► The three-day folding bicycle tour route

Achieve a trip with friends to travel to Kinmen cycling!
The day before departure,the Nepartak typhoon came and I thought that the tour would be cancelled,
but fortunately there is no wind and rain in the morning the next day,the aircraft will not be affected!

Take the Changebike to Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport at 7 a.m.,
and the new hard shell transport box can protect the folding bike from being injured in the journey.

We aboard UNI Air,and the weather is fine.

The journey from Taichung to Kinmen is about 50 minutes.

Receive my changebike,it appears to be well protected!

After arriving at Kinmen,we'll take a ride to our three-day two-night stay in the homestay.

Folding Bikes is convenient!It can be placed directly into the rear compartment.

We're going to live here these days.
The"Bicycle Station"where in the Oucuo Village meets our Kinmen bicycle tour!
It is a quaint Southern Fujian style san-kai-long ancient.
The Oucuo Village in Jincheng Township is also the best preserved place.

After a simple arrangement,we formally started our Kinmen trip.

Look back and take a picture of where we live.

It may be used for activities tricycle,temporarily placed here.

Jin He Li Knife,the famous shell knives,
It was the shortage of steels to make knives during the World War II.The bombs were just like raining constantly,
it was such a fantastic news that they got free materials to manufacture more cutlery.

Came to Wu jiang Academy,Kinmen has a strong cultural atmosphere and a strong academic atmosphere.
There were four major academies in Kinmen:Wu jiang academy, Yan Nan academy,Wu Chau academy and Jinshan academy.

At present,the Wu jiang Academy,which we saw,was reconstructed by the Kinmen government as it was,
and is now the most complete Academy.

The most important Jincheng Civil Defense Tunnel in wartime is the main line,
which connects all important units such as important military,political,financial,and school units in Kinmen County,
and achieves the purpose of "keeping the force underground".
After the passage of a typhoon, there are broken tapes on the windows.

Enter the underground tunnel and feel the tense atmosphere of the war period!

A small wind turbine at the side of a bicycle path,
The appearance looks very designed.Before I know it,I think it is a mobile installation art or street lamp.

In Jinning's ancient architecture,there were no special plans because there were no settlements,
It is a pity that these antique old houses have been abandoned and occupied by the homeless.

Cihu Triangle Fortress,located next to the Cihu in the north of Jinning,far from a row of anti-landing piles can be seen.
This area is surrounded by beaches and the enemy is easy to land,so this is one of the major defensive points.
The beaches were covered with mines and thorns.

The vision above the fort is very broad.In the past,it was the best view to observe the enemy's situation.
Now,after no war,it has become a good scenic spot for bird watching and bird watching.

The loudspeaker in the rear is a famous artistic device.

Inside the Cihu Triangle Fortress,there is also a military discipline with red paint reminder.
At that time,the shells were very expensive.If they were not hit,they would be wasted shells.
This shows that the lack of supplies at that time and their trembling with fear.

There are also safety officer code.What attracts me most is the ninth point:"the old soldier can not call the recruits up in the middle of the night".
See this can not help but feel smile,this rule not only forbids veterans to bully new recruits,
but also prohibits unnecessary consumption of recruits' physical strength and mental strength.

Cihu Nanshan Trail

Shuangli Lake

Nanshan Village,is also a Southern Fujian style building,most have been converted into B&B.

Beishan Old Western Style House,during the Guningtou Battle,there were fierce street fighting in Beishan and Lincuo.

National Quemoy University

To honor the Juguang Tower built by soldiers in the battle of Kinmen and the famous Kinmen image phone booth。

Passing through Shuitou Village.

Zhaishan Tunnel

The left wooden boat is the only small boat that has been replenishment operation.
In those days,the small boat entered the waterway to repair and avoid exposure to enemy fire.

As shown in the map,Zhaishan Tunnel is excavated from the middle of the mountain to the seaside,
transportation and supply boats directly into waterways supply directly to the sea.It can not help but admire the clever and resourceful at that time.

Climb up a section of the ramp to see Xiang de Temple and the ShangQing DiaoLou next to it.
The ShangQing DiaoLou is built by Chen Jinglan's surplus building materials,in order to prevent robbers.

With high horizons and wide horizons,we can give full play to the functions of the watchtower against piracy.

Chen jinglan's Western Style House is the largest Western-style.
At the time of residents to the development of Southeast Asia,after earning money,they return home to build a house.
Unfortunately,Mr. Chen Jinglan, who built the building, could not return to Taiwan because of the outbreak of the war.

Some of the old furniture is still preserved,and the mottled feeling is more like the wind and frost experienced by the old house.
The ancient house had been abandoned for a period of time after the war,and now it is seen that it was completed after renovation.

Look down from the second floor.

It also preserves the original building objects that were built before.

This is located outside the mountain.

After the Maple Woods arrived Shanhou Folk Culture Village.
It is a Southern Fujian style building with 16 Historic House and one ancestral and one private school.

The chessboard-style residential buildings are very sophisticated,so far there are still people living.

private school

Shishan(Mt. Lion)Howitzer Front，is a tunnel hidden in the mountains.
It is one of the main points of war,and its shells are very abundant.

The tunnel is dark and damp. When walking, you must be very careful.

There was a commissioner performing the artillery exercise at that time.

The shelves that used to receive shells were converted into tables and chairs.

Mashan Observation Post

This is the closest military stronghold to the mainland.During the war, we also shouted to the other side of the war.
Teresa Teng also broadcast to the other side here.

It is damp inside the tunnel.

From the end of the Observation Post,the other side can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Advance to Taiwu Mountain,Yuzhang Road Honorific Arch,commemorating general Liu Yuzhang,commander of the Kinmen Defense Command.

7/12 Gugang Tower、Ming Dynasty Street、Deyue Tower、Jinshui Elementary School

This is our B&B for two nights.The double room is NT.1600 per night.
Every morning B&B owners will prepare breakfast for us.

There are air-conditioners and televisions and bathrooms in the living room,
lying on the bed and looking at the roof of the beams as if we were back to children,
not now opening their eyes as icy white cement ceilings.

Lobby and the courtyard is a public space,very comfortable.

Because far away from the urban area,there are no stores around, we came back to rest after dinner.
The environment is quiet,accompanied by the sound of frogs in the evening is very comfortable.

Early in the morning,we take a walk in the Oucuo Village.

Gugang Tower

The painted tiles at the entrance stand quietly in the Gugang Tower of the Gugang lake.

Stand on the Gugang Tower and admire the Gugang Lake.

It was once a great town of commercial prosperity.
Because of the war and migration,there was no glory in the past,but still retained a lot of complete Qing dynasty buildings.

Old streets left in the Ming Dynasty.

The new Wind Lion God Jincheng,and next to him is the first Wind Lion God of Kinmen.

To entertain an angel unawares,I thought it was just a small stone.
There used to be one in the East,the West and the north and south,now only this statue has been preserved,extremely precious.

On the wall of the shop,there are decorated in colorful Koji Pottery decoration,attracting every visitor's attention.

Access to residential areas

The Spring Festival couplets in Kinmen are very special.They are painted directly on wooden doors with red paint.

Abandoned wells.

The weather is very hot in Kinmen.Fortunately,there is also this kind of water that you can use for yourself to relieve the heat.

It is the most representative building of Kinmen and the tallest building at that time.

The pirates were rampant,so the house would be built with this kind of high-rise self-protection.
The front is fake,there is only one path to the rear main house,pirates can delay the owners of the house escape time.

There are many artistic creations and small objects in The Wind Lion God Heritage Square next to the Deyue Tower.

Jinshui Elementary School is a fund raising project built by overseas Chinese.
The children who want to give back to their hometown can seriously study and get ahead.
This is a heart and expectation of their hometown students.

Now it has been abandoned and become the exhibition space.
The whole building is a combination of Chinese and Western cultures.
Different from the Western-style appearance,the interior of the use of ancient red brick,
in this position as if you can hear the teacher's lecture and students read the echo.

The last thing to do before the end of the journey is to buy a souvenirs!
After buying some hand gifts,we set foot on the way back.

Take the bus back to Kinmen Airport,ready to fly back to Taiwan.

Kinmen Bike Tour formally draws a period.
With a full touch farewell to this story-filled island.
