Wuhushan Introduction
Wuhu Mountain is located near the Shanhou settlement, with an elevation of 127 meters, making it the second highest mountain in Kinmen. At the summit, there is a viewing platform that is suitable for hiking, offering not only a panoramic view of Shanhou Village but also a distant view of the opposite shore. In the past, Wuhu Mountain was a military-controlled area for training soldiers in marksmanship, providing a vast vista. Due to long-term control and sparse population, the mountain's natural landscape has been well-preserved, and it is rich in native plants, as well as home to many insects and birds, providing opportunities to encounter wild peacocks in Kinmen, making it invaluable for ecological research. The Wuhu Mountain Trail is approximately 1.5 kilometers long; from Fengxiang Forest to the Wuhu Mountain Trail entrance, there is a pleasant bicycle path. Alternatively, it can be accessed from across the Shanhou Folk Culture Village, which has a gentler slope. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the Wuhu Mountain viewing platform from the entrance. Next to the entrance, Bei Yue Temple, built during the Song Dynasty, is dedicated to the deity of Bei Yue, Henglian An Tian Xuan Sheng Da Di, known locally as Yue Wang Gong, and is a popular site for worship.
