Kinmen War Memorial National Park
The primary intent of the Kinmen War Memorial National Park is to preserve the area's
cultural and historical resources. Since the island has been under cultivation for at least
a hundred years, very little in the way of natural ecology still exists there. However, due
to Kinmen's unique geographical location and alternating subtropical continental and
maritime climate, its plant life includes 115 trees more than 100 years old and the unique
occurrence in the Wu River estuary region of the rare plant Sea Chiehtung. Thanks to
Kinmen's status as a relay station along migration routes, it is frequented by numerous
species of birds. A total of 199 species of birds have been spotted here, and the density
of birds is greater than anywhere else in the Taiwan-Fujian area. In addition, Kinmen has
unique value for the study of geographical biology thanks to its location between Taiwan
and the Fujian mainland.
