Kinmen Photo Gallery - More of Kincheng

Kincheng was formerly known as Houpu and has a history of some 700 years. It is the economic centre of Kinmen with modern buildings and a major bus station. Yet, there are pockets of dilapidation and historic homes still in function all mixed together.

Chutzu Shrine was built in 1780 as a school. It occupies a large block with a large open space, a contrast to the densely-packed buildings surrounding it.

Downtown remains a residential area, with many homes in various states of buildings.

Being an island, Kinmen is especially famous for its small oysters, which can be served in soup, stir-fried with egg, or with a rice noodle.
