Jhaishan or Zhaishan Tunnel (Kinmen, Taiwan)
The Jhaishan or Zhaishan Tunnel / 翟山坑道 is a tunnel in Jincheng Township, Kinmen County. Under the agreement of the Ministry of National Defense, the tunnel can be used by the Republic of China Armed Forces during wartime or for military exercise.
The construction of the tunnel started in 1961 and completed on 22 March 1966, few years after the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1958 between the Republic of China Armed Forces and People's Liberation Army. Due to the lack of manpower and money to preserve the tunnel, it was closed and abandoned in 1986. Later on, there was a growing interest in preserving the national heritage and remembering those who fought for Kinmen, thus on 23 May 1997, the Kinmen National Park took over the management of the tunnel. The tunnel was opened to the public in 1998.
The tunnel is 101 meters in length, 6 meters in width and 3.5 meters in height. There are seven rooms inside that serve as barracks. The tunnel features an A-shaped waterway with 357 meters in length, 11.5 meters in width and 8 meters in height. It was used to conceal small naval vessels.

Cyonglin or Qionglin Village Tunnel (Kinmen, Taiwan)
The Kinmen / 金門縣 / 金门县 village of Qionglin or Cyonglin has an extensive military tunnel or bunker complex that runs underneath and connecting many parts of the village. The tunnel's total length is 1,355 meters with 12 exits and most of the network is 6 meters underground.
Due to the village's key strategic location on Kinmen, all the homes in the villages are connected by a network of tunnels, leading to the nickname Combat Village.
To improve the civil defense fortifications, work was begun on extending and upgrading the tunnels in 1976. With the village office as the center of defenses, the tunnels were extended towards the north and south. A command post was also built under the village office with connecting tunnels to air-raid shelters, bunkers, pillboxes and private homes.

In these southeastern part of Kinmen island, these 357 meter long tunnels were created to protect boats from bombing raids. Today the speakers play classical music instead of air raid sirens!

Jincheng has a major bus station with buses to many parts of the island and also has a very useful tourist office.
Taiwan episode 14 - Kinmen old village and tunnels
Third day in Kinmen. For this one we moved in another part of the island and do one of my favorite activity: urbex (urban exploration). And in Kinmen it's so much fun! You can enter abandoned houses quite easily and you still find the furnitures in it. And everything is so beautiful it's such a pleasure to explore!
We also visited the underground network of tunnels used to hide during the conflict.
I really hope you will enjoy as much as we did!
