Kinmen Island

August 23rd Artillery Battle Museum (Kinmen, Taiwan)

The August 23 Artillery Battle Museum / 八二三戰史館 is a museum in Zhongzheng Park, Jinhu Township, Kinmen. The museum was built in 1988 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 23 August 1958 Artillery War during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis.

On the both sides of the museum main entrance are the carving of the names of the 587 ROC armed forces servicemen who lost their lives in the bombardment. On the left side are displayed the main air fighter used by the forces at that time and the main artillery piece. On the right side is one of the amphibious landing craft which played a vital role in transporting troops and materials during the battle.

The museum exhibits historical artifacts in 12 display areas for charts, photographs, documents, relics and models.

In 1958, Summer time as the worsening situation between Taiwan and China, in order to test the limits of the U.S.-Taiwan defense treaty, Mainland China planned to attack Kinmen and Matsu.

At 6:30 pm, on August 23, 1958, the Kinmen archipelago suddenly found them under massive artillery assault from Mainland China. When the Communists temporarily ceased fire on October 5, in just a short period of 44 days, 474,910 shells had landed on the islands. That calculated into an average of four shells per sq meter; the highest density in world record. It almost wiped out the entire Kinmen. The Communists officially stopped the war in 1978 when the United States officially recognized Beijing. The event is commonly referred to as “Battle of 823” in Chinese.

Taiwan episode 15 - Kinmen Jinsha township

Continuing the third day visit of Kinmen, this time in the east part of the island. Visiting an old village, with a lot of urbex since most of it is in ruins, and encountering a cinema crew that will block us to visit an important place of the village.
I hope you will enjoy as much as we did!

Kinmen

Kinmen or Quemoy is a small archipelago of several islands of Taiwan including Great Kinmen, Lesser Kinmen, and some islets. Administratively, it is Kinmen County of the streamlined Fujian Province, Taiwan. The county is also claimed by the People's Republic of China as part of its own Fujian Province's Quanzhou Prefecture. It is geographically very near Xiamen, no more than 2 kilometres. Some islands of other counties, such as Wuqiu, were transferred to the jurisdiction of Kinmen County by the ROC government following its defeat in the Chinese Civil War and retreat to Taiwan. Matsu is the other set of islands on the Fujian coast controlled by the Republic of China.
