Jincheng Coastal Recreation Park Introduction
Jincheng Coastal Leisure Park is located next to the estuary of Wujiang River, offering dual seaside views where visitors can gaze at Lieyu and Jianggong Islets. The park features informational boards for its plants, allowing travelers to enjoy beautiful scenery while also learning more about nature. Next to the park stands "Lion Fortress," which was historically used to prevent enemy troops from landing at the Wujiang River estuary. It is now utilized by the Kinmen County Elderly Rights Promotion Association, and the fortress is equipped with military gear, including cannons, which are open for public viewing. Strolling along the scenic pathway along the park's embankment, visitors can appreciate the rich natural ecology of the mangroves at the Wujiang River estuary, teeming with intertidal species like mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and various shellfish. The surrounding coastal waters boast stunning shorelines and serve as a major wintering ground for birds, where gulls, herons, and shorebirds frequently forage along the beach. Following the pathway leads to Tong'an Ferry, a historic port that used to connect Kinmen with Xiamen, offering expansive views and a vast ocean—making it a popular spot for watching beautiful sunsets.
