EP95 Lienchiang Beigan | The Rabbit from the Moon

Episode 95 takes us to Beigan — Matsu's other main island — and to Qinbi Village, one of the most beautiful preserved settlements in all of Taiwan. Stone houses built from local granite cascade down a hillside facing the sea, their tile roofs and narrow lanes unchanged for over a century. The whole village looks like it belongs in a Mediterranean painting, except the architecture is pure Fujian. We eat two Matsu specialties: Fish Noodles — noodles made from actual fish paste, chewy and oceanic and unlike anything you've had elsewhere; and Red Lees Dishes — the signature fermented red rice lees of Matsu used in everything from braised meats to fried fish. And the story delivers the revelation: the Moon Rabbit, escaped from the Moon Palace, finally unmasked — Chang'e arriving from the sky — and the real princess, alive and waiting in a locked room for twelve years, finally free.Location: Beigan, MatsuFood: Fish Noodles | Red Lees Dishes
