With hundreds of years of history to tell, they do a good job of condensing it into what can be a hour or two of walking through the various buildings and reading the stories - in Chinese and English - which basically lay out what went on here since the beginning of migration from China to Kinmen. For those less interested in reading all the stories, the visual presentation is still informative and basically leads one through from the earlier times up to the more recent history of the site. The use of wax figures adds interest, and be sure to see the basement jail. For the nature lovers in your group who reluctantly "came along" to see this historical site, take them to the very back to see the nearly 24M tall "Cotton Tree", which is well over 100 years old. If you are there in the Spring, you're in for a treat with the beautiful orange blossoms.

Matsu Naval Heritage Center The Matsu Islands are located in the northwest corner of the Taiwan Strait, near the Fujian Minjiang River estuary. The islands are rich in military heritage from the Cold War and Straits Crises, which have become integrated with the local culture. Shengli Fort, where you are now, was one of the first military establishments on Nangan, and is a great place to start your exploration of Matsu’s military cultural landscape.

There are not a lot of boats here, but they are interesting. The full-sized canoe, built by Taiwan's Aborigines, is outstanding, as is the Arab Dhow. Admiral Zheng He is China's most famous mariner, there's a model of his treasure ship. The Museum is adjacent to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. There's a cafe and a gift shop. The Museum is closed on Mondays.
