Embarking on a journey to witness the mesmerizing Blue Tears phenomenon in Matsu promises an enchanting experience like no other. Here are some essential travel tips to ensure you make the most of this captivating natural wonder:

1, Timing is Key:

To increase your chances of witnessing the Blue Tears in all their glory, plan your visit during the peak season, typically from April to September. During this time, optimal weather conditions and plankton blooms create the perfect environment for the bioluminescent algae to illuminate the night sky.

2, Choose the Right Location:

While the Blue Tears can be spotted from various vantage points across the islands of Matsu, some locations offer better viewing opportunities than others. Popular spots include Beihai Tunnel on Nangan Island and Qinbi Village on Beigan Island, where the bioluminescent algae can often be seen dancing in the water.
