Jiangjun Fort Introduction

During the Battle of Kuningtou, Mr. Chiang Ching-kuo was escorted under heavy fire by Generals Wang Sheng and Ke Yuan-fen. They took a boat to the front lines to discuss the situation with the Major who was holding the position, paving the way for future victory. To commemorate the soldiers who defended this place day and night in a difficult environment without fear of danger, the site was named General's Fort. During the war, General's Fort was one of the defensive strongholds on Lieyu, located behind Little Kinmen. Its main task was to monitor the "Jinlie Waterway" between Kinmen and Little Kinmen. The fort had 24 machine gun and rifle emplacements. As the hostilities subsided, there are currently no stationed troops. After the management of Kinmen National Park took over, General's Fort was transformed into a small military museum, allowing visitors to step into the war front and experience the tense atmosphere of soldiers defending and preparing for battle in that confined space.
