Kinmen County Forestry Bureau
Jinsha Township · Museums, Culture & Arts
Located in Jincheng Township, Kinmen, the Forestry Bureau is a lush green attraction in Kinmen. According to local tradition, early Kinmen was once covered with abundant vegetation, but when Koxinga captured Kinmen in the Ming dynasty, many trees were cut down to support construction, leaving the island barren. In 1951, the government began promoting greening, landscape improvement, and reforestation on Kinmen. After repeated setbacks and refinements, the island gradually overcame these difficulties, laid the foundation for its greenery, and improved the living environment for both residents and military personnel.
