Matsu's unique maritime charm is distinct from Taiwan's main island, with a deep culinary culture that has given rise to many unique dishes. Under the proactive planning of the Palais de Chine Hotel Taipei , seven Matsu tourism circle dining operators were invited, including 918 Matsu Flavors Restaurant, Taijiang Grand Hotel, Fangxiang Yu Restaurant, Yima's Shop, First Restaurant, Lin Yihe Workshop, and Island Bobo Studio. From February 26 to March 2, 2025, they launched a limited-time feast "Gastronomic Matsu" at the Yi Gong Chinese Restaurant. This event combines Yi Gong's culinary techniques with Matsu's distinctive dining elements, providing an opportunity for Matsu's dining operators to exchange and learn, while allowing the public to better understand Matsu's unique dishes, rich in culinary culture.
Matsu National Scenic Area Headquarters under Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, stated that tourism needs to be a team effort to ensure sustainable development. Since its establishment 25 years ago, Matsu National Scenic Area Headquarters has built numerous well-known domestic and international recreational spots, promoted activities like the 'Blue Tears,' and in recent years, responded to the Tourism Administration's Tourism Circle Plan. It actively supports Matsu's local tourism industry through the five principles of "Good to Look, Good to Eat, Good to Buy, Good to Play, and Good to Travel", helping to continuously improve the industry and drive the sustainable development of island tourism.
Director Hong Zhiguang of Matsu National Scenic Area Headquarters stated that starting this year, in addition to the internationally renowned 'Blue Tears,' Matsu National Scenic Area Headquarters will strengthen collaboration and communication with the Lianjiang County Government and cross-regional tourism areas. It will promote the Matsu Pilgrimage Trail, Eastern Fujian Cultural Experience, and respond to Taiwan's 100 Tourism Highlights (including activities like "Deer Watching in Daqiu", " Kuanqiu's Block Sea", and "Matsu's Geological Landscapes").
