Zhaishan Tunnel

The Zhaishan Tunnel in Kinmen was built in the early 1960s, following the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis of 1958. They were abandoned in 1986 and could have easily fallen into decay and been forgotten. Soldiers who had served in Kinmen remembered the tunnels and campaigned for their preservation, and they were opened to the public in 1998.

Visitors can walk through and experience the magnitude of this man-made tunnel and adjoining river, which is large enough to conceal small naval ships. It truly provides a rare glimpse into the military battles between Taiwan and China, which would have been lost if not for a few campaigners.
