-Itinerary introduction-

  • Jiangong Island: also known as "Pearl Island" is located at the mouth of the Wujiang River. It is a small island with an area of about 500 square meters. It is the outpost connecting the southwest coast of Kinmen Island and Little Kinmen. It is one of the "mainstays of Jiangong Island". It means the name. Due to the very large tidal difference in Kinmen, the stone road connecting Jiangong Island and Kinmen will be completely submerged by sea water at high tide. You can only walk on it at low tide. The high and low tide times are about 12 hours apart. At this time, Jiangong Island looks like a deserted and lonely place. It is an isolated island in the sea, and along the stone road after low tide, you can see the wetland ecology and birds in the intertidal zone. (Adjust the itinerary according to the tide time) (Because the stone road is slippery, please wear non-slip shoes. You can only go to the island after the tide recedes!!)
  • Sleeping Chariot: It only takes ten minutes to walk from Oucuo Village to Oucuo Beach. The fine sand and gentle sea currents make it a good place for nearby residents to walk or swim. The ability to watch the sunrise on the sea is also a major selling point. In addition, when the tide goes out, the remains of a chariot lying on its side on the beach are revealed. It is a rare sight that tourists rush to take pictures. The sleeping chariot quietly dreams of the past wars.
  • Zhushan: It used to be called "Shanzidou" (which means it is protected by mountains). It is located in the southwest of Kinmen, with Datan as the center, and is located on Ji'an Mountain behind Xue's family temple. It was built as Zhushan after the Republic of China. Mountain Park is now planned to have hiking trails and pavilions, overlooking the entire Zhushan settlement, and the scenery is beautiful.・The former residence of Ye Huacheng is a large house on Erluoliu Road. It is not only a representative Minnan-style building. After the renovation, the Liquor History Museum also exhibits the history of gin development, gin and culture, gin and life, as well as brewing, cooking, koji cultivation, With themes such as bottling, it should be a venue with rich cultural connotations, helping foreign tourists and local people understand the gin culture that has gone through the military and civil administration periods and even today, with revenue of tens of billions, and Taiwan's well-known gin culture.

  • Mingyi Old Street: Located outside the north gate of Kinmen City, it has a history of more than 400 years. It is known as the oldest street in Kinmen. Short street houses are lined up on both sides. The four exits of the street originally had narrow gates in the east, west, north and south.
  • Yannan Academy: The terrain is condescending, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire Jincheng town. In the square in front of the academy, there is an installation art of an antique scroll, on which is engraved Zhu Xi's poem "Looking at the Book and Feelings": "Half an Acre of Fangtang A Mirror Open, the skylight, clouds and shadows are lingering together. Ask the canal how clear it is, for there is a source of living water."
