On June 11, 2024, 11 graduates from Lianjiang County Zhongshan National Middle School and Tangqi Elementary School in Beigan Township, Matsu, successfully completed an Ironman Triathlon challenge and received their certificates on the uninhabited island of 'Turtle Island' in Qibitou Village, marking the end of their marine curriculum. This 18-year tradition in Beigan was deemed meaningful by parents, with the challenge involving biking from the school's field, running to the beach, paddling a canoe to the island, and finally receiving graduation certificates from the principal on the rocky shore of Turtle Island amidst calm weather and cheers from parents and teachers, emphasizing the importance of marine education for Matsu students.
