The wars, old buildings and settlements in Kinmen

The Battlefield Park--Kinmen

Based on historical records, due to constant harassment by Japanese pirates in the 16th century, the war between the Ming and Cing Dynasties in the 1800s, and the military conflict between the KMT and the Chinese communists during the 1950s- 1980s, the Kimen islands had been turned into a military base for defensive purposes.

Thus, there were several memorable battles that took place here, and for this reason Kinmen is well worth visiting. In addition to the war relics, there are also traditional southern Fujian-style buildings that have been preserved.

It is easy to find that the major settlements on the island reflect the architectural styles typical of Jhangjhou and Cuanjhou. Ancestral shrines form the core of the civilian residences of the settlements, that is, the settlements were built radiating out from a centrally located ancestral shrine. Other than the ancestral shrines, “spirit lion” statues in each settle

ment were also important images and landmarks – these served to fight off or scare away evil spirits or demons.

Buildings of the traditional Southern Min, Western, or a mixture of the two styles have been preserved to this day, which essentially represent the most valuable attractions in Kinmen National Park.

Several important battles were fought on Kinmen, including Guningtou Battle, Dadan Battle, Septe

mber 3rd Bombardment, August 23rd Bombardment and June 17th Bombardment. The August 23rd Bombardment is probably best known, for it is when the island was subjected to over 20 days of constant shelling.

Jhaishan Tunnel is located in an area where the southern coastline of the Kinmen Island protrudes into the sea. It consists of several branch tunnels with A-shaped waterways of a length of 357 meters, which mainly served as barracks and as a base for small naval vessels. And it took five years to constr

uct these tunnels, from 1961 to 1966.
