Kinmen County, Archipelago county in southeastern Taiwan.
Kinmen County consists of several islands located 10 kilometers east of Xiamen, with Jincheng Township serving as its administrative center.
The region experienced intense military conflicts during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1958, when forces from mainland China launched heavy artillery bombardments.
The local population maintains traditional Hokkien language practices, with residents of the main island speaking Quanzhou dialect and Wuqiu Township using Pu-Xian Min.
Direct ferry services connect Kinmen to Xiamen since 2001, making it a transit point for travelers between Taiwan and mainland China.
Local artisans transform artillery shells from past conflicts into specialized knives, which have gained recognition among professional chefs worldwide.
