Matsu Islands, Taiwan

The Matsu Islands are a remote island chain off the coast of Taiwan, home to a phenomenon known as “Blue Tears.” Glowing algae lights up late at night and can be clearly seen splashing against the island’s rocky outcrops and beaches. The islands can be reached by flight or ferry from mainland Taiwan, after which you can book a boat trip or guided tour to see the algae.
