[2025 Kinmen Attraction] Travel Guide for Juguang Tower (Updated Jun)

#Taiwan Local Tour Juguang Tower, a landmark of Kinmen, is where the people of Kinmen commemorate their modern benefactor, General Hu Lian. The museum's treasure is the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, which is said to have been stolen by a visitor but later recovered. The construction and development of Kinmen can be said to be closely related to General Hu Lian. In addition to understanding the hardships of our predecessors, you can also overlook the Golden Gate Bridge and take photos with the Golden Gate Telephone Booth. The small shop near the parking lot is also very unique. The proprietress creates the feeling of a military welfare club, wears a similar uniform, and welcomes everyone to take photos with her. The drinks and ice cream are also good👍 #localtravel #goodplaceforfamily #familytravel

Kinmen is not big, so you can do it thoroughly in three days, but it is really good to enjoy the atmosphere. You can see Taiwan from the Juguang Tower, you can walk around the Mosaic Sea, and you can eat local noodles, sugar candies and beef. Go ahead, rent a motorcycle, it’s really suitable. It’s hot but not stuffy here, and every place is filled with historical stories. Even if you’re not interested in history, you can still take a romantic stroll in the sorghum fields. You can also go to the beach at night to chase blue tears. No matter day or night, there are unexpected surprises here. My bestie and I have been friends for more than ten years. After graduation, we have always had a little tradition of taking a bestie trip every year. When my best friend chose Kinmen this time, I actually resisted in my heart. Maybe it was because of the inconvenient transportation on the outer islands and the fact that it was a hot area. Since I have little interest in history, I really couldn’t be interested. Unable to resist the efforts of my best friend to recommend it, and with all the hard work, we headed to Kinmen and embarked on the most unforgettable mysterious trip of my year. When I got off the plane, I was amazed by the gentle breeze blowing. I have lived in Kaohsiung for a long time, and the harsh summer always brings a slightly sticky sea breeze. I actually experienced a completely different climate in the stereotypical Kinmen. It was a The sunshine is warm but not scorching, and the refreshing breeze blows, but it does not bring the humidity that an island should have. Before I came, my suitcase was filled with all kinds of sunscreen oil and mosquito repellent lotion. It was only during this trip that I was surprised to find these two cans intact and unopened in the suitcase. Kinmen is like a mysterious woman, with a heavy story and a beautiful style. History has left many traces here. She still stands there perseveringly, silently flowing her blue tears into the ocean in the dark night. . She is also a woman with delicate thoughts. At every street corner, the inconspicuous oil and electricity boxes leave unique patterns of Kinmen; she is also a chef full of creativity, and the seemingly inconspicuous ingredients are found here. With a special name and unique approach. Her beauty has nothing to do with the wind and the moon. Only through many stories can she have the unique charm of every inch of land. Whether it is a popular tourist attraction or not, or even just walking around a certain town, you can leave your worries behind in an instant and indulge in this space that overlaps with the times. In Kinmen, I think the prices are on par with Taipei, and some are even more expensive than Taipei. But in the outlying island areas, it is understandable that supplies are scarce, so if you want to eat cheaply, you can go to chain stores, the prices are similar to those on the main island. However, it is highly recommended to try some unique foods such as "Egg Dog" and "Sorghum Milk Tea". Not cheap, but really fun. Direct flights from Kaohsiung to Kinmen are not expensive, and if you want to bring more souvenirs, the shipping charges are reasonable and cheap, so you don’t have to worry about buying!

#1月好去地方2025 Arrange a one-day round trip flash trip, stepping into Kinmen, the air still seems to linger the atmosphere of the past battlefield. It seems as if time has not passed, making one imagine how the defenders in those days were ready for battle here.

As night falls, lights illuminate the old streets, and battlefield style and modern life are intertwined, making people feel the weight of history and the preciousness of peace.

Juguang Tower is located in Jincheng Town, Kinmen. It is a famous landmark that has experienced battles of all sizes. It displays General Hu Lian's highest honor, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, praising his invincible spirit.

Flower of the Battlefield - The proprietress of the store is very beautiful, her service attitude is very friendly, enthusiastic and amiable. Opposite is Juguang Tower (comparable to Taipei 101 Building), overlooking Xiamen on the other side.

#Local Tour Preserving the most original style of the artillery base and the different appearances of the Wind Lion Gods located in different places, the night view of Juguang Tower presents a different style. The simplicity of Kinmen is worth visiting.
