One of the most promising resources for local economy is tourism.
Lienchiang County Government is making an effort to attract more visitors to the Matsu Islands, especially among foreigners.

Nangan is the capital of Matsu and it is noted for its granite tunnel and the Iron Fort.
It has two interconnected main roads.

The Beihai Tunnels are manmade granite tunnels.
Both tunnels were remarkable for their time, and they took great effort to construct.
The tunnel in Nangan was built in 1968.
The completion of Beihai Tunnel took the effort of thousands of men.
The 700 metre (800 yard) tunnel has a width of 10 metres (33') and a height of 16 metres (52').
It was completed in 820 days with shovels, spades and explosives; the tunnel also took the life of a platoon of soldiers.
The tunnel was considered a military location and was not opened to the public until 1990.

The Iron Fort is located on the Southwest side of Nangan island.
 Located by a small cliff, it is a vulnerable spot for outside attacks or illegal smuggling of materials.
With that in mind, the fort was built for defence.
It is equipped with multiple machinegun rooms and rudimentary living facilities.
It is now open to the public, and although most of the equipment has been removed from the site, the site itself brings back a vivid image of what it was like for soldiers at that time.

Museums in Matsu including the Matsu Folk Culture Museum, Ching-Kuo Memorial Hall and War and Peace Memorial Park Exhibition Center.
