Lienchiang County

Lienchiang County has served as a strategic frontier within Taiwan since the 1950s. Better known as the Matsu Islands, this scattered county lies in the Taiwan Strait, close to the Fujian coast, and includes the island groups of Nangan, Beigan, Juguang and Dongyin. Its shores alternate between granite headlands, small harbours and offshore islets, while strong seasonal winds shape daily life. Decades of military administration left tunnels and fortifications along the coast; stone-built settlements, Fuzhou-influenced traditions and Mazu temples express enduring local identity.
