Matsu Folklore Culture Museum
馬祖民俗文物館
A museum housed in an Eastern Fujian–style building that displays Matsu’s fishing, beliefs and wartime life. It is a good first stop for learning about the archipelago.
The Matsu Folklore Culture Museum is located in Qingshui Village on Nangan. Its exterior imitates the Eastern Fujian style, with fire-resistant gable walls. Its galleries are organized by themes of fishing, daily life, belief and wartime. They display fishing gear, wedding objects, ritual items and old photographs, and explain how Matsu people made a living on a resource-poor island. It is a good place to visit after arriving to learn the background. It is open roughly 09:00–17:00, closed on Mondays and some holidays. Admission is free. It is located in central Nangan and is easy to reach.
