Continue to introduce other scenic spots in Kinmen for you! In the last article I introduced the Tai-Wu Section and Goo-Ning-Tou Section, this article will finish the other famous sections in Kinmen.
The third is Goo- Gung Section. In this section we can see Shui-Tou Village. The village is named as the third excavation among the list. The village seperated into four parts, front boundary, middle boundary, down boundary, and hind boundary. The buildings in the village are like szu-ho-yuan in ancient Taiwan. In the Shui-Tou Village, there is a tower call De-Ueh Tower. That tower is also an excavation, too. The owner of the tower is a man named Hui-Hung Huang who run business in Indonesia and made a big fortune.

Next one is Jhaishan Tunnel; one of the famous tunnels in Kinmen. The tunnel is built in an A-shaped tunnel. Total is 357 meters long. The tunnel took three years to be accomplished. The purpose of the tunnel is to portage some supplies by small landing-boats. Moreover, many people died because of the construction of the tunnel. The tunnel was open to visit on the year 1998.

The next section is Ma-Shan Section. The most special one in this section is Ma-Shan Observation Station. Ma-Shan Observation Station is located in the northest part of Kinmen. There are just 2300 meters between the Ma-Shan Observation Station and the land of China. The main purpose of Ma-Shan Observation Station is to forecast the weather. People can use telescope to see some islands of Mainland China. Sometimes, people even can just see those islands and China by their eyes in a good weather.

The last section is Leh-Ueh Section. Leh-Ueh, another name is Small Kinmen. Located next to Kinmen. The famous scenic spot in Leh-Ueh is Giang-Chung Temple. General Lee is worshiped in the Giang-Chung Temple. Legend says that General Lee is a man who was good at study and military. He loved his citizens and did his best to protect them. At Ming Dynasty pirates domineered between Taiwan and China. Once pirates wanted to invade Leh-Ueh plundered people's fortune. General Lee changed all the leaves into warriors and scared away the pirates. That is the origin of the Chiang-Chung Temple.
