Jincheng Civil Defense Tunnel Introduction
Since 1949, the battlefield of Kinmen, in order to achieve the tactical goal of "preserving combat power underground and demonstrating firepower above ground," began in 1968 to extensively construct underground tunnels using the geological conditions of Kinmen granite. The Jincheng Civil Defense Tunnel is one of them. This tunnel is connected by an underground system to important institutions such as the Kinmen County Government, the Kinmen District Office, the Kinmen County People's Self-Defense Force, the Land Bank, the Water Supply Plant, the Kinmen Electric Company, the Jincheng Station, and the Kinmen Post Office, creating a meticulous network for battle preparedness underground. Now that the warfare is over, the Jincheng Civil Defense Tunnel has become a wartime relic with significant educational value, offering free guided tours daily, allowing visiting travelers to gain a deeper understanding of the anxiety during the war period. At the entrance of the second-floor tunnel, there is an interactive themed backdrop of the Kinmen Veterans Calling, where you can try aiming a grenade from an ammunition box to throw into the bunker!
