How to get to Kinmen Kinmen Transportation Guide

Kinmen is an island county located in Xiamen Bay, under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Province. Kinmen has many war sites, a long history, and beautiful natural landscapes. The following editor will introduce to you how to get to Kinmen. Come and take a look.

How to get to Kinmen

From the mainland, you can take a boat to Kinmen at Wutong Wharf in Xiamen and Shijing Wharf (Quanjin Wharf) in Quanzhou. Considering that there is a lot of passenger traffic at Xiamen Wutong Pier during the Spring Festival, I took the boat at Quanjin Pier. On weekdays, I personally recommend starting from Xiamen, as there are many ships and the time is fast, saving time.

After arriving in Quanzhou, buy a ticket for Nan'an City at Quanzhou Bus Passenger Transport Center Station. There is no specific boarding time for this ticket. The first bus is at 7 a.m. (during the Spring Festival) and 4:30 p.m. In the past, you could ride with a ticket.

It takes about 1 hour to drive to Nan'an City, get off the bus and walk 1 kilometer to Quanjin Pier.

It is recommended to purchase ferry tickets in advance. There are many online channels. Arrive at the dock one hour in advance according to the departure time to exchange tickets. During the Spring Festival, the number of tourists here is not very large, and tickets can be purchased on-site. It takes one hour to sail to Kinmen Shuitou Pier. It should be noted that due to thick fog on the day I set off, all sailings were delayed. The 8:30 sailing was delayed for 2 hours before sailing. It is best to check the weather conditions before traveling. Generally speaking, this situation is from February to March. Probably more.

After returning from the tour, there is a k207 bus at the entrance of Quanjin Pier to return to Quanzhou city.

The necessary documents such as Taiwan Entry Permit and Gold Deposit Certificate are convenient and fast, and there are many methods, so I won’t go into details here.

Inland transportation and accommodation

The circumference of Kinmen Island is only 70 kilometers. Although the area is small, the scenic spots are relatively scattered, making it troublesome to visit. You can charter a car to visit the island, or you can take a scheduled tourist bus, but I still recommend renting an electric car to visit, and you can control the time and route yourself. There are car rental companies near Shuitou Pier, or you can contact the B&B owner to arrange car rental. The car rental company will remind you that you can only ride one electric scooter per person, and you will be fined if caught by the police. However, in fact, many locals ride with people, including motorcycles, so you can consider this yourself.

Battery cars can ride for 110 kilometers when fully charged. One car is equipped with two batteries. Each car rental company has several stores where tourists can replace batteries for free. Master the lines and power to avoid accidents. The situation of power outage midway.

There are many B&Bs and hotels on the island, which can be booked on all major travel platforms. However, please be sure to use Google Maps to check the address of the accommodation in advance and calculate the distance between the attractions and the accommodation. It is not recommended to stay in Too remote a place. I live in Kinmen City this time. Although it’s not too far away, it’s nearly 5 kilometers away from Jincheng Town and 20 kilometers away from some scenic spots. Although riding an electric bike is very convenient, riding on the road at night is still quite difficult. _There are few people on this small island. There are few vehicles and pedestrians on most roads. The roads connecting each town are even more rarely populated. During the Spring Festival, country roads seem to be eroded by night, and the shops along the way disappear into the darkness. Only street lights illuminate the road, making it scary and lonely.
