Kinmen Travel

Shuang Kou Coastal Park is 6 kilometers from Xiamen. It is Kinmen’s closest coastline to Xiamen Island and used to be the place where villagers from Shuangkou boarded the ferry crossing the strait to Xiamen. In 1949, the place became important for frontline coastal defense. To prevent attacks by enemy troops, the villagers dug a trench surrounding the village and set up “anti-landing piles” along the tideline; these magnificent piles extend for a few kilometers.
Shuang Kou Coastal Park has an expansive view and is a great place for watching the sunset as well as enjoying the night view. Also, because the beach here is flat and wide, the annual Kinmen-Xiamen swimming event and Lieyu Taro Festival take place here. It is the best place in Lieyu for holding all sorts of big events.
