Kinmen's God of Wealth Park attracts many tourists and has become a popular spot for those seeking good fortune. The most distinctive feature of the park is the stone-carved Fengshiye in front of Hanyuan Temple, which incorporates characteristics of the twelve zodiac signs, symbolizing a combination of various strengths. This Fengshiye was sculpted by master stone carver Jiang Jie-xiong from Fujian. Its design is quite unique, not only visually striking but also rich in cultural and artistic value. The intricate carvings and details of the Fengshiye, especially the symbolic elements of the twelve zodiac signs such as mouse ears and ox eyes, make it full of meaning. Many visitors touch the Fengshiye or other blessing statues in the park, hoping to bring good luck or wealth. It is a place that combines tourism and blessings. The surrounding scenery of Kinmen God of Wealth Park is also captivating, with the nearby Xixi Stream and the overall environment providing a sense of tranquility. For those who enjoy being close to nature, this is a great place for a leisurely walk and photography. Many people choose to welcome the New Year or participate in festive activities here, seeking peace of mind and good fortune. Since the park is not very large, it may be necessary to combine it with other attractions in Kinmen to make the most of your time. Nearby attractions include Shamel Morocco and Shamel Old Street. Due to its unique carving art and blessing culture, the God of Wealth Park is undoubtedly a must-visit spot in any Kinmen travel itinerary.

Love the vibes there and we visited many war memorial and zone spots. Advise you to bring your sunblock along and their alcohol 高粱酒 is famous and pretty nice to give it a try there! #travelanywhere #taiwantrip

#Taiwan local tour If you want to take the Little Three Links from Kinmen to Xiamen, you have to take a boat at Shuitou Wharf. Some people choose to live in the Shuitou settlement, less than two kilometers away from Li Pier. There are many quaint B&Bs here. There are also many characteristic buildings. Among them, the Deyue Tower was a gun tower built at that time to prevent thieves. The name comes from "the first to get the moon near the water tower". The public security is now good, there is no need to guard against thieves, and we are worried that tourists will be injured, so we do not allow people to climb the stairs. However, the surrounding buildings are well preserved, and you can also visit the higher floors inside, so you can understand the surrounding scenery. It is highly recommended to visit with friends and family, it is very suitable for taking pictures. If you live nearby at night, you can come again to take pictures of the illuminated buildings. If you can take pictures with the reflections, it will be particularly beautiful. #localTravel #Parent-Child Good Place #familytravel

#Taiwan local tour An itinerary you must not miss when you come to Kinmen is to take a Kinmen version of Moses’ Parting of the Sea😍 Experience the feeling of being at the bottom of the sea, thinking of the scene in the movie "Marvel". The ship sunk at the bottom of the sea is full of shells and traces of marine life. Come and visit it for yourself! The steps here are all covered with oyster shells, and then there are small shells, and small crabs can be seen everywhere on both sides. It is just as fun and interesting as the Little Mermaid outing. There is a real-time camera at the entrance. You can see yourself on the 24-hour live video and witness the moment you walked across the sea. It takes about 15 minutes to walk the entire length. You need to walk slowly because it is a road under the sea and is very slippery, so it is safer to have an umbrella and crutches. Look for non-slip shoes. Be careful. After all, if you fall, the shell road will definitely hurt. die. You need to calculate the time of high tide. The total length is about 15 minutes and the round trip takes 30 minutes. You need to leave enough time to walk back. Otherwise, you have to wait until the tide goes out before you can walk back. It will take a long time. This road is very interesting, with endless views of the sea on both sides, and the stunning beauty of the sea and sky. It is a must-do when visiting Kinmen. Address: Just search Jiangong Island on the map Time: 24 hours, pay attention to low tide time #Taiwan local travel#local travel#A good place for parents and children

It is a small island that you need to walk across the sea to reach, so be sure to calculate the tide time carefully. The vendors here are very nice and will remind you how long you have left to go. If the tide is about to rise, they will also tell you to come back quickly or not to go down. Yes, because someone once slandered the island. As a result, he was trapped by the high tide and slept on the island for a night😂 Half of it is a beach and one is a peninsula. The island can overlook the sea. It is also an ancient place where machine guns were placed. You can see farther and it is very beautiful. This is no longer a military base and is open to tourists. It is very suitable for watching the sea, and the beach is very large. It is also suitable for writing and taking photos. Address: Navigate to search for Jiangong Island Time: 24 hours, but pay attention to high tide time Cost: Free #Taiwan local travel#local travel#A good place for parents and children

Kinmen Island, the "Golden Gate Bridge" leading to Lieyu Island, will be opened to traffic in the second half of 2022. It was still a sunny day at the end of May. I was riding a motorcycle through the Golden Gate Bridge. The sea breeze blew on my face, which made me feel a little itchy. The lonely bridge leads to the island, far away from the hustle and bustle, and I forgot all my worries. Entering "Lieyu", many scenic spots were waiting in front of me. I went to see every place. There were caves and empty camps. They were all important bases for coastal defense in the past, and now they have become tourist attractions. Stand closest to Xiamen Island, wait until night, and enjoy the brilliant island light show illuminated by the high-rise buildings on the other side.

Kinmen is not big, so you can do it thoroughly in three days, but it is really good to enjoy the atmosphere. You can see Taiwan from the Juguang Tower, you can walk around the Mosaic Sea, and you can eat local noodles, sugar candies and beef. Go ahead, rent a motorcycle, it’s really suitable. It’s hot but not stuffy here, and every place is filled with historical stories. Even if you’re not interested in history, you can still take a romantic stroll in the sorghum fields. You can also go to the beach at night to chase blue tears. No matter day or night, there are unexpected surprises here. My bestie and I have been friends for more than ten years. After graduation, we have always had a little tradition of taking a bestie trip every year. When my best friend chose Kinmen this time, I actually resisted in my heart. Maybe it was because of the inconvenient transportation on the outer islands and the fact that it was a hot area. Since I have little interest in history, I really couldn’t be interested. Unable to resist the efforts of my best friend to recommend it, and with all the hard work, we headed to Kinmen and embarked on the most unforgettable mysterious trip of my year. When I got off the plane, I was amazed by the gentle breeze blowing. I have lived in Kaohsiung for a long time, and the harsh summer always brings a slightly sticky sea breeze. I actually experienced a completely different climate in the stereotypical Kinmen. It was a The sunshine is warm but not scorching, and the refreshing breeze blows, but it does not bring the humidity that an island should have. Before I came, my suitcase was filled with all kinds of sunscreen oil and mosquito repellent lotion. It was only during this trip that I was surprised to find these two cans intact and unopened in the suitcase. Kinmen is like a mysterious woman, with a heavy story and a beautiful style. History has left many traces here. She still stands there perseveringly, silently flowing her blue tears into the ocean in the dark night. . She is also a woman with delicate thoughts. At every street corner, the inconspicuous oil and electricity boxes leave unique patterns of Kinmen; she is also a chef full of creativity, and the seemingly inconspicuous ingredients are found here. With a special name and unique approach. Her beauty has nothing to do with the wind and the moon. Only through many stories can she have the unique charm of every inch of land. Whether it is a popular tourist attraction or not, or even just walking around a certain town, you can leave your worries behind in an instant and indulge in this space that overlaps with the times. In Kinmen, I think the prices are on par with Taipei, and some are even more expensive than Taipei. But in the outlying island areas, it is understandable that supplies are scarce, so if you want to eat cheaply, you can go to chain stores, the prices are similar to those on the main island. However, it is highly recommended to try some unique foods such as "Egg Dog" and "Sorghum Milk Tea". Not cheap, but really fun. Direct flights from Kaohsiung to Kinmen are not expensive, and if you want to bring more souvenirs, the shipping charges are reasonable and cheap, so you don’t have to worry about buying!

I have arranged a four-day and three-night trip to Kinmen. I have an early flight and a late return flight. I have to pay attention when renting a car and returning it. There are no duty-free products to shop at Kinmen Airport, and it closes after six o'clock. It is too late to take a flight. You will have to wait a while before boarding. Some scenic spots have guided tours and rest periods, so be careful. As for Oucao Beach and Jiangong Island, please pay attention to the tide to avoid not seeing what you want to see.

The tourist season in Kinmen should be October, neither cold nor hot, very comfortable! You can see a lot of ancient house history and battlefield history! The building is very well preserved! There is no need to pay for sightseeing attractions, and the public toilets are very clean! Kinmen is really a great place to travel! Recommended for sightseeing by motorcycle!

In addition, several types of noodles combined with Kinmen's native products, such as "Sorghum Noodle", "Shantou Noodle" and "Sweet Noodle", have a strong Yeouido flavor, which is only available in Kinmen. The generous Hushou Bo has a unique sauce prepared by the noodle line. There are many flavors, such as refined mushroom oil onion, refined spicy sauce, Qing Dynasty royal sauce, vegetarian spicy bean paste, garlic spicy bean paste, etc. It is a great partner for pasta. 3. The new store sorghum handmade egg rolls, live production, and now there are sorghum ice cream cones. I also like their sorghum wine chocolate balls.

It’s Kinmen again, how can we fly to Matsu?

It’s a beautiful place. There’s no rubbish on the beach. There aren’t many people. The atmosphere is great. It’s a good place to kill time and relax. #金门

The room was clean and spacious and very quiet at night. Although it is about a 15-minute walk from the city center, you can see red sorghum and temples on both sides of the road, which is a good walking experience.

Kinmen Zhaishan Tunnel is located in Lieyu Township, Kinmen. It is a military site that is both mysterious and rich in historical value. Entering the tunnel, the slight coolness and dim light form an ancient and mysterious purple color, making people feel like they are in a historical scene from the past, and their hearts are filled with awe. The Zhaishan Tunnel was originally used for military purposes and was built during the Cold War. It was used to enter the canyon to resist external threats and to carry blood vessels out. The historical significance of the canal. Zhaishan Tunnel has now become a special public welfare activity in Kinmen, attracting many tourists who are interested in history and culture. The fault makes it the best place to understand the history of Kinmen and experience the military of the past.

The bow of Tong'an Ferry is located in a corner of Jincheng. For many Kinmen people, it is a suitable place for outing, overlooking, or quietly watching the sunset sink into the sea. When the weather is clear, the tall buildings in Xiamen in the distance seem to be looming only separated by a layer of mist, making them visible at a glance and as if they are within reach. However, behind this peaceful scenery, there is a sad history that few people know about. During the Japanese occupation, at the end of World War II, the Japanese army forcibly recruited more than 500 horsemen from Kinmen. These people were forced to serve in the war and left their homes. The wives and mothers of the snail horsemen are waiting here, staring at the distant sea line day and night, looking forward to their husbands' safe return. However, most of the waiting was endless silence and melancholy. Over time, this place became known as "Wangfu Cliff". Today, Wangfu Cliff stands quietly, and those distant sorrows have gradually been forgotten. When I walked along the ferry bow and saw the "Monument to the Martyrdom of Kinmen Horsemen Forced by Japan", I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. Out of curiosity, I looked up this history and learned about the story of this place. Looking at the scene full of tourists and laughter, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness in my heart - the stories of those people who waited unforgettable and never returned may be forgotten in the past of this land as time goes by. Perhaps those wives who were waiting for their husbands to return home, no matter how far they looked, could never see their husbands returning. Today, traces of history still remain, but fewer and fewer people understand it. I can't help but sigh that when the memory will eventually fade away, the scenery at the head of the ferry may just be scenery. #焄马的Travel Notes #浯岛光游 #金门privateattractions

Kinmen Zhaishan Tunnel is a scenic spot full of historical significance and is widely praised by tourists for its unique landscape and spectacular design. This artificially dug war-ready waterway is located in Gugang Village. It has an A-shaped structure and a total length of 457 meters. It includes tunnels and waterways, which are used for docking of landing boats and transporting supplies during wartime. The mirrored waterways in the tunnels often give people a profound visual effect, which is even more stunning when reflected by still water. Visitors often appreciate the ingenious combination of nature and man-made tunnels in Zhaishan. Every notch in the tunnel records the past excavation process. The sound of waves crashing is endless, forming a natural sound effect with the surrounding granite walls. The Kinmen Tunnel Music Festival is also held here in October. Musicians use the natural speaker effect of the tunnel and combine it with the sound of the ocean tide to create a unique music experience.

This time I had to take the three-way road to Xiamen, so I took some time to go to Kinmen. I personally recommend chartering a car to travel, which can save time in finding intersections, because many famous shops in Kinmen are in the alleys, and it is a bit dangerous for motorcycles to run out of many small roads. This time we found Ms. Xiao who was recommended on the Internet. She was really good and worthy of recommendation. It was just right for our family of four. We didn’t waste time finding directions and took us to several delicious restaurants.

Chen Jinglan Western-style House is undoubtedly the most well-preserved and beautiful Western-style house in Kinmen. Even tour groups charter buses to visit. To take good photos, you must avoid these groups. Although it is located in a remote area, it is well worth the visit because you can take stunning photos. Chen Jinglan Western-style House was built in 1921 by an overseas Chinese businessman returning from Singapore to honor his family. It is currently the largest Western-style house in Kinmen. The exterior is pure white, symmetrical on both sides, and decorated with many carvings. This two-story building was once used as a rest center for soldiers, so even today, some soldiers have fond memories of this place. The blue window sills on the second floor make a striking backdrop for photos, especially if you wear brightly colored clothes. The second-floor terrace is also an excellent spot for photos. With the Western-style house as the background, wearing a vintage dress for photos adds a nostalgic touch!

#Great Places in September 2024 In the General Military Department of the Qing Dynasty, the toilets inside were being repaired. There were mobile toilets, but no drinking fountains were seen. There is a simple souvenir shop inside, which introduces in detail the officers of the General Military Administration, the grades of the martial arts examinations, various hot and cold weapons, and ancient punishments. There is also a dungeon that you can go down to see. There are wax figures of prisoners in the prison. People understand the situation in the prison cell back then. If a child is afraid, don't go down there. There are quite a few rooms inside, and each room has an exhibition introduction. You can spend time viewing it. It would be better if there is a tour guide to explain.

#Great Places in September 2024 Jiangong Island has the reputation of being the Kinmen version of Moses dividing the sea. Four tall "Oystermen" installation art beside the stone road This is the place I am looking forward to during this trip to Kinmen. But the disadvantage is that the muddy road is a bit difficult to walk on. Currently the most visited place in Kinmen. Because the trail is only exposed for an hour every day when the tide is low. The shining sea reflected in the setting sun is very healing, and Xiamen on the other side is also very clear.
