在下在東莒當兵,也常出差西莒. 古早時, 此二島合稱 白犬列島. 後來改名. 也去過南竿及北竿. 東莒平坦,約3平方公里. 騎車很快就可繞一圈. 島上的大坪村是軍人shopping and drinking之處. 環島公路旁就有一些據點. 風景不錯. 有些景點可看. 當年是去前線保衛台灣(書上的八股文). 沒心情欣賞. By the way, I saw lot of the ships of 共匪 quite often at that time. What's the status now?
Since there are such many islands in 馬祖 area. it's too tough to trip all the islands within two or three days. Mission impossible! I think. You'd better to take your time over there to find out its culture and beauty. their language is different from ours.
