Beishan Western-style House
北山古洋樓
A two-storey Western-style building whose exterior is pocked with bullet holes; it served as a command post in the Battle of Guningtou and is the most direct war relic.
The Beishan Western-style House stands in Beishan Village, Guningtou, and was built in 1929. During the Battle of Guningtou in 1949, the landing troops used it as their command post. After fierce fighting, its walls were left riddled with bullet holes and shell craters. It has never been repaired, and it keeps its battered original appearance, making it the most striking war site in Kinmen. A nearby information board explains its history. It is free and open all day, but visitors can only view it from the outside. It is a 10-minute walk from the Guningtou Battle History Museum, and the nearby Beishan Broadcasting Wall can be visited at the same time.
