Where can I see Kinmen from Xiamen?

You can see it from the Yefeng Village on Huandao Road, and the vicinity of the Convention and Exhibition Center is an excellent place to watch it. When the weather is good, you can see the mountains, rivers and houses of Kinmen. The sign "One Country, Two Systems Unifies China" was erected there.

Kinmen Island is an island in Xiamen Bay, with an area of ??151.65 square kilometers and a population of about 105,400. Kinmen Island is about 10 kilometers away from Xiamen City. It was once a frontier military island; it is isolated in the east coast of Xiamen Island. It strangles the throat of Xiamen Port and serves as a barrier in southern Fujian. It looks to Taiwan in the east and Xiamen in the west. In the Ming Dynasty, a city wall was built on the island. Zheng Chenggong once raised troops here.

Kinmen Island is shaped like a butterfly with spread wings, narrow in the middle and wide at the east and west ends, with the east wing being larger than the west wing. The whole island is about 20 kilometers from east to west. The longest point in the north-south direction is at the east end, about 15.5 kilometers. The narrow part in the middle is only 3 kilometers. The main peak, Taiwu, is 253 meters above sea level. There are only small streams on the island, with short sources and small volumes.

In mainland China, the administration of Kinmen is divided into Kinmen County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, but Kinmen Island is controlled by Taiwan. Taiwan also established Kinmen County on the island and made it the so-called Fujian Province of the Republic of China. The provincial government formed the phenomenon of one island and two counties.

Extended information:

After 1949, the Kuomintang regime was divided across the sea. Kinmen County is close to Xiamen and is under the jurisdiction of Taiwan. Kinmen has a history of 1,700 years, but it was only in the past half century that it began to separate from Xiamen. Since ancient times, Jinxia has been a family.

Historically, Kinmen Island has always been under the jurisdiction of Fujian. According to the administrative division sequence of the People's Republic of China, Kinmen County is under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, the People's Republic of China.

The current actual situation: Kinmen is under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan authorities! ?
