Fengshang Inspection Station Introduction
Fengshang Inspection Station, located in Jinhua Township, is a defensive outpost built during the Ming Dynasty by General Zhou Dexing of Jiangxia to resist Japanese pirates. It is one of the five inspection stations in Kinmen. The current appearance is from renovations completed in 2013. Due to its unique gate design, it has become a popular spot for social media photos, and many refer to it as the "Mini Great Wall of Kinmen." During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates frequently invaded the coastal areas of China. In the 20th year of the Hongwu era, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang dispatched General Zhou Dexing to garrison the Fujian coast, establishing coastal defense points. A total of five inspection stations were built on Kinmen Island, including Tienpu, Guanao, Chenkeng, Lieyu, and Fengshang. However, all five were destroyed during the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi era when Qing troops captured Kinmen and implemented maritime prohibitions. Additionally, Fengshang Inspection Station is a great place to watch the sunset. After visiting the inspection station, you can also take a stroll to the nearby "Fengshang Guli Shore" and "Sānshào E-065 Station."
