Kinmen trip planner

Lying just off from mainland China's southeastern coast, the county of Kinmen consists of a group of islands rich in military history and natural highlights. Contested by communist and nationalist forces during the civil war, Kinmen still has a strong Taiwanese military presence, although many of the old military sites have now been converted into museums offering an insight into the period. The main island has many artificial lakes that attract migratory birds, while preserved and restored traditional villages display fine examples of Ming and Qing-era architecture. The lack of pollution makes trips to Kinmen popular with outdoor adventurers, while its singular history makes it a historian's playground.
