Alessandro Gandolfi - Matsu #3

In this image, a tourist visits a military tunnel on Nangan Island, Taiwan, home to bunkers, forts, and kilometers of military tunnels. Just steps from the Chinese coast but under Taiwan's government, the Matsu Islands archipelago has in recent years been among the most strategic fronts in the world. Once inhabited by fishermen, the Matsu Islands (19 in total but only five populated) survive economically thanks to the soldiers who militarily guard its border with China and to curious travelers who appreciate the frontier’s allure. The image has been published in international magazines such as Kometa (France), Animan (Switzerland), and Sette - Corriere della Sera. The image is signed on the back and measures 30x40 cm. It is printed in a limited edition (25 copies) on Hahnemühle Baryta FB 350 g paper and comes with an authenticity certificate.
