Hi guys, I'm really excited now Because I'm here at “Moses parted the sea” Have you watched my Penghu video? There's also a beautiful “Moses parted the sea” This is called Jiangongyu Islet, a small islet I can walk to the islet when it's low tide Come on, let's go to Jiangongyu Islet There's an installation art Called Oyster Man You can walk close to it only when it's low tide Here we are See? Men with long legs It was created by a Finnish artist based on Kinmen’s local oyster-raising culture The materials used are meant to convey Kinmen’s war history Ok let's keep going Here also known as Leprosy Islet Because at the end of the Qing Dynasty the medical system here was very underdeveloped Anyone with leprosy would be imprisoned on this Islet Those are military bunkers and ammunition depots etc. There's nothing special here I think I'm here just to see “Moses parted the sea” Alright let's move on to the next one Ok guys, I'm now in Shueitou Village There are 7 settlements in Kinmen This Shueitou settlement have the most luxurious Minnan style Western-style houses among all All are well preserved The most complete western-style buildings in Kinmen are located here Shuitou settlement was formed about 700 years ago The residents mainly have the surname Huang It is near Shuitou Pier Therefore, Here are the transportation points between Kinmen and Xiamen There is a proverb: 有水頭富 無水頭厝 I means that Even if you are rich it’s not easy to have such a luxurious house like here in Shuitou Village So the person who owns a house here is really a big deal The tall building behind me is called Deyue Tower This is a machine gun bunker a defensive bunker When Deyue Tower was built it was during the worst period of public security in Kinmen Therefore, in addition to Deyue Tower the entire village is also full of various defensive structures to prevent bandits from invading Do you see a wooden board here？ I'll tell you how it work When a thief invades this house people fled to the second floor then can see the floor below through this hole you can see where the thief is now You will have enough time to prepare a defense or escape Open this board You can see downstairs from here This is so cool Ok we finished watching this gorgeous Deyue Tower and this luxurious Shuitou settlement Time to go to the next stop Go I'm hungry now Let's have some pork pie It's called Mixiangwu This one is a beef roll My pork pie is not ready yet Look, it's so crispy Let's eat Well..I'm really not good at introducing food So you can tell by looking at my expression I'd been waiting for so long I thought they forgot my pork pie you know? It's like the soup is still boiling inside This pie is their signature It's really good Thin wrapper, tender filling and juicy Very flavorful but not salty or greasy I like it Ok finished. Let's move on Let's go OK guys, this is a very remarkable building It's Beishan Old Western Style House This house was built in 1930 by brothers who were successful in business in the Philippines Because it is in an excellent location Therefore, it was occupied by the Chinese army during the Battle of Guningtou and experienced very intense gun battles and shelling Look, a lot of bullet holes here All of them This is so shocking Got goosebumps However
it's a backpacker's hostel now Very meaningful Although the location here is slightly remote It is very quiet Take you to another place nearby it's Beishan Broadcasting Tower Wait Wait...my motorbike is over there Everybody, now I'm at Beishan Broadcasting Tower What you see now consists 48 huge speakers, 6x8=48 What is this for? This is a psychological warfare facility during the civil war Look over there. Where is that? It's Fujian It is only 2km away from Fujian There are 4 broadcasting towers in Kinmen This Beishan Broadcasting Tower consists 48 speakers It's able to broadcast up to 25km away The tower used to broadcast news in Mandarin and Hokkien every day as well as propaganda criticism, recruitment and surrender, etc. It's also called "Psychological War Tower" Those towers still continues to broadcast Just happened to hear this This is Teresa Teng I am very glad to come to the front line of the free land, Kinmen I feel very happy and blessed I hope our compatriots in mainland China can enjoy the same democracy and freedom as us Only in a free, democratic and prosperous country then can you have the opportunity to realize your dream Nation's future will be full of brightness and hope only if all of you can freely use your talents and talents I hope to be able to return to Kinmen soon to meet with you again And also talk to compatriots on the coast of mainland China I wish everyone good health and democracy lasts forever Thank you Did you hear that?

This is the main tunnel, the longest one This is a branch Main tunnel It's really hard to imagine that they had to survive in this humid, dark and high pressure environment during that time Harsh environment This tunnel was used to dock landing craft during 823 artillery battle What is landing crafts? During wars, supplies and artillery shells will need to be transported If the boat was outside go around and around it would be an obvious target So they dug tunnels like this to carry out supply work inside It is said that some military camps will be stationed here Or wounded soldiers will be sent here So it’s hard to imagine that they could do so many things here Okay, we're done visiting here That's all Let's move on to the next destination Hi guys You see this archway behind me?

Well... Mainland China Let me show you the scale Such a big one A big one There's a Primer container display room This has the same function as the shell case to contain gunpowder and fuses Then install on the warhead, and launch Alright, I'm not gonna for the launching show You can search on the internet You'll find videos about the show Let's head to the next stop Let's go You know what? I saw a girl riding a horse on the way here She's cool Where am I now? I'm at Mashan Observation Post There's a long tunnel as well It is only 1.8 kilometers away from Jiaoyu islet in Xiamen Definitely a front line It's also called "The first outpost in the world" It's a broadcasting tower as well The entrance feels claustrophobic so narrow so small It's broadcasting now so narrow Oh amazing, some beds here There are more and more A bit scary.

Let's go Hey guys This is Vessel-Shape Fortress Let me show you the side view It's very long It looks like a ship that's how it got this name It had a sacred mission a very sacred mission It was built to deceive and lure the enemy Why did they build it like this? Generally, fortresses are designed to be concealed according to the terrain and But the reason this fortress is very conspicuous is to protect the strongholds on the left and right sides There's a stronghold The other one is over there One is called "Hobian Stronghold" The other is called "Pijiuhua Stronghold" No no no Should be "Hanshehua Stronghold" Hanshehua Stronghold Its real purpose is to defend the strongholds on both sides Therefore, it is made into a very streamlined shape If a cannon were fired, it would not hit the fortress directly to the body What's more, the walls of this fort are thicker than those of ordinary forts Up to 150 cm thick Lastly, I'm gonna show you something really amazing What's amazing in this Cunde traditional Chinese pharmacy? First, is white pepper from Malaysia No congee in Kinmen would be without it Secondly is the way they close the shop since 200 years ago The only one in the world Does that door boards need to be marked? Yes There are numbers behind Every piece is different How many years has this been opened? It’s been 191 years since opened And boards needs to be replaced every 60 or 70 years It is consumables The first and last pieces are relatively new They had been replaced Come on, give it a try OK good That's it Thank you In the past, this door would not be opened at night If you want to see a doctor or buy medicine, you have to through this small door Oh Because opening this door is unsafe at night Afraid of bandits So they wouldn't open the main door but this small door Ok, So this is the itinerary for these 2 days I will put the third and fourth day’s itinerary on episode 2 Don't miss it You will definitely want to come to Kinmen even more OK, see you on episode 2
