Zhaishan Tunnel
翟山坑道
A wartime waterway carved into granite in an A-shape, where small landing craft could be moored; Kinmen's most representative battle-era tunnel.
Zhaishan Tunnel lies on the south side of Gugang Village in Jincheng Township. It was excavated in 1961 and completed in 1966, blasted entirely by hand into granite. The main waterway is A-shaped and could shelter dozens of landing craft from artillery fire and allow resupply. Visitors can follow a path into the cool rock cavern and see the ceiling lights reflected on the water. Every autumn, the Tunnel Music Festival is held here. Admission is free, and it is open roughly 08:30 to 17:00. From Jincheng Station, take a bus or cycle for about 15 minutes; it can be combined with a visit to Gugang Lake.
