Illustrative Kunqu Beach, on the northwest coast of Xiju Island in Lienchiang County, is one of Matsu's most iconic coastal landscapes. The beach is broad and gently sloped, with a rich intertidal ecology. At low tide, visitors can walk along a gravel causeway to Snake Island, evoking a 'Moses parting the sea' spectacle. During major low tides in spring and summer, intersecting waves produce the rare 'square sea' pattern, drawing families and nature lovers to explore and marvel. The spot is also one of the best places to enjoy Matsu's stunning sunsets, perfect for family outings, photography, and ecological education.

Illustrative →Buddha Hand Cave
A natural sea-carved grotto beside Xiandongyan, the 30-meter Buddha Hand Cave was once a Japanese-era air-raid shelter and later a bat roost. Today it is softly lit and free to enter round the clock, revealing palm-shaped rock veins and carved Buddha figures that give the cave its name. Pair it with a buddy for the damp, slightly eerie interior, and visit before 6 p.m. while the lights are still on.
