Kinmen City Introduction
The history of Kinmen can be traced back to the year 317 AD during the Jin Dynasty under Emperor Yuan. During the Ming Dynasty, the "Qianhu Fortress" was built to resist pirate invasions and protect the residents living there at that time. During the Ming-Zheng resistance against the Qing Dynasty, Kinmen City was a major stronghold. In the 19th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1680 AD), General Chen Long moved the general's office to Houpu, leading to the gradual decline of Kinmen City.
