About this place

Mengao Port & Coastal Pier, Dongju Township, Lienchiang County (Matsu), Taiwan. Welcoming passenger ferries onto Dongju Island, Mengao Port is bordered by a sweeping white sand beach famous for luminescent bioluminescent "Blue Tears" and glowing sea sparkles during spring and summer nights. From the harbor, visitors set off to tour the British-designed Dongquan Lighthouse and ancient stone stone hamlets of Fuzheng. In Daping Village, hungry explorers devour military-favorite deep-fried scallion pancakes at Fengshulin (楓樹林小吃部), the legendary "90,000 Scallion Pancakes" at Huamei (華美美食), and fresh artisan tofu pudding.
