Things to do in Kinmen

Very fun! It can help children develop their observation skills and hands-on abilities. It's the kind of thing kids can play with on their own with LEGOs, and adults only need to help with things that are difficult to assemble.

Super happy! I had originally booked a trip to Dadan Island for February 7th. On February 6th, before boarding the plane, I received a call from the travel agency saying that the waves would be too high on February 7th and 8th, so the trip was canceled and needed to be changed to February 6th. After picking up our luggage around 12 pm on February 6th, the B&B owner took us to Jiugong Wharf and we successfully boarded the island.

Great introduction to Little Kinmen. This is way more expensive than Route G of the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Service, but I didn't know how to book the latter, so thankfully this tour is offered on Klook. The guide also only spoke Mandarin, which was stated in the tour description, but he did try to use Google Translate for me. The other tourist I was with was also helpful in translating what the guide says from Mandarin to English. So, I still recommend the tour even for non-Mandarin speakers.

In addition to visiting the winery, there was also time to see other attractions on this trip. Many thanks to our guide, Mr. Chen, for his detailed explanations. Kinmen is a beautiful place, distinct from other islands, and well worth spending a few extra days to explore each site thoroughly.

Initially, I was worried it might not be good based on the photos, but after the actual experience, I felt the guided tour and explanation were truly worthwhile. I don't have any military sentiment, so I didn't feel anything particularly special about Dadan Island, but it's still worth visiting once in a lifetime. If you have children, I recommend taking the car.
