I used to think of fried dough sticks as a greasy, super-calorie food, crumbly like biscuits, but the fried dough sticks in Kinmen broke my perception of fried dough sticks. The fried dough sticks here are more like a twist bread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Any seasoning or dipping sauce becomes more delicious with each bite. I can eat two sticks at a time! If it wasn't for my small appetite, I could eat more🤤 In fact, when I lived here for a few days, I had a fried dough stick for breakfast every day and ate at every famous store. Finally, I chose Hejia and bought ten fried dough sticks to take home as souvenirs for my family 😂 Of course you need to eat the fried dough sticks as soon as possible, so if you want to buy them as souvenirs like me, remember to buy them before you leave. The business of this store is really good. I have to queue up early and wait for a long time before I have a chance to buy something. So remember to go there early to avoid disappointment🤤 Address: No. 43, Beimenli Vegetable Market Road, Jincheng Town, Kinmen County Business hours: 5:30-11:30 (closed on Thursday) Price: Youtiao and twins are 13 yuan each #Taiwan local travel #parent-child good place #local travel

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If you have the opportunity to travel to Kinmen, be sure to arrange time to taste Yongchun Cantonese porridge. The rice in Cantonese porridge has been fully cooked into porridge and has a strong rice aroma. Although it is hot, people still eat it bite by bite. The ingredients are quite sufficient and the price is very affordable, it is definitely worth a trip! Kinmen Cantonese porridge is made by cooking the rice until it is completely gelatinized, forming a porridge-like texture. There is no rice grain at all in Cantonese porridge, but it has a rich rice aroma.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Kinmen food recommendation: "Ye's Fermented Rice Eggs" is the first fermented rice egg in Kinmen that uses sorghum. It looks very much like tea eggs. It is fermented and brewed with sorghum, wheat, barley, millet and corn, and then cooked with fresh eggs. It tastes delicious. The address of "Ye's Fermented Rice and Eggs" is just near Yuyuan Western-style B&B in Jincheng Town, Kinmen County, where I stayed during my three-day and two-night trip to Kinmen. After searching for nearby food, I found that it was very close and could be reached quickly by car, so I immediately included it in my Kinmen food itinerary recommendation.

Kinmen is a place with a unique atmosphere, where history is deposited, nature is magnificent, and there is a charm of freedom and tranquility intertwined. Walking past Juguang Tower, looking at the long Kinmen Bridge, and watching the sunset slowly fall into the sea with the breeze, you can't help but feel an inexplicable touch. But what impressed me the most was the sea area next to Zhaishan Tunnel, which was deserted. Standing by the sea, there is an endless ocean in front of you, and the waves are rolling violently, making a steady but powerful sound, as if telling endless freedom. In that sea area, there is no hustle and bustle of people, only you and the sea are in close contact. Quiet and magnificent, the sea breeze blows on your face, and you can't help but feel a sense of relief and broad freedom in your heart. Maybe this is the concretization of happiness

There are many small hotpot restaurants nearby in the urban area of ​​Jincheng Town, Kinmen. The location is convenient. The hotpot restaurant "Zhiwei Guowu" near Zhongzheng Elementary School is an a la carte or set meal. Personally, I think the quality of the seafood and meat is fresh and the price is mid-range. , the seating space is comfortable and spacious. You need to ask the clerk to help you get drinks and sauces. It is not self-service. It will be a pity for those who like drinks, rice and sauces self-service bar, but those who like exquisite and personalized service can try it. . #金城 # Pot food

Address: No. 86, Zhongxing Road, Jincheng Town, Kinmen County Atmosphere/Facilities: A unique highlight in the old street, a small shop in the alleys of the old street, interlaced with ancient buildings. The sign attracted me. There were not many tables inside, so I staggered the dining time and chose a spot before closing time. The shop was full of micro-literary youths. Features: Kinmen seems to have many beef noodle shops. This shop’s beef noodles are traditional and innovative, and the side dishes are also different from those in noodle shops. I ordered hand-shredded salted chicken and black rice bowl (the name of the dish attracted me). It is a heavy flavor with a medium price. It’s fresh and delicious~ Price per person: Rating: 🌟🌟🌟 You can try it when you come to the outlying islands

This time I stayed in Yiyuan's economy double room. I was pleasantly surprised by the room, which had a small kitchen counter, refrigerator, laundry detergent, and a small living room.

I have seen many fossil introductions on the National Geographic Channel, but this is the first time I have seen a living fossil like horseshoe crab 😂 This place is very interesting. We came here twice this time because there is not only a pool of live horseshoe crabs (more than a thousand of them!) that can be viewed up close, but there is also an introductory hall that explains the life of the horseshoe crab and its medical contributions. There are so many ponds here, but there is no fishy smell like that in seafood restaurants. The environment is kept very clean. The shop also sells many cultural and creative products and horseshoe crab peripheral products, which are both educational and environmentally friendly.

When I arrived at Juguang Tower, I was already exhausted 😂 After climbing up the stairs to the mountains and going to the sea, I was exhausted, so I had to find a nearby shop to rest. There are many small shops here, some with air-conditioning and some with popsicles. This is the Flower of the Field shop that attracts the most attention. It has an eye-catching camouflage shape. When you enter, it feels like military supplies, but if you look closely, they all have some... As a little fun souvenir, I also bought a magnet strip of the Little Soldier and gave it to my friend who is a soldier 😂 The proprietress loves to take photos and is very enthusiastic. When asked if she could take a photo, the proprietress immediately showed off her signature moves. After that, the boss invited her to try sorghum milk tea and carefully introduced each of his military-inspired designs. The boss lady also recommended us the delicious sausages from the stall next door. It’s a very cute shop!
