－ Attraction Introduction －
- Qingtian Hall
Located within Mount Taiwu, this spacious hall is 60 meters long, 18 meters wide, and 11 meters high, capable of accommodating thousands of people. It was carved out of the mountain wall by hand after drilling holes and planting explosives. The chisel marks and rock textures on the walls are still visible, creating a spectacular, natural landscape. Connected to other tunnels, it once served as a medical shelter and a combat command center. During wartime, Kinmen moved almost all defense facilities and combat strongholds underground, connecting them with tunnels and creating various spaces for military needs. These tunnels extend across the island, forming a massive underground network, earning it the title of 'Underground Kinmen.' Individuals applying on their own are limited to taking the shuttle bus during the 1st and 4th sessions. - Liuying Military Camp
Formerly the 'Shangyi Engineer Battalion,' the Liuying Military Camp was revitalized by the Kinmen County Government after its closure. It has been planned as a military training and cultural experience park, featuring rich recreational facilities that allow the general public to experience military life. These former combat and physical training facilities have been transformed into a military-themed park popular among young people. The park includes high and low-altitude facility experiences, weapon displays, outdoor climbing areas, indoor climbing areas, and other fun facilities. High-altitude experiences: Rock climbing/zigzag ladder - upper and lower double ropes - three-rope crossing - vine path - floating broken bridge - zip line - high-altitude ball hitting. Low-altitude experiences: 'Weapon Display Platform,' 'Outdoor Climbing Area,' 'Laser Tag Hall,' 'Laser Maze Hall,' and 'Indoor Climbing Area'
