Kinmen Forestry Bureau Introduction
The Forestry Bureau located in Jinsha Township, Kinmen, is a green spot filled with lush greenery. It is said that in earlier times, Kinmen was a land abundant with flora and fauna. However, during the Ming Dynasty, when Zheng Chenggong captured Kinmen, extensive deforestation occurred to build infrastructure, leading to Kinmen transforming into a barren land. In 1951, to improve the harsh environment, the government initiated a greening policy in Kinmen, aimed at reforestation. After multiple failures and improvements, it finally overcame significant challenges, laying the foundation for Kinmen's greening efforts and enhancing the living environment for both military personnel and civilians. Today, the Kinmen Forestry Bureau covers an area of approximately 36 hectares, originally established as a seedling nursery and directly managed by the Kinmen County Government. It specializes in agricultural crops, seedling cultivation, and research promotion in animal husbandry. The park features a grassy plaza, a visitor's nursery, flower gardens, a waterside area, a specimen area, a forestry exhibition hall, a children's recreation area, and a barbecue area. Additionally, there is a 500-meter-long pine forest avenue that offers a beautiful environment, making it a perfect spot for families to enjoy nature together. Moreover, the Kinmen Forestry Bureau hosts many eye-catching artistic installations, such as a large wooden horse, colorful chairs, and a Dutch windmill, allowing visitors to enjoy the greenery while taking beautiful photos to create wonderful memories. Within the Forestry Bureau, there is also a children's indoor paradise - the Wood Education Interactive Learning Center, nestled among the trees like a secret base. It provides a comfortable space with over 20 types of wooden board games and a large old house model for children to collaboratively construct, enhancing their focus while learning about traditional houses through play!
