Zheng Chenggong Observation and Chess Playing Site Introduction
About 1.3 kilometers up from the Yuzhang Archway is the Zheng Chenggong Observation and Chess Playing Area. This site served as a place where Zheng Chenggong and his staff observed military maneuvers and engaged in chess games during the late Ming Dynasty. There is a natural cave at the site, which originally housed ancient tables and chairs carved with chessboards, but they have all collapsed. What can be seen now is a reconstruction by the Taiwan military. The platform next to the cave offers a high vantage point, allowing for a clear view of the mainland across the water, as well as the outlines and intricate paths of the western part of Kinmen Island. Indeed, Prince Yanping's observations here showed remarkable insight.
