Guest House Introduction
The Welcome Hall is located on the southern foot of Mount Taiwu, at the base of Mount Nianxiong. It is a tunnel hotel built into the granite, and it was the most famous guesthouse for foreign visitors during the era of military governance in Kinmen, completed in 1980, and is known as the "Underground Hilton." The Welcome Hall has a total of 31 rooms located within a 320-meter long tunnel at the rear, with two of the rooms preserved in their original condition: one room was occupied by Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and the other, room "018," was often stayed in by the famous singer Teresa Teng during her visits to Kinmen to support the military. The lobby on the first floor of the Welcome Hall is themed around "military defensive facilities" and "introduction to the Welcome Hall," featuring military landscapes such as rail spike forts, anti-air drop stakes, barbed wire, and minefields, depicting the fully prepared environment during the military governance era. The second floor of the Welcome Hall is themed around "supporting the military," showcasing photos and videos of Teresa Teng's visits to Kinmen. Don’t miss the screening of the documentary "You at the Outpost," which explains the origin of Teresa Teng’s title as the "Sweetheart of the Military"!
