Dadan Island Landing & Blue Highway Cruise – Half-Day Tour
Step onto Dadan Island, Kinmen's most legendary frontline island, and embark on a cruise along Little Kinmen's Blue Highway. From a unique sea perspective, you'll take in all at once the battlefields and coastal landscapes, including Jiu Gong Tunnel, Siwei Jinsan Tunnel, Donggang Quarry, Nanshantou, Menghu Islet, and Fuxing Islet. Along the cruise, you can gaze upon the unique vista of "Xiamen from the Sea," feeling the layers and historical tension of Kinmen's waters. This half-day itinerary allows you to experience the essence of both battlefield scenery and a sea cruise in one go.
After landing on the island, follow the designated routes to visit important strongholds and memorial landmarks such as Shengming Hall, Zhongzheng Park, Dadan Broadcast Room, Mingwei Park, Xilu Cemetery, Beishan Cliff Dadan Battle Monument, Beishan Temple, the Three Principles of the People Unify China Psychological Warfare Wall, Beishan Firing Range, and Fort 06 North. A local experience of "drinking tea and eating biscuits" at Shenquan Teahouse is also arranged, allowing battlefield memories and island daily life to converge during your journey. The itinerary is also flexibly adjusted according to the tides. If landing on the island is not suitable, an alternative route will connect classic Kinmen attractions such as Shuitou Historic Village, Juguang Tower, and Zhaishan Tunnel, ensuring every departure is fulfilling and worry-free.
