Dongyin
Dongyin is actually two islands, joined by a causeway. Two hours from Nangan by ferry, this is Taiwan’s northernmost point, a windswept outpost of tremendous natural beauty, with Matsu’s most thrilling scenery, a place of lofty granite cliffs and rocky spurs projecting out into the teal-green sea.
The cape-tip is at the northern end of a peninsula called the Reclining Alligator – the resemblance is indeed striking – and atop the alligator’s well-defined snout, at the peninsula’s southern tip, is Stronghold No. 33. The highlight of this abandoned facility is the decommissioned US-made twin-barrel M1 40mm anti-aircraft gun on display, which a signboard tells you “weighs 51,350 pounds, has a range of 11,000 meters, (and can fire) 160 rounds per minute.”
The Andong Tunnel, on the east side of Dongyin Island, is a superlative work of engineering, shooting right through a small mountain and exiting far down below at sea level. The area outside the entrance is protected habitat for the Black-tailed Gull and Black-naped Tern. Inside the tunnel are now-unused barracks, bathrooms, a kitchen, a meeting hall … even a pigsty.
Located at the easternmost tip of Dongyin Island, the brilliant-white Dongyong Lighthouse’s physical setting – stark, lonely beauty. The lighthouse is perched, at first glance seemingly quite precariously, on the precipitous-angle flank of a mountain, the great sea looming before, nothing in view. The mountain’s upper half looms behind and above, nothing of human creation in view. On the dizzyingly steep complex walkways, you look straight down into the sea at your feet. Completed in 1877, designed by an Englishman in 18th-century British style, this lighthouse is Taiwan’s northernmost national heritage site.
A stone-step trail behind the lighthouse leads to the Suicide Cliff, where ocean waves have cut deep into a mountainside, sculpting a vertical 100-meter-high wall on one side. The site is so-named because, according to island lore, pirates infested the local waters during much of the imperial Qing dynasty, and during one attack a Dongyin woman, her husband killed, chose to leap from the cliff rather than surrender her chastity.
A Thread of Sky, a deep and exceedingly narrow sea-erosion trench, splices two giant blocks of granite, towering rock walls facing each other just meters apart. The outer block is being cut from the mainland like a slice of birthday cake. Fallen slabs high up actually connect the cliffs in places. From the bottom only a thin, bright-blue ribbon of sky is seen.

[NOTE] Audio may get scratchy at times. Voice of Free China shortwave radio broadcast commemorating the failed communist invasion of the Nationalist-held islands of Kinmen during August of 1958. It is regarded as a turning point of the Chinese Civil War and basis for continual defense of Taiwan from further PRC aggression.

And next we take you to a remote island off of Taiwan called Matsu. This military island is the northern-most territory of the Republic of China. Due to its isolation, it preserves some magnificent things rarely seen by the public. NTD's Kevin Lin brings us there.
This more than a century old building belongs to the Treasury of ROC, and it is rarely seen by the public due to its isolation.
At this expedition, not only we will uncover this mysterious island, we'll also try to get a glance on the conditions of current Chinese Nationalist (Taiwan) army here on the island.
Matsu consists of a chain of islands which is right next to Fujian Province of China. During the tight tension across the Strait, soldiers who have been randomly selected to serve on the islands. The reward is quite surprising, as weve discovered - that is to be able to enjoy this paradise-like environment that ordinary people may not be able to experience.
Dong Yin a remote island in the Taiwan Strait is one of the prettiest islands among the Matsu Islands.
The villa-like lighthouse built in 1904 has a symbolic meaning in the island's geography and history. The magnificent landscapes created by wave erosion are best seen at this scenic spot, known as "A Thread of Sky".
Behind the steep cliff surface and penetrating into the granite rock bed, there is a hidden tunnel built by soldiers' bare hands. Inside the twisting and turning spaces, you may sense the hardship of the armies that camp here. At the end of the maze-like tunnel, it opens up to a spectacular cove filled with delightful landscapes.
Wondering how is the military lifestyle like here on the remote island? Let's listen to what a local soldier has to say:
[Xu Jiaming, Army Logistic Soldier]:
For recreation, we sometimes go to popular scenic spots, such as the lighthouse, the Thread of Sky, etc. for sightseeing. But actually, for most of the times, we would go to the township and spend the free time at an internet cafe or find a bed & breakfast for a complete rest.
We meet up with an NTU electrical master degree graduate, who now serves as a director at an observatory in Matsu.
[Lin Shikang, Defense Observatory Director]:
The main purpose of this observatory is to lookout for Chinese fishing vessels that have intruded into our sea borders, if we do see such an incident, we would report to the command centre and take immediate drive-away action.
With such a high self-esteem expression, surely its a sign that a soldiers life must be quite well here on the remote island, nowadays.
Dont be surprised that on this isolated part of the world there are female soldiers. This is a pair of twins, both sisters nominated themselves to serve in the army, and they have been dispatched to Matsu for more than two years.
When visiting Matsu, one of the must seen is the Double Eight Tunnel.
Here we've tons and tons of aged wine which are more than 10 years old.
This originally is a combat tunnel, 200 meters long, inside is cool, through out the year and the temperature and humidity are very steady.
Despite the military tension, the island's elegant simplicity and cultural richness may still be seen resting in the relaxed quietness of the Pacific.
Kevin Lin, NTD, Matsu, Taiwan.

Matsu Islands
The Matsu Islands (Chinese: 馬祖列島; pinyin: Mǎzǔ Lièdǎo; Fuzhou dialect: Mā-cū liĕk-dō̤ or less frequently, Chinese: 馬祖群島; pinyin: Mǎzǔ Qúndǎo; Fuzhou dialect: 馬祖島 Mā-cū-dō̤) are a minor archipelago of 36 islands and islets in the Taiwan Strait administered as Lienchiang County (連江縣; Lièng-gŏng-gâing pinyin: Liánjiāng Xiàn;) under streamlined Fujian Province of Taiwan. It is the smallest county in the country.
Only a small area of what is historically Lienchiang County is under the control of the Republic of China. The People's Republic of China (PRC) administers the part of the historical county on mainland China as Lianjiang County, which claims the entire archipelago to be its Mazu Township (馬祖鄉; Mā-cū-hiŏng). Kinmen is the other archipelago along the coast of Fujian that is controlled by the Republic of China (Taiwan).
Name
The Matsu Islands are named for the goddess Matsu.
The Lienchiang name is derived from the original Lianjiang County of Fujian province in Mainland China. In April 2003, the county government started considering changing the name to Matsu County to avoid confusion with the county of the same name on the mainland. Some local people opposed the name change because they felt it reflected a Democratic Progressive Party Taiwan Independence viewpoint.

Voice of Free China
The Voice of Free China (Chinese: 自由中國之聲; pinyin: Zìyóu Zhōngguó Zhīshēng) was the international broadcasting station of the Republic of China from 1949 until 1998. During the Cold War era the station was the source of Chinese Nationalist propaganda largely aimed at discrediting the People's Republic of China and buttressing the Nationalists' claims to be the sole legitimate government of all of China.
The Voice of Free China, for many years, was owned by the Broadcasting Corporation of China. This was a private company under a government contract to provide public radio programming. The BCC still exists today, but in 1998 the Voice of Free China and the government-owned Central Broadcasting System merged.
With the easing of cross-strait relations and the liberalization of Taiwan's government, the Voice of Free China changed its name to Radio Taipei International in 1998 and also used the name "Voice of Asia" for some broadcasts. In 2003 it became Radio Taiwan International reflecting the defeat of the Kuomintang government in 2000 and the new government's orientation towards Taiwan independence from China. Today, this station is now known as Radio Taiwan International.

Taiwan Remote Island - Matsu ExpeditionTaiwan Remote Island - Matsu Expedition
And next we take you to a remote island off of Taiwan called Matsu. This military island is the northern-most territory of the Republic of China. Due to its isolation, it preserves some magnificent things rarely seen by the public. NTD's Kevin Lin brings us there. This more than a century old building belongs to the Treasury of ROC, and it is rarely seen by the public due to its isolation. At this expedition, not only we will uncover this mysterious island, we'll also try to get a glance on the conditions of current Chinese Nationalist (Taiwan) army here on the island. Matsu consists of a chain of islands which is right next to Fujian Province of China. During the tight tension across the Strait, soldiers who have been randomly selected to serve on the islands. The reward is quite surprising, as weve discovered - that is to be able to enjoy this paradise-like environment that ordinary people may not be able to experience. Dong Yin a remote island in the Taiwan Strait is one of the prettiest islands among the Matsu Islands. The villa-like lighthouse built in 1904 has a symbolic meaning in the island's geography and history. The magnificent landscapes created by wave erosion are best seen at this scenic spot, known as "A Thread of Sky". Behind the steep cliff surface and penetrating into the granite rock bed, there is a hidden tunnel built by soldiers' bare hands. Inside the twisting and turning spaces, you may sense the hardship of the armies that camp here. At the end of the maze-like tunnel, it opens up to a spectacular cove filled with delightful landscapes. Wondering how is the military lifestyle like here on the remote island? Let's listen to what a local soldier has to say: [Xu Jiaming, Army Logistic Soldier]: For recreation, we sometimes go to popular scenic spots, such as the lighthouse, the Thread of Sky, etc. for sightseeing. But actually, for most of the times, we would go to the township and spend the free time at an internet cafe or find a bed & breakfast for a complete rest. We meet up with an NTU electrical master degree graduate, who now serves as a director at an observatory in Matsu. [Lin Shikang, Defense Observatory Director]: The main purpose of this observatory is to lookout for Chinese fishing vessels that have intruded into our sea borders, if we do see such an incident, we would report to the command centre and take immediate drive-away action. With such a high self-esteem expression, surely its a sign that a soldiers life must be quite well here on the remote island, nowadays. Dont be surprised that on this isolated part of the world there are female soldiers. This is a pair of twins, both sisters nominated themselves to serve in the army, and they have been dispatched to Matsu for more than two years. When visiting Matsu, one of the must seen is the Double Eight Tunnel. Here we've tons and tons of aged wine which are more than 10 years old. This originally is a combat tunnel, 200 meters long, inside is cool, through out the year and the temperature and humidity are very steady. Despite the military tension, the island's elegant simplicity and cultural richness may still be seen resting in the relaxed quietness of the Pacific. Kevin Lin, NTD, Matsu, Taiwan. -

Dongyin
Dongyin is actually two islands, joined by a causeway. Two hours from Nangan by ferry, this is Taiwan’s northernmost point, a windswept outpost of tremendous natural beauty, with Matsu’s most thrilling scenery, a place of lofty granite cliffs and rocky spurs projecting out into the teal-green sea.
The cape-tip is at the northern end of a peninsula called the Reclining Alligator – the resemblance is indeed striking – and atop the alligator’s well-defined snout, at the peninsula’s southern tip, is Stronghold No. 33. The highlight of this abandoned facility is the decommissioned US-made twin-barrel M1 40mm anti-aircraft gun on display, which a signboard tells you “weighs 51,350 pounds, has a range of 11,000 meters, (and can fire) 160 rounds per minute.”
The Andong Tunnel, on the east side of Dongyin Island, is a superlative work of engineering, shooting right through a small mountain and exiting far down below at sea level. The area outside the entrance is protected habitat for the Black-tailed Gull and Black-naped Tern. Inside the tunnel are now-unused barracks, bathrooms, a kitchen, a meeting hall … even a pigsty.
Located at the easternmost tip of Dongyin Island, the brilliant-white Dongyong Lighthouse’s physical setting – stark, lonely beauty. The lighthouse is perched, at first glance seemingly quite precariously, on the precipitous-angle flank of a mountain, the great sea looming before, nothing in view. The mountain’s upper half looms behind and above, nothing of human creation in view. On the dizzyingly steep complex walkways, you look straight down into the sea at your feet. Completed in 1877, designed by an Englishman in 18th-century British style, this lighthouse is Taiwan’s northernmost national heritage site.
A stone-step trail behind the lighthouse leads to the Suicide Cliff, where ocean waves have cut deep into a mountainside, sculpting a vertical 100-meter-high wall on one side. The site is so-named because, according to island lore, pirates infested the local waters during much of the imperial Qing dynasty, and during one attack a Dongyin woman, her husband killed, chose to leap from the cliff rather than surrender her chastity.
A Thread of Sky, a deep and exceedingly narrow sea-erosion trench, splices two giant blocks of granite, towering rock walls facing each other just meters apart. The outer block is being cut from the mainland like a slice of birthday cake. Fallen slabs high up actually connect the cliffs in places. From the bottom only a thin, bright-blue ribbon of sky is seen.

And next we take you to a remote island off of Taiwan called Matsu. This military island is the northern-most territory of the Republic of China. Due to its isolation, it preserves some magnificent things rarely seen by the public. NTD's Kevin Lin brings us there.
This more than a century old building belongs to the Treasury of ROC, and it is rarely seen by the public due to its isolation.
At this expedition, not only we will uncover this mysterious island, we'll also try to get a glance on the conditions of current Chinese Nationalist (Taiwan) army here on the island.
Matsu consists of a chain of islands which is right next to Fujian Province of China. During the tight tension across the Strait, soldiers who have been randomly selected to serve on the islands. The reward is quite surprising, as weve discovered - that is to be able to enjoy this paradise-like environment that ordinary people may not be able to experience.
Dong Yin a remote island in the Taiwan Strait is one of the prettiest islands among the Matsu Islands.
The villa-like lighthouse built in 1904 has a symbolic meaning in the island's geography and history. The magnificent landscapes created by wave erosion are best seen at this scenic spot, known as "A Thread of Sky".
Behind the steep cliff surface and penetrating into the granite rock bed, there is a hidden tunnel built by soldiers' bare hands. Inside the twisting and turning spaces, you may sense the hardship of the armies that camp here. At the end of the maze-like tunnel, it opens up to a spectacular cove filled with delightful landscapes.
Wondering how is the military lifestyle like here on the remote island? Let's listen to what a local soldier has to say:
[Xu Jiaming, Army Logistic Soldier]:
For recreation, we sometimes go to popular scenic spots, such as the lighthouse, the Thread of Sky, etc. for sightseeing. But actually, for most of the times, we would go to the township and spend the free time at an internet cafe or find a bed & breakfast for a complete rest.
We meet up with an NTU electrical master degree graduate, who now serves as a director at an observatory in Matsu.
[Lin Shikang, Defense Observatory Director]:
The main purpose of this observatory is to lookout for Chinese fishing vessels that have intruded into our sea borders, if we do see such an incident, we would report to the command centre and take immediate drive-away action.
With such a high self-esteem expression, surely its a sign that a soldiers life must be quite well here on the remote island, nowadays.
Dont be surprised that on this isolated part of the world there are female soldiers. This is a pair of twins, both sisters nominated themselves to serve in the army, and they have been dispatched to Matsu for more than two years.
When visiting Matsu, one of the must seen is the Double Eight Tunnel.
Here we've tons and tons of aged wine which are more than 10 years old.
This originally is a combat tunnel, 200 meters long, inside is cool, through out the year and the temperature and humidity are very steady.
Despite the military tension, the island's elegant simplicity and cultural richness may still be seen resting in the relaxed quietness of the Pacific.

Travel Taipei Taiwan｜Xingtian Temple｜Vlog Guide 遊台灣：台北行天宮
I've been thinking about where to take yuh since it seems I've been all over as far as and as much as the MRT (Subway/Metro in Taiwan) can take me. Then I thought, HEYYYY WHY HAVE I NOT VISITED THE TEMPLE?!!! Well I haven't because I'm Christian but visiting and praying at the temple is indeed part of the Taiwanese people's lives. Most of the Taiwanese people believe in Taoism/Daoism which people tend to confuse with Buddhism. Taoism, however; is very different from Buddhism because the Taoist don't worship the buddhas but multiple different Gods that are based on the Chinese teachings and philosophies. The Taoists operate on the three virtues of compassion, moderation, and humility. Too much religions for you? Well how about just simply visiting for the pleasure of being a tourist and se...

Famous Matsu Temple, Goddess of The Sea Lukang, Taiwan
http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Matsu, also known as Mazu, is dedicated to the Chinese goddess of the sea who is said to protect fishermen and sailors. This flamboyantly decorated Taoist temple is divided into three halls and two courtyards. Filled at all hours with people burning incense and joss sticks to the gods and trying to divine the future, the Lukang temple is one of the most important in Taiwan. There is even a Matsu pilgrimage yearly during which a statue of Matsu is carried 350 kilometers/217 miles around the island over an eight-day period! Can you just imagine that sight?

Dongyin
Dongyin is actually two islands, joined by a causeway. Two hours from Nangan by ferry, this is Taiwan’s northernmost point, a windswept outpost of tremendous natural beauty, with Matsu’s most thrilling scenery, a place of lofty granite cliffs and rocky spurs projecting out into the teal-green sea.
The cape-tip is at the northern end of a peninsula called the Reclining Alligator – the resemblance is indeed striking – and atop the alligator’s well-defined snout, at the peninsula’s southern tip, is Stronghold No. 33. The highlight of this abandoned facility is the decommissioned US-made twin-barrel M1 40mm anti-aircraft gun on display, which a signboard tells you “weighs 51,350 pounds, has a range of 11,000 meters, (and can fire) 160 rounds per minute.”
The Andong Tunnel, on the east side of Dongyin Island, is a superlative work of engineering, shooting right through a small mountain and exiting far down below at sea level. The area outside the entrance is protected habitat for the Black-tailed Gull and Black-naped Tern. Inside the tunnel are now-unused barracks, bathrooms, a kitchen, a meeting hall … even a pigsty.
Located at the easternmost tip of Dongyin Island, the brilliant-white Dongyong Lighthouse’s physical setting – stark, lonely beauty. The lighthouse is perched, at first glance seemingly quite precariously, on the precipitous-angle flank of a mountain, the great sea looming before, nothing in view. The mountain’s upper half looms behind and above, nothing of human creation in view. On the dizzyingly steep complex walkways, you look straight down into the sea at your feet. Completed in 1877, designed by an Englishman in 18th-century British style, this lighthouse is Taiwan’s northernmost national heritage site.
A stone-step trail behind the lighthouse leads to the Suicide Cliff, where ocean waves have cut deep into a mountainside, sculpting a vertical 100-meter-high wall on one side. The site is so-named because, according to island lore, pirates infested the local waters during much of the imperial Qing dynasty, and during one attack a Dongyin woman, her husband killed, chose to leap from the cliff rather than surrender her chastity.
A Thread of Sky, a deep and exceedingly narrow sea-erosion trench, splices two giant blocks of granite, towering rock walls facing each other just meters apart. The outer block is being cut from the mainland like a slice of birthday cake. Fallen slabs high up actually connect the cliffs in places. From the bottom only a thin, bright-blue ribbon of sky is seen.

Dongyin
Dongyin is actually two islands, joined by a causeway. Two hours from Nangan by ferry, this is Taiwan’s northernmost point, a windswept outpost of tremendous natural beauty, with Matsu’s most thrilling scenery, a place of lofty granite cliffs and rocky spurs projecting out into the teal-green sea.
The cape-tip is at the northern end of a peninsula called the Reclining Alligator – the resemblance is indeed striking – and atop the alligator’s well-defined snout, at the peninsula’s southern tip, is Stronghold No. 33. The highlight of this abandoned facility is the decommissioned US-made twin-barrel M1 40mm anti-aircraft gun on display, which a signboard tells you “weighs 51,350 pounds, has a range of 11,000 meters, (and can fire) 160 rounds per minute.”
The Andong Tunnel, on the east side of Dongyin Island, is a superlative work of engineering, shooting right through a small mountain and exiting far down below at sea level. The area outside the entrance is protected habitat for the Black-tailed Gull and Black-naped Tern. Inside the tunnel are now-unused barracks, bathrooms, a kitchen, a meeting hall … even a pigsty.
Located at the easternmost tip of Dongyin Island, the brilliant-white Dongyong Lighthouse’s physical setting – stark, lonely beauty. The lighthouse is perched, at first glance seemingly quite precariously, on the precipitous-angle flank of a mountain, the great sea looming before, nothing in view. The mountain’s upper half looms behind and above, nothing of human creation in view. On the dizzyingly steep complex walkways, you look straight down into the sea at your feet. Completed in 1877, designed by an Englishman in 18th-century British style, this lighthouse is Taiwan’s northernmost national heritage site.
A stone-step trail behind the lighthouse leads to the Suicide Cliff, where ocean waves have cut deep into a mountainside, sculpting a vertical 100-meter-high wall on one side. The site is so-named because, according to island lore, pirates infested the local waters during much of the imperial Qing dynasty, and during one attack a Dongyin woman, her husband killed, chose to leap from the cliff rather than surrender her chastity.
A Thread of Sky, a deep and exceedingly narrow sea-erosion trench, splices two giant blocks of granite, towering rock walls facing each other just meters apart. The outer block is being cut from the mainland like a slice of birthday cake. Fallen slabs high up actually connect the cliffs in places. From the bottom only a thin, bright-blue ribbon of sky is seen.

Travel in Taiwan (7/8, 2016)
By Rick Charette
Nangan
Matsu’s largest island, Nangan is its cultural and political/administrative hub, and a very busy place compared to the rest of the archipelago.
Niujiao Village in Nangan’s northeast, once again flourishing, was one of the first to undergo a renaissance. Note how the homes’ granite blocks are in two shades, yellow and blue. The yellow are from Matsu, blue from Fujian; as a rough rule, blue meant you were more prosperous. Wulinggong Temple, above Niujiao’s harbor, has the bright orange-red exterior seen on many local temples. The color symbolizes flames; since already “on fire,” why would real fire need to visit? As with many homes, exaggerated vertical eaves are also supposed to help block sparks from nearby fires.
A 10-minute walk along the pathway that starts behind the temple takes you to the tip of the cape here, which is occupied by Stronghold No. 12 – not quite abandoned, for its two-floor command post/quarters has been “occupied” by “Thornbirds Book & Café,” an indie enterprise of great character that serves up splendid views of hilly Beigan to the north. The building is attached to such a steep rock face that you feel you’re hovering over the water rather than beside it.
Picturesquely filling up a mountain-backed niche of flat land behind a sheltered cove, compact, narrow-laned Jinsha Village in Nangan’s southwest is another imperial-era settlement now breathing strongly again, with new homestays and shops opening. One example is funky Matsu 1st Hostel, where cheap, cubicle-style single- and double-person rooms are offered. Housed in a true Matsu rarity, one of its east Fujian-style courtyard residences, beautifully restored, it’s one of four Nangan/Beigan youth-oriented homestays run by local entrepreneur Eddy Chuang (www.matsuhostel.com; Chinese).
The Iron Fort east of Jinsha Village, both on and inside a rocky outcrop in a small bay, once protected frogmen units. Narrow tunnels within lead to sniper slots, gun emplacements, quarters, and a kitchen. Outside, note the dog kennel. When tensions were high, PRC frogmen units staged night attacks, poisoning the guard dogs and taking human ears as trophies and proof of success. Many died in such lightning attacks over the years, here and elsewhere in Matsu.

I've been thinking about where to take yuh since it seems I've been all over as far as and as much as the MRT (Subway/Metro in Taiwan) can take me. Then I thought, HEYYYY WHY HAVE I NOT VISITED THE TEMPLE?!!! Well I haven't because I'm Christian but visiting and praying at the temple is indeed part of the Taiwanese people's lives. Most of the Taiwanese people believe in Taoism/Daoism which people tend to confuse with Buddhism. Taoism, however; is very different from Buddhism because the Taoist don't worship the buddhas but multiple different Gods that are based on the Chinese teachings and philosophies. The Taoists operate on the three virtues of compassion, moderation, and humility.
Too much religions for you? Well how about just simply visiting for the pleasure of being a tourist and seeing places you would probably not find in your own country?

Matsu, also known as Mazu, is dedicated to the Chinese goddess of the sea who is said to protect fishermen and sailors. This flamboyantly decorated Taoist temple is divided into three halls and two courtyards. Filled at all hours with people burning incense and joss sticks to the gods and trying to divine the future, the Lukang temple is one of the most important in Taiwan.
There is even a Matsu pilgrimage yearly during which a statue of Matsu is carried 350 kilometers/217 miles around the island over an eight-day period! Can you just imagine that sight?
