Zheng Chenggong Watching Soldiers and Playing Chess Site Introduction
About 1.3 kilometers up from the Yuchang Road Archway, you can reach the Zheng Chenggong Military Observation and Chess Playing Area. This is the place where Zheng Chenggong and his staff observed military operations and played chess during the late Ming Dynasty. There is a natural cave at this location, which originally housed ancient tables and chairs engraved with a chessboard, but they have all collapsed. What is seen today is a later restoration by the Taiwanese military. The platform beside the cave offers a high vantage point where you can point out the scenery across the strait, including the outline and crisscrossed paths of the western part of Kinmen Island, highlighting the keen insight of King Yanping observing the military from this spot.
