Introduction to Matsu
Matsu Archipelago is administratively part of Taiwan’s Lianjiang County and comprises Nangan, Beigan, Dongyin, and Juguang Townships, along with many uninhabited islets. It is narrow east-west and long north-south topographically, with each island boasting unique geological features.
Matsu Archipelago consists of 19 islands and islets, including five main islands: Nangan, Beigan, Dongyin, Dongju, and Xiju. Smaller islets include Liang, Gaodeng, and Daqiu that belong to Beigan Township.
Matsu’s administrative center, Nangan, is about 114 nautical miles from Taiwan and 54 nautical miles from the Min River estuary, China. Its Huangqi Peninsula is the nearest point to China, only about five nautical miles away.
