Kinmen or Quemoy (/kɪˈmɔɪ/; see also "Names" section below), officially Kinmen County (Chinese: 金門縣; pinyin: Jīnmén Xiàn), is an island group governed by Taiwan which located just off the southeastern coast of mainland China, including Great Kinmen, Lesser Kinmen, Wuqiu and several surrounding islets. It is one of two counties under the streamlined Fujian Province of the Republic of China. Only about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west to the Chinese city of Xiamen, its strategic position has reflected the significant change of Cross-Strait relations from the battlefront line to the main trading point between two sides. Due to the ongoing issue of the political status of Taiwan, The People's Republic of China (PRC) has continuously claimed Kinmen as part of its own Fujian Province's Quanzhou prefecture-level city.
Kinmen was first named Jīnmén (金門; lit, "golden gate") in Chinese 1387 when the Hongwu Emperor of China's Ming dynasty appointed a military officer to administer the island and protect it from wokou (pirate) attacks. The name is pronounced Jīnmén in the official Mandarin Chinese and Kim-mûi in the native Zhangzhou dialect of Hokkien Minnan. The various names used in English for the islands derive from the Chinese counterparts.

Quick look at what we did in Kinmen on our recent trip. We started in Taipei, took the plane from Songshan Airport and arrived in Kinmen an hour later. We rented two motor scooters, rode to Kincheng to have lunch and further on to Nanshan to check in at our guesthouse. From there we visited Shuangli Lake, the Kuningtou War Museum, and the Loudspeaker Wall at Beishan. Then we rode to Lake Ci and finally watched the sunset at Jiangong Islet. Was a great first day!

Kinmen Island lies just off the shores of Xiamen. There is just 500 meters separating China and Taiwan. I traveled over to the other China by ferry. This is what it was like.

A bridge is being being built between Greater and Lesser Kinmen Islands with the help of mainland Chinese engineers. It is felt (or feared) that the next logical step may be a bridge linking Taiwan to the Chinese mainland.

This is probably the cheapest hotel in Jincheng, the biggest city on Taiwan's Kinmen Island. Hotels are not cheap here. I got this room for 750 Taiwan Dollars, or around $25.
