Zheng Chenggong Military Exhibition and Chess Playing Place Introduction
About 1.3 kilometers up from the Yuzhang Archway is the Zheng Chenggong Observation and Chess Playing Area. This was the place where Zheng Chenggong, a Ming Dynasty leader, strategized with his advisers during military campaigns and enjoyed playing chess during leisure time. There is a natural cave at the site, which originally housed ancient tables and chairs with chessboard carvings, but these have since deteriorated. What can be seen now is a later restoration by the Taiwanese military. The platform beside the cave offers a high vantage point, allowing for a clear view of the mainland scenery across the water, as well as the outlines and intersecting fields of the western area of Kinmen Island. Indeed, the Wang Yanping observed the military situation here with exceptional insight.
