Matsu Nangan Airport Arrivals Hall - Lienchiang County, Taiwan

This camera looks over the arrivals hall at Matsu Nangan Airport (馬祖南竿機場) on Nangan Island, where passengers walk in from their flights and collect their bags in this small terminal on Taiwan's remote Matsu Islands.

The airport opened on January 23, 2003. Its single runway is just 5,180 feet (1,579 m) long, so only turboprop planes like the ATR 72 can use it, with flights to Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung.

The Matsu Islands lie just off the coast of China's Fujian province, far closer to the mainland than to Taiwan, and for decades they were heavily fortified military outposts. Old tunnels and bunkers still dot the islands.

Did You Know? The Matsu Islands are named after Mazu, the Chinese goddess of the sea, and legend says her body washed ashore on Nangan.
