The Matsu Islands are located in the northwest of the Taiwan Strait. They are composed of more than 20 islands of various sizes such as Nangan, Beigan, Dongyin, and Juguang. Every time at the turn of spring and summer, a wonderful phenomenon occurs on the seashore of Matsu: Under the pounding of the waves at night, fluorescent blue dots continuously appear. The entire coastline is like a sea of sapphire-blue stars, just like a reenactment of the movie scene of ‘Life of Pi’. So people call it ‘Blue Tears’. The spectacle of ‘Blue Tears’ has been listed by CNN as one of the 15 natural wonders in the world. It has the reputation of ‘the light of Taiwan’ and has caused a ‘chasing tears’ craze in spring and summer in recent years. Nangan and Juguang among the four townships and five islands often have Blue Tears. Blue Tears are also commonly seen on Daqiu in Beigan. The specific opening hours and business status are subject to the opening situation on the day.
