Guest House Introduction
The Guesthouse is located at the foothills of Mount Taiwu on the southern side of Xiongshan. It is a tunnel guesthouse embedded in granite, and it was the most famous reception place for foreign guests during the military governance era in Kinmen. Completed in 1980, it is known as the "Underground Hilton." The Guesthouse has a total of 31 rooms located within a 320-meter long tunnel at the back. Currently, two room styles are preserved: one was occupied by former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and the other is Room "018," where Teresa Teng stayed multiple times during her visits to Kinmen to entertain troops. The first floor lobby of the Guesthouse features exhibits centered on "Military Defense Facilities" and "Introduction to the Guesthouse," displaying military landscapes such as rail fences, anti-airdrop stakes, barbed wire, and minefields, illustrating the preparedness environment during the military governance period. The second floor is themed around "Supporting the Troops," showcasing photos and videos of Teresa Teng's visits to Kinmen to entertain soldiers. Do not miss the screening of the documentary "You at the Outpost," which reveals the origin of Miss Teng’s title as “Sweetheart of the Army”!
