From Bashi Harbor, it’s only a three-minute drive to the Beigan Tourist Center, located on the main street of Banli Village. Upon entering the visitor center, an abundance of travel promotional materials is on display, offering tourists various informational services, including video screenings and guided tours, enabling visitors to quickly access travel information on Beigan tourism. This makes the visitor center the first stop of choice for any trip to Beigan. In addition to the service counter, the first floor features a souvenir shop and the only duty-free store on Beigan. If visitors need to rest after walking, the second floor offers a café serving light meals—perfect for travelers to dine and relax while taking in the seascapes before preparing for the next leg of their Matsu journey. **Video screening hours:** 09:00–16:30, with a session every half hour, each lasting approximately 11 minutes. **Renewing life in old buildings — the 100-year-old Banli Great House** To experience early Matsu life, you must visit the “Banli Great House” directly across from the Beigan Tourist Center. The house, constructed using V-shaped and T-shaped masonry techniques, features neatly arranged stone walls on the exterior and preserved original wooden structures inside, a grand mansion in its time! After renovations, the original façade remains intact, with renewed structural beams. The right side of the house is open for public tours, while the left side operates as a traditional guesthouse. Walking through the wooden corridors of this historic home, you might occasionally hear the familiar creaking of the wooden floorboards, offering one of the essential experiences of Min Dong architectural charm. **Open hours of Banli Great House:** 08:30–17:00
