Jiangong Islet
建功嶼
A small islet in the sea southwest of Jincheng. A walkway emerges at low tide to reach the island, which has a statue of Zheng Chenggong.
Jiangong Islet lies offshore from Houfeng Harbor in Jincheng Township. It is very small and was formerly called Yuzai, or 'little islet.' Troops were once stationed here, and today it has a stone statue of Zheng Chenggong and tunnel fortifications. Each day at low tide, a stone-paved walkway several hundred meters long emerges, allowing visitors to walk out to the island. At high tide it is surrounded by water, offering a Kinmen-style 'parting of the sea' experience. Check the tide times for the day before going and leave enough time for the return trip so you are not stranded by the rising water. Admission is free, and the sunset here is excellent.
Opening hours
