Qionglin Battle Tunnel Introduction
The Qionglin Combat Tunnel, with a total length of 1,355 meters, is the largest civil defense tunnel in Kinmen. The complex tunnel system is located beneath Qionglin Village and has 12 entrances connecting to important buildings within the village, as well as to the machine gun bunkers outside the village. The entrance is located directly beneath the Qionglin Village office. The Qionglin Combat Tunnel was completed in 1976 and served as a combat defense facility during the period of confrontation across the Taiwan Strait. The tunnel is equipped with command posts, machine gun ports, and water wells, all prepared for long-term combat. The dim lighting within the tunnel creates a disorienting visual effect, and the narrow, maze-like corridors lead to various areas. When visiting Qionglin, it is worth taking a walk through the Qionglin Combat Tunnel to experience the tense atmosphere of wartime and the hard work put into constructing the tunnel.
