Jincheng Coastal Recreation Park Introduction
Jincheng Coastal Leisure Park is located next to the mouth of the Wujiang River, with access to the sea on both sides, offering a distant view of Lieyu and Jianggong Islet. The plants within the park are equipped with information boards, allowing visitors to appreciate the beautiful scenery while gaining a better understanding of nature. Next to the park is the "Lion Fort," which was historically used to prevent enemy forces from landing through the mouth of the Wujiang River. It is currently managed by the Kinmen County Senior Citizens' Rights Promotion Association and features military equipment such as cannons, which are open for public viewing. Strolling along the scenic walkway on the park's embankment, visitors can enjoy the rich natural ecology of the mangroves at the mouth of the Wujiang River, where the intertidal zone is home to mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and various shellfish. The surrounding marine area boasts a beautiful coastline and serves as a major wintering ground for birds, with gulls, herons, and sandpipers frequently foraging along the shore. Following the pathway, you can reach the Tong'an Ferry, once a port connecting Kinmen with Xiamen. This area offers a wide view of the vast ocean and is a popular spot for watching beautiful sunsets.
