Juguang Tower
莒光樓
A three-storey palace-style pavilion completed in 1952, the landmark of Kinmen and a symbol of the spirit of "Never Forget Ju."
Juguang Tower stands on the southern outskirts of Jincheng Township. Built in 1952 to commemorate the garrison troops, this three-storey building in classical palace style takes its name from the phrase "Never Forget Ju," a historical allusion. Its image was once printed on Taiwan stamps, and it is Kinmen's most familiar landmark. Inside is an exhibition on Kinmen's history and wartime relics; from the top you can overlook the Jincheng urban area and the sea, and it is lit at night. Admission is free, usually 08:30 to 17:00. It is about a 20-minute walk from Jincheng Station and pairs well with Model Street and the Governor's Office.
