夜幕降臨，晚上入住舊軍事宿舍翻新改建的特色55據點背包客棧，卸下沈重的行囊，走出客棧，滿天星斗映照著臉龐，彷彿迎接每位到訪旅客。繁星點點的夜空下，站在客棧私人瞭望台，觀賞馬祖藍眼淚，捕捉令人感動的難忘美景。
As day become night, visitors can stay at No. 55 Hostel (55據點背包客棧), renovated from a former military barracks, and after unloading our heavy luggage, walk back outside to see how the starlight bathes every visitor’s face as if greeting them.
Under this starry sky, you can watch Matsu’s Blue Tears while standing on the hostel’s private observation deck and take in such an unforgettably marvelous scenery.
隔天起床前往福澳港乘船，每兩小時一班，現場購買全票160元，僅需10多分鐘即抵達北竿鄉。北竿必訪景點之一芹壁部落被譽為「馬祖地中海」，是目前保存的最完整、最大的馬祖閩東傳統建築聚落。古城倚著山勢呈階梯狀排列、面向湛藍大海，來到此喝杯咖啡、享用早午餐，濃厚異國風情，宛如置身於地中海，在此消磨一整天完全不是問題。
On the next day, take the boat that leaves Fuao Port for Beigan Township every two hours by purchasing a full-trip ticket there (NT$160). After just a 10-minute ride, you’ve reached the QinbiTribe, one of Beigan’s must-visit spots.
Known as the Matsu’s “Mediterranean” town, it currently possesses the largest and most complete settlement of Eastern Min traditional architecture, whose old town leans upward against the mountain, facing the ocean.
Come here for a cup of coffee and brunch to soak in this exotic, Mediterranean-like atmosphere – spending the entire day here shouldn’t be a problem at all.
來到芹壁部落，當然不能忘了造訪馬祖必吃餐廳「鏡沃小吃部」品嚐最道地的「老酒麵線」，濃郁的湯頭，搭配那微焦帶有脆度用老酒煮過的荷包蛋，濃醇的酒香令人銷魂。此外，包著花生米、芝麻粒以及甜粉的「黃金餃」，配上清湯，口感嚐起來像是元宵，甜而不膩的滋味讓人忍不住一口接一口。在鏡沃小吃部一定要選面向大海的位置，享受美食的同時，還能欣賞無邊無際的海景，實為人生一大享受。
When arriving at the Qinbi Tribe, an authentic taste of the Old Wine Vermicelli Noodles at JinwoXiaochibu (鏡沃小吃部) is highly recommended.
The alcoholic aroma emanating from this rich soup, with a slightly charred, crispy fried poached egg on top, makes for a perfect bowl of soul food.
Also, take a bite into the sweet potato dumplings wrapped with peanuts, sesame seeds and sweet powder, accompanied by a clear soup — a meal traditionally eaten during the Lantern Festival.
The flavor is sweet but not greasy, making it easy to eat one dumpling immediately after the other. At Jinwo Xiaochibu, just choose any spot facing the sea, lay back and enjoy the food, the ocean — just enjoy the moment!
