“Kinmen,” the most remote island from mainland Taiwan

Kinmen is the farthest island from mainland Taiwan. In Korean, it is also commonly called “Kinmen Island”. I went to Kinmen using Kaohsiung Airport (domestic flight), and I used Uni Air, a domestic flight in Taiwan. What was a little strange was that it was not a jet-engine aircraft, but a propeller-driven aircraft. Propeller-driven aircraft were a little strange, but a little scary. It takes less than an hour to take off from Kaohsiung Airport to Kinmen Airport. Kinmen is only about 2km away from China, so in the past, there were big and small frictions due to its geographical location. Even now, traces of that time remain, and there are air-raid shelters, large loudspeakers, and traces of shelling that are no longer in use. Kinmen is famous for its sorghum liquor and kitchen knives made from shell casings. When visiting Kinmen, it is convenient to rent a car or scooter and travel. I also rented a car for 2 days and conveniently traveled around Kinmen. #Kinmen Island #Kinmen #Taiwan travel
