Kirin Mountain Forest Park Introduction
Qilin Mountain Forest Park is located in the northern central part of Lieyu Township, with an elevation of 119 meters, making it the highest point on the entire island of Lieyu. Due to ongoing military conflicts in the past, Qilin Mountain Shooting Range was renovated in 1958 for military training purposes. The shooting range ceased operation in 2009 and has since been repurposed for tourism and leisure. The park offers excellent views overlooking the Jinmen Bridge and the Jinlie Waterway. On clear days, visitors can enjoy distant sights of the high-rise buildings along the Xiamen coastline and the scenic views of Dadan Island and Erdan Island. A lookout tower is provided at the summit for hikers to rest and enjoy the scenery.
