Matsu “Beigan” Accessible Tour

I. Itinerary Features

The settlements on Beigan Island are famous for their "stone houses," which belong to typical Min-Dong architecture. They are built using local granite and shell sand. Because they are nestled against the mountains and face the sea with bright colors, they have earned the reputation of "experiencing Greek style without going abroad."

This route focuses on "Beigan Accessible Tourism," including visitor centers, attraction circulation descriptions, and accessibility-friendly information, making it suitable for travelers with limited mobility and their families.
