Autumn Osmanthus Pavilion Introduction
The Autumn Kuei Reservoir is located on the eastern side of Autumn Kuei Mountain, built along the valley carved by the mountains. It is one of the important water supply stations in the western part of the island. Near the Autumn Kuei Reservoir, there are two pavilions, one built against the mountain and the other by the sea, providing beautiful views of the reservoir, known as "Autumn Kuei Pavilion." The Autumn Kuei Pavilion overlooks Fuao Harbor across the sea, where the beauty of the harbor is in full view. As summer approaches, the sea breeze gently blows, making it a perfect spot for visitors to enjoy the scenery and take a rest. By following the path beside the reservoir into the mountains, after a stretch of winding trails, one can reach the coastal paradise of the western part of Nan Gan – Furen Village. Furen Village – A Hidden Paradise It feels like a hidden paradise as you arrive at Matsu's "Furen Village" after passing by the Autumn Kuei Reservoir. Walking along the winding paths of the village, you can experience the simplicity and lush greenery of Furen Village, with a few households nestled among the greenery. From a high vantage point, the sea is a brilliant blue. Legend has it that the name comes from the early days when local men made a living through fishing and would often remain at sea, leaving mostly women and children in the village. On one occasion, pirates landed to loot, but the women bravely fought off the pirates, which led to the village's name.
