Golden Gate Tourist Guide Xiamen Golden Gate Island Tourist Attractions

Kinmen county, located in the southeast of Fujian Province, is called "Golden Gate", which means "indestructible and magnificent sea gate". It is located in Weitou Bay and Xiamen Bay in the southeast of Fujian Province, bordering the Taiwan Province Strait in the west and only 23 10 meters away from Chinese mainland. Kinmen is not the place you want to go. You can buy a boat ticket. Kinmen belongs to Fujian Province, but it belongs to Taiwan Province Province, and Taiwan Province Province has troops. Therefore, to go to Kinmen, you have to go through the exit formalities. After that, you should purchase tickets at Shijing Port in Quanzhou or Wu Tong Wharf in Xiamen on the basis of the list of mainland residents applying for a tour group to Kinmen provided by the travel agency and the mainland residents' travel pass to and from Taiwan handled by the entry-exit administration department.

Jinmen islands

Kinmen Island is the main island of kinmen county. It is located in the east of Xiamen Island. The whole island is shaped like a butterfly spreading its wings. Most of the islands are gentle hills, and the commanding height is Wutai Mountain at an altitude of 253 meters. Kinmen Island has beautiful scenery and is also a quiet island. Up to now, there are still many ancient buildings and foreign buildings on the island, including the light gathering building, Zhaishan tunnel, Qing army yamen, Shuitou ancient buildings and many other scenic spots.

Juguang building

Focus Building has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Kinmen. It is located on the concentrated lake in Jincheng. This is an ancient castle-like building with three floors. On the top floor of Juguang, you can have a panoramic view of the tides in Houpu and the Yangtze River, and overlook the scenery of Gongjian Island and the islands as well as the mountains and rivers in the mainland. It became the first stop for many guests to visit Kinmen, and also became a famous landmark building of Kinmen in the battlefield with "Don't forget to be in the center".

Jiangongyu

Gongjian Island is only about 500 meters away from Jinmen Island. No sea water can walk to the island, but when the tide rises, the surrounding area is flooded by sea water. Therefore, when you climb Gongjian Island, it is very important to know the tidal time. On the right front of Gongjian Island, there is a "King Temple of Yanping County". In front of it, you can see the panoramic view of Gongjian Island and overlook the Little Golden Gate. This is a scenic spot where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kinmen.

Shuitou settlement

Located in the southwest of Jinmen Island, it has a history of more than 700 years and is close to Shuitou Wharf. In the early days, it was an important traffic link between Jinmen and Xiamen. Jinmen has retained the most perfect traditional large settlement, full of traditional ancient buildings in southern Fujian and exotic foreign buildings, and has now become a must-see spot for tourists. Among them, the most representative are the second-class historic site "Huang's Pavilion" and the watchtower "Deyue Building".
