Dadeng Island
大嶝岛
A frontline island off Xiang’an, only a few kilometers from Kinmen across the sea. It features the Heroic Three Islands War Tourism Park, a giant broadcast horn and a small-goods market for trade with Taiwan.
Dadeng Island lies in the southeastern waters of Xiang’an District, facing Kinmen across the sea, at its nearest only a few kilometers away. Together with Xiaodeng Island and Jiaoyu Island, it is known as the “Three Heroic Islands.” The Heroic Three Islands War Tourism Park displays tunnels, gun emplacements from the artillery-duel period, and the giant broadcast horns used to address Kinmen. Visitors can use binoculars to look toward Kinmen. The Dadeng small-goods trading market for Taiwan sells Taiwanese snacks and daily necessities. Admission to the park is about ¥50–80, and it is open approximately 08:00–17:30. The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge and is reachable by car or bus. Xiamen New Airport (Xiang’an) is under construction nearby, so check current transport options on site. Xiaodeng Island has its own entry in this guide.
