Shangyi Eco-Park Introduction
The Wind Lion God is the representative sacred beast of Kinmen. Upon arriving in Kinmen by plane, the first sight you will see is a large Wind Lion God standing on high ground, which is located in Kinmen County Environmental Park. The Environmental Park was originally an abandoned magnetic clay mining area, and in 1995, it was restored into an environmental park with the assistance of the Environmental Protection Administration, covering an area of 23.92 hectares. The park includes an information center, an area with 64 Wind Lion Gods on Island Lake, a large Wind Lion God, and landscaped greenery. In 2005, the Environmental Protection Bureau moved in, and through everyone's efforts, the Environmental Park has become lush and vibrant. Inside the Environmental Park, there is a lake where wetland areas often see herons flying and foraging. In the center of the lake, an island designed in the shape of Kinmen Island displays the 64 replicas of the Wind Lion Gods from various townships, positioned exactly where they originated, allowing you to enjoy all the Wind Lion Gods from the villages of Kinmen at once. Notably, each Wind Lion God has a unique shape, size, expression, and the magical artifact it holds. Among them, the Wind Lion God from Anqi is the tallest at 378 centimeters, which is worth appreciating in detail. Additionally, there is a Wind Lion God in the park about 15 meters tall, holding a seal and a command flag, which was established at the beginning of the park's construction. The park also provides accessible facilities including accessible restrooms, ramps, and parking spaces.
