Kinmen Tourism Buses (Kinmen, Taiwan)
Kinmen has a bus service specifically for tourists. Day tickets are NTD 200 and include bus rides and guided tours at all destinations (Chinese only). Departure is from the bus station in Jincheng at 8:30and 13:30.
- Line A (morning): to Juguang Tower (莒光樓) and several sites in Shuitou, including traditional architecture, houses by returnees from Southeast Asia (including a Peranakan house) and the Zhaishan tunnels (翟山坑道) an underground navy installation.
- Line B (afternoon): to Guning, north of Jincheng, to several museums and sites related to military history and the battle of 1949 in particular, and a wildlife museum.
- Lines C and D start from Shanwai in the east of the island.
Public buses also go to all parts of the island, including the major sites, the ferry terminal and the airport (red 1 line, 紅一). Buses 7/7A/7B run from the Shuitou Pier, to Shuitou, and finally to Kincheng. Buses 9/10/11 go to the northwest part of the island, particularly the Shuangli Wetland Area and Guningtou Battle Museum. Bus fares are NTD 12 or NTD 24 for long distances (such as from Kincheng to the eastern half of Kinmen). For Little Kinmen, the fare is NTD 10. Understand that buses can be rather infrequent and many do not run late. Also, the bus drivers will skip a station if there is no one waiting there, so press the get off button when you want to get off. Jincheng has a major bus station with buses to many parts of the island and also has a very useful tourist office.

Old Western Style Buildings on Kinmen Island
Examples of the Western style architecture in the village of Shuitou on Taiwan's Kinmen Island. These houses were built by Chinese who made their fortunes in Indonesia and then returned home.
Taiwan episode 14 - Kinmen old village and tunnels
Third day in Kinmen. For this one we moved in another part of the island and do one of my favorite activity: urbex (urban exploration). And in Kinmen it's so much fun! You can enter abandoned houses quite easily and you still find the furnitures in it. And everything is so beautiful it's such a pleasure to explore!
We also visited the underground network of tunnels used to hide during the conflict.
I really hope you will enjoy as much as we did!

中國福建之旅2014.11.12第302集 慈湖三角堡位於慈湖西側,碉堡四周挖掘了類似「護城河」的壕溝,周邊海灘是圍了鐵絲網的雷區,防止敵人越雷池一步.三角堡具有堅固的造型與迷彩外觀,是由塊石與混凝土砌成,內有哨所可供士兵住宿,三個端點均設有瞭望哨與射口,有樓梯可上堡頂,堡上亦設哨站.隨著兩岸情勢轉變,三角堡因而空置,轉而成為追求和平與保育鳥類生態的文化地景.
Kinmen
Kinmen or Quemoy is a small archipelago of several islands of Taiwan including Great Kinmen, Lesser Kinmen, and some islets. Administratively, it is Kinmen County of the streamlined Fujian Province, Taiwan. The county is also claimed by the People's Republic of China as part of its own Fujian Province's Quanzhou Prefecture. It is geographically very near Xiamen, no more than 2 kilometres. Some islands of other counties, such as Wuqiu, were transferred to the jurisdiction of Kinmen County by the ROC government following its defeat in the Chinese Civil War and retreat to Taiwan. Matsu is the other set of islands on the Fujian coast controlled by the Republic of China.

Taiwan episode 16 - Kinmen Shamei : movie theater
This one definitely the movie day.
After being forbidden to enter because of the movie set (see previous episode), Edward wanted to show me a movie set...
That happened to be a movie theater (or was it a movie theater he wanted to show me in the beginning?)
Anyway it was awesome, the abandoned theater was awesome!
I hope you will enjoy this episode!

Taiwan Episode 10 - Seeing China from Taiwan
This episode is the last one of the arch we started with episode 8 (episode 8 9 & 10 should have been only one episode but I realized while editing it was totally impossible).
We are more talkative in this one and after some more wandering in the city we are exploring an old military base in Jiangongyu islet with an improbable yet incredible view over China cityscape in the horizon, looking even more magical with the sunset.
This was the day of our arrival in Kinmen and we already realized this experience was going to be beyond our expectations.
