The old wine jars lining the sides, accompanied by the sound of water droplets echoing in the tunnel, add to its unique charm.
- 240mm Artillery Position
Once the frontline against communism and a springboard for national recovery, the Matsu Islands are filled with countless military historical sites. It is also a 'forbidden area' that tourists visiting Matsu are most eager to explore. The 240mm cannon located on Nangan Island is the most iconic attraction among the currently open military facilities, and visitors are always deeply moved. As the largest caliber artillery in the country with a diameter of 24cm, it requires twelve soldiers to operate. Known as the 'Treasure of Matsu', this super howitzer has not been fired since its last test in 1995, yet the giant cannon remains at its post, safeguarding the security of the Taiwan Strait.

Located on Nangan, Yuntaishan stands at an elevation of 248 meters. It is the highest peak on Nangan, second only to Beigan's Bishan (294 meters), and is the second-highest peak among Taiwan's offshore islands. It is listed as the 98th of Taiwan's 'Little Hundred Mountains'. Due to its wide field of view, which spans nearly 180 degrees, it is the best spot to overlook the Matsu Islands and mainland China. On clear days, not only are Dongju and Xiju visible, but even the Beijiao Peninsula of mainland China can be clearly seen. Climbing to the Military Intelligence Center offers a different perspective of Yuntaishan. With the full cooperation of the Matsu Defense Command, the Yuntaishan Observation Post is now open to domestic tourists, creating a new topic of interest and adding a new attraction to the Matsu region. Today, Yuntaishan is perfect for daytime sightseeing and watching the sunset in the evening. Especially during the hot summer, the cool sea breeze at night makes it a place you will never want to leave.
- Beihai Tunnel
Carving a grid-shaped tunnel into solid granite capable of accommodating a hundred vessels is truly a masterpiece of human ingenuity. This is the largest tunnel wharf in the Kinmen-Matsu region. The deep, long underground world exudes a mysterious atmosphere, accompanied by footsteps in the tunnel, elongated shadows, and the gentle ripples of the waterway, creating a fascinating ambiance. (Because the walkway is submerged during high tide, the itinerary will be adjusted according to the tides.)
