Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- While shooting 100 Days in the Matsu Islands, the production team was strandered on the island several times by typhoons, echoing the plight of the film's protagonist.
- Director Henry Chan picked Qinbi Village on Beigan Island as the film's main setting because the village appeared "untouched by time" and could work as a character in the story.
- Filming in Matsu proved costly because the islands lacked filmmaking infrastructure, forcing the crew to ship equipment and personnel, including trucks, cranes, generators and extras, over to the island.
