Qing Kinmen Garrison Headquarters
清金門鎮總兵署
The former seat of Kinmen's highest military command in the Qing dynasty. Its four-courtyard government compound now houses exhibits on Kinmen's administrative history.
The Qing Kinmen Garrison Headquarters lies within the old Houpu Street area of Jincheng Township. It was originally the study of Ming-dynasty scholar Xu Xie, was converted into the Kinmen Garrison Headquarters during the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty, and later served as the county government office. It is one of the better-preserved Qing government compounds in Taiwan, China. Today it is an exhibition hall that presents the history of the garrison headquarters and Kinmen's administration through the ages. The old wooden buildings and ancient trees in the central courtyard are great for photos. Admission is free; opening hours are approximately 08:30 to 17:00. It is right next to Model Street and the Mother Chastity Arch of Qiu Lianggong.
