Rushan Fort Introduction
The Rushan Historic Site is connected to the Zhongshan Memorial Forest, revitalized through national park renovations, transforming the original military facilities into historical sites with educational and tourism value. The park preserves the defensive works of the troops stationed there, recreating the authentic appearance of the battlefield years in Kinmen.

The interior of the fortifications features several soldier wax figures, armed with various weapons, their expressions serious and poses lifelike, as if still on duty. Key military sites such as the command post and anti-aircraft bunkers are presented in their original state, enhanced with sound and lighting effects to recreate wartime scenarios, creating an immersive experience. Rushan Historic Site is not just a static military relic; it serves as an outdoor exhibition hall where visitors can gain a deeper understanding of Kinmen's defense history and battlefield culture. Whether you are a military enthusiast, a history lover, or a family traveler wanting to introduce local history to your children, you will find rich experiences and inspiration here.
