The warm and fresh Taiwan is a well-deserved popular place for graduation trips, but have you followed Taiwan’s Outer Island ?
Although not far from the island, each outer island has a distinct personality. Kinmen ’s ancient towns and foreign buildings are lingering; Mazu ’s mysterious Blue Tears adds a different kind of tenderness to this place. Penghu Islands Heart-shaped stone Shanghai witnesses the love legend of fisherman and the ocean. On the sea surface of Taitung , Green Island has long been an internationally renowned diving holy place. Lanyu is the home of Dawu people. The unique board boat is the pride of the nation and the symbol of the island.
Traveling on the outer islands always requires coping with the ever-changing climate. There is foggy in spring, typhoons in summer and autumn, and northeastern monsoons in winter, so it is common for ships to stop and flight cancellations. You can slow down like the islanders and sit and watch the magnificent view of the setting sun entering the sea.
Ma Zu
Mazu Islands In the vast ocean more than 10 kilometers northeast of Taiwan's main island , it consists of 36 small islands, less than 10 kilometers away from Fujian. It is known as "a string of pearls outside the Minjiang River Estuary".
Mazu's patron saint is naturally sea god Mazu , and the footprints of the statue of Mazu are all over the islands. The dark secret path that rafted into the belly of Mazu Mountain was a little creepy, and I was also amazed at the grandeur of the project back then. During summer, blue light sometimes pops up from the water surface. It is a natural phenomenon "blue tears" that appears in Mazu every year. Take out your camera to take a photo of the moment that is hard to come by.
Nangan Township
Nangan is the largest island in Mazu and is also the main portal. Travelers can use Nangan as a base to arrange their itineraries for other islands. Even if you only visit Nangan, as long as you have visited the spectacular Beihai tunnel and the Mazu giant statue on the high mountain, you will have no regrets in Mazu's journey.

Beihai tunnel is part of the 1968 "Beihai Plan". At the same time, underground tunnels for small boats to land in Nangan, Beigan and East Entrance were dug in Nangan, Beigan and Dongguan to strengthen defense. The largest scale was the Beihai tunnel in Nangan. This tunnel deep into the abdomen of the mountain was excavated with explosives and man-made. It was a very difficult project at that time. It took ,820 days to complete .
You can also spend 30 minutes walking along the small walkway to get close to the rock wall. The opening hours of Beihai tunnels vary according to the tide. may open from April to October at night, and rowing on the luminous water surface in the pit is very fantastic.

The granite houses built along the mountain are stacked and arranged in an orderly manner, making them a very complete Mazu Mindong building.

Don't miss it: Mysterious Blue Tears
Every summer night, the coasts of many islands in Mazu have the opportunity to see the mysterious blue light, which is the famous "Blue Tears". The "blue tears" phenomenon is caused by plankton luminescent algae in the sea. The luciferase in its cells will fluoresce when it encounters environmental disturbances stimulation (such as waves).
Blue tears can usually be seen in Mazu from April to September, and are most easily seen during the transition period from May to July. The emergence of "blue tears" is affected by many environmental factors. For example, locals say that when the southwest wind blows, the probability of occurrence is high, but when the moon is full or the wind and waves are too large, it will be affected by the moonlight and white-headed waves respectively, allowing the light to be covered. If you have to "chase tears", be prepared to stay for a few days and travel to a few islands.
Lanyu
to Lanyu . When the wind blows low at sunset, in front of you, there are also quiet bays anchored with three-color board boats, sunset, and Taiwan Island in the distance (it can only be seen when the weather is very clear). The sea breeze blows through the bushes and the waves hit the reefs. Under the sunset, a duo of grassland and sea is being staged.
Even for the island of Taiwan, Lanyu, 65 kilometers away from Taitung, is full of mysterious atmosphere. The Dawuren, wearing a silver helmet and a "thong", has settled here for generations, and lived a life of underground houses with a roof facing the ground under the invasion of dense typhoons. Due to the relatively closed environment, the people of Lanyu continued the ancient calendar and rituals of the "farming lunar calendar + flying fish season" to this day. It is best to know the island’s taboo culture before visiting to avoid causing disputes.
In addition to its unique regional culture, the tropical primitive scenery of Lanyu is even more breathtaking. The central mountains rise from the ground, and the surging waves leave huge sea holes and sharp reefs, as well as crystal clear sea water and colorful corals.
