The quiet, old fishing village of Jinsha is probably the most authentically traditional of all the villages I visited. There are several hostel/homestays there.

Costumes of some of Taiwan's Taoist Gods ready to be paraded in Nioujiao Village's Wulinggong Temple. Looking out the door of Wulinggong Temple towards the (mostly) traditional fishing village of Nioujiao Matsu Islands are named so because they're the legendary home and burial place of Mazu, a historical figure now turned Goddess and worshiped by fishermen throughout Asia.

The Beihai Tunnel on Nangan is the largest of several underground harbors in the Matsu Islands. Although I didn't photograph many of the military sights for obvious reasons, exploring some of the abandoned ones makes you wonder what life was like living in them 30 years ago.

Daqiu Island, Matsu, Taiwan. Formosan Sika Deer (台灣梅花鹿) populate the island of Daqiu, just off the coast of Beigan Island, Taiwan. They can sometimes be found just behind the coffee shop above the harbor, resting in the remains of the old village.
