoy the scenery and take a break. Following the path along the reservoir into the mountains, after a winding stretch filled with willows and flowers, you will arrive at Cape Paradise on the western side of Nan Gan – Fu Ren Village. Fu Ren Village – A Secluded Utopia After visiting Autumn Osmanthus Mountain Reservoir, you will reach Matsu's "Fu Ren Village." Walking along the winding paths of the village, you can feel the simplicity and greenery of Fu Ren Village. A few households are nestled within the lush surroundings, and from a high vantage point, the ocean appears a deep blue. According to legend, the name originated because in the early days, local men made a living by fishing, leaving mainly women and children in the village. One time, when pirates landed to loot, the women bravely fought them off, leading to the village's name.
