Qinbi Village
芹壁聚落
The best-preserved Eastern Min stone-house village on the hillside of Beigan, facing Turtle Island bay. It is known as the 'Mediterranean of Matsu.'
Qinbi Village is on the north coast of Beigan Island. Dozens of Eastern Min-style houses built of granite stand in layers up the hillside, with stones weighing down the roofs to resist the wind. The village faces Turtle Island in the bay, and its scenery is often compared to Mediterranean villages. It was once a fishing village, and many of the old houses have now been converted into guesthouses and cafés. Staying one night lets you watch the sunset and the night sky. From April to June, blue tears (bioluminescent plankton) sometimes appear in the bay at night. The village is free to explore on foot. Please respect the residents' daily lives. It is a 10–15 minute bike ride from Beigan Airport or Baisha Harbor.
