The cleaner and more beautiful the place, the more simple and kind folk customs there are. A dinner, a smile, and an island completely captured us.

Hundreds of elderly people are scattered in small stone houses on the island, which are their lifelong habitats and memories. Land is too complicated for them. Growing vegetables and flowers, fishing and playing mahjong are the world of small islands.

The origin of Mata comes from the only road on the island "Mata Line" and the shooting place of "Mata Mata" in New Zealand-The Lord of the Rings. Mata Mata B&B is located at the highest point in the north ao of Huaniao Village.
