Find Hotels in Kinmen, Taiwan

Architecturalement c'est absolument magnifique.

Another important aspect of Kinmen to savour is their local alcohol which pack a punch.

Hotel is very clean and look like a new remodel. The service are very good and waitress’ attitude are very good.

walk slower and see more if you from a rush place

Other option is to rent a motor bike for very low cost. Best is that food and shopping is very cheap and you can find many interesting souvenirs to buy for example the famous Jinmen knife. I also recommend to take the tourist lines, there are 4, called A, B, C and D bus lines which you can tike from downtown JinCheng for 160 TWD. I will definitely go back to this island. Also very good routes to Xiamen Mainland China by fast boat. I actually lived in China and took the boat over. Another option is flight from Taibei for a low cost.

Kinmen is also the most accessible bastion of ancient China around. All other such places be in very remote areas in Mainland China and are not very accessible. The food here is slightly more expensive than Taiwan, but it still cheap compared to food in Western Europe and the United States. The oyster omelet is particularly good here. The best purchase on the island is the Kinmen knife. These knives are made from artillery shells shot at Kinmen by Chinese communists during the civil war. They are extremely good quality and very novel.

There is an extensive network of cycling oaths throughout the island and traffic is light. Hiking takes one to the high points of the island which invariably are military fortresses, given the history of the island. Food is local and palatable to the Singaporean taste buds. Be warned though: once you have soaked in the peace and tranquility of KInmen, arriving in Xiamen, China via a ferry ride of half an hour is a psychological shock.

Holiday makers looking for a shopping experience or for plenty of distractions should give this island a miss. But for those keen on cycling, hiking or simply relaxing Kinmen fits the bill. Food is a little difficult to come by if one stays a distance from the various town centers and many B & Bs do not serve meals. However, it is easy to get around the island in taxi cabs, better still cycle. Traffic is light and there is an extensive network of cycling paths.

People are nice & helpful. Rent a car is the best way to travel around Kinmen. To people who are not fans of visiting historial areas, Kinkmen may be a bit boring.

Visit the city to know more about the war history of this island. Visit the museums and the tunnels for a great experience. Take their sightseeing bus routes A, B, C and D for a worthwhile experience and you also get to travel on public buses for free!

You can get more information from the help desk. These people are amazing. They even helped me to change money! At each bus terminal there are maps on the wall, showing you the local attractions. There are so many of them. My only regret is that I did not have enough time to visit all of them. So if you are going to visit it, plan to stay a bit longer, maybe 5 days to enjoy all of them.

There is a great deal of military history on the island. We visited quite a few old military forts. One very famous touristy item on the island are the knives. They take the old mortar rounds and turn them into knives. Bring some extra cash to buy a couple.

Therefore, hitorical, cultural and natural aspects, Kinmen has a special flavor unique to the visitors for a short visit or even better for long stay to savour its beauty.

Most tourist activities are free, including borrowing bicycles for riding around the island. We loved riding bicycles around Xiao Kinmen island (18km) and stopping at all the sites. We also really enjoyed riding scooters around the main island. The Juguang tower is very interesting and beautiful. The traditional Fujian buildings in small towns around the island are so charming and fun to visit. Restaurants were hard to find (for English speakers) but we liked Hong Lou on Mofan st in Kincheng a lot. Highly recommend Maestro Wu's Knife shop. He is an adorable man and has done something really amazing and positive with all the shells that were fired on the island by China. He makes knives out of them! And you can get a demonstration from him when you go there.
