Shanlong

Shanlong lies along the southern coast of Nangan Island, where steep granite slopes descend towards small harbours on the Taiwan Strait. It is the administrative centre of Lienchiang County, the Taiwanese county encompassing the Matsu archipelago, and has the islands’ most concentrated range of services. Nangan’s settlement pattern combines closely built streets with older stone houses, while its Cold War-era military legacy remains part of the island’s identity. Local life is also shaped by devotion to Mazu, the sea goddess after whom the archipelago is named. Browse other webcams across the Matsu archipelago to place Shanlong in a wider geographic context.
