Erdan Island, Military island in Lieyu Township, Taiwan
Located 12 kilometers from Greater Kinmen Island and 4 kilometers from Xiamen Island, Erdan Island spans 0.28 square kilometers with Mount Jiaoshi reaching 55 meters.
In February 1942, more than fifty anti-Japanese resistance fighters met their end through execution on this small island during World War II.
The Kinmen County Government's Cultural Affairs Bureau recognized Erdan Island as an important battlefield culture landscape in November 2013.
Visitors need special permits to access the island, which transferred from military to civilian control under the Kinmen County government in July 2014.
On August 30, 2022, the island made headlines when Taiwanese soldiers fired warning shots at an approaching Chinese drone near their guard post.
