Dongjyu and Sijyu are the two large islands at most south of Matsu Island Chain. Since the two islands look like tow dogs lying at outer ocean of Min River, they are named as “Dongcyuan” and “Sicyuan” in former times. With the sight of the military installation that can be seen everywhere and the vast expression of the ocean blending into the sky, Jyuguang is full of unadorned natural beauty.

Fujheng Village

Fujheng Village, close to Dongcyuan Lighthouse, was once a glorious town. However, when its population decreases along with the decline of this fishery village, only broken stone house remained. At present, the Government is repairing them, though. As for the Fujheng Beach on the side, the sand is white and fine; when you walk along the beach, you may experience the quietness of Fujheng.

Doncyuan lighthouse

The Doncyuan lighthouse was built by the British in 1872 and it is the only 2nd-level ancient remain in Matsu. The lighthouse is approximately 19.5M in height and it is the first western lighthouse built from granite. When you ascend the lighthouse’s spiral stone stairs, you may see glass lens in shape of a shell, light shield made with cast iron in an arched shape, and a wing sock on top of the lighthouse.

Dapu Inscription

The Dapu inscription records the brave history of General Sheng Yurong catching Japanese pirates alive during the Wan-Li Years of the Ming Dynasty. The little piece granite stele witness the past history of pirate gathering at Matsu and is now listed as a 3rd-level ancient remain.
