Daqiu Island
大坵島
An uninhabited islet off Beigan where a herd of sika deer roams. Visitors can feed them up close, making it a popular island-hopping stop in Matsu.
Daqiu Island lies off the northwest of Beigan Island. Its former residents have moved away, and the sika deer released on the island have multiplied to more than one hundred. Visitors can walk the loop trail and get close to the deer. The island also has an ecological trail and sea views. Small boats depart from docks such as Qiaozai on Beigan and take about 10 minutes. Schedules change with the season and passenger numbers, and sailings are suspended in strong winds and waves, so check in advance. Do not feed the deer snacks. Only the fodder approved on the island may be used. Facilities are limited, so bring your own drinking water and sun protection.
