夜猛猛總是肚餓🙀｜台北寧夏夜市食宵夜

返到台北，食完晚飯明明已經飽咗八成，但對於檸檬星星嚟講，去旅行食宵夜根本係另一個胃嘅事🤣

既然都返到台北，睇睇地圖，見到寧夏夜市離台北車站唔算遠，咁就梗係要去行個圈啦！而且一諗起地瓜球、木瓜牛奶，個心已經蠢蠢欲動🙄

🏮 台北寧夏夜市有咩特別？

寧夏夜市係台北其中一個好經典嘅傳統美食夜市，同大型夜市比較，寧夏夜市唔係主打機動遊戲或者大型娛樂設施，反而係一條食食食為主嘅美食夜市。

簡單講就係——

一路行、一路聞香味、一路食，再一路食。😂

如果你鍾意台灣傳統小吃，呢度真係幾啱你。

🍢 寧夏夜市必食咩？

寧夏夜市有唔少台灣經典小食，例如：

🦪 蚵仔煎
🍚 滷肉飯
🍜 大腸蚵仔麵線
🍠 地瓜球、芋頭甜品
🥣 各式傳統湯品
🥤 木瓜牛奶

本身食完晚飯已經飽到八成，所以今次都唔敢亂食太多😂。不過見到地瓜球實在太吸引，最後都係忍唔住買咗一份。

🌙 夜晚十點幾仲係人山人海！

最誇張係，去到夜晚十點幾，寧夏夜市依然 people mountain people sea！

明明已經咁夜，街上仲係好多食客，一邊排隊買小食，一邊拎住飲品周圍行。嗰種熱鬧嘅氣氛，先至係台灣夜市最吸引我嘅地方。

食完飯個肚仔其實真係裝唔落太多好西😂，所以最後就拎住一袋地瓜球，一路行、一路食，滿足一下自己口痕嘅心。

好啦，食夠宵夜，個心癮終於滿足，可以返酒店休息啦！

台北寧夏夜市，下次再嚟食過！👋

Late-Night Cravings 🙀｜Ningxia Night Market Taipei

Back in Taipei, I’d already had dinner and was about 80% full. But if you know me, you’ll know that travelling and late-night snacks are two things that simply cannot be separated 🤣

So, even though I’d just finished dinner, I had a quick look at the map and realised that Ningxia Night Market was not too far from Taipei Main Station.

Well… you know what happened next.

Of course, I had to go for a little wander! And the moment I started thinking about Taipei street food, sweet potato balls and papaya milk, my stomach suddenly seemed to have room again 🙄

🏮 Ningxia Night Market Taipei — What Makes It Special?

Ningxia Night Market is one of the most famous traditional night markets in Taipei, especially if you’re visiting Taiwan for the food.

Unlike some of the bigger Taipei night markets, Ningxia Night Market isn’t really about amusement rides or huge entertainment areas. Instead, it’s all about one thing:

FOOD, FOOD and more FOOD. 😂

Basically, you walk around, follow the delicious smells, spot something that looks amazing… and then somehow end up eating again.

If you’re a fan of traditional Taiwanese food and local street food, Ningxia Night Market is definitely a place to put on your Taipei itinerary.

🍢 What to Eat at Ningxia Night Market?

There are plenty of classic Taiwanese snacks to try at Ningxia Night Market, including:

🦪 Oyster Omelette
🍚 Braised Pork Rice
🍜 Oyster Vermicelli with Pork Intestines
🍠 Sweet Potato Balls & Taro Desserts
🥣 Traditional Taiwanese Soups
🥤 Papaya Milk

There was honestly so much I wanted to try!

The only problem? I had already eaten dinner and was about 80% full, so I really couldn’t go all out this time 😂.

But then I spotted the sweet potato balls.

And yep… resistance was futile.

I ended up grabbing a bag and continued my little food tour around the night market.

🌙 Ningxia Night Market Is Still Packed After 10pm!

The funniest thing was that Ningxia Night Market was still absolutely packed after 10pm!

Even at that hour, there were still plenty of people walking around, queuing for food and carrying drinks and snacks from one stall to another.

It was busy, lively and full of that classic Taipei night market atmosphere.

And honestly, that’s one of the things I love most about visiting Taiwan. Even late at night, there’s always somewhere to grab a bite, wander around and soak up the atmosphere.

🍠 A Simple Late-Night Snack in Taipei

My stomach really couldn’t handle much more after dinner 😂, so I kept things simple with a bag of sweet potato balls.

Just walking around, snacking as I went, was enough to satisfy my late-night cravings.

Sometimes, that’s all you need when travelling — a Taipei night market, some street food and a little late-night wander.

By then, my food cravings were finally satisfied, so it was time to head back to the hotel and call it a night. 👋

Ningxia Night Market Taipei — definitely one to add to your Taipei food itinerary!

Next time, I’m coming back hungry. 😂

🇹🇼 台北食好西～溢香園 🍽️

由金門飛台北，機程大約一個鐘。✈️
落機嗰刻仲係濛濛細雨🌧️，台北個天陰陰，但完全無阻我哋同朋友見面嘅雅興🥳

最重要係——終於又見到斗記們啦！🥹🫶
真係好掛住你哋呀～一個二個快高長大，仲係咁活潑可愛，見到面即刻乜嘢雨都唔重要喇（笑）

朋友一早幫我哋訂咗台北老字號溢香園，話呢度主打江浙菜、上海菜、本幫菜，已經開咗超過40年。

朋友仲同我分享，以前逢年過節，老人家就好鍾意嚟呢度食飯。傳統圓枱，一家人圍埋一齊，熱熱鬧鬧、齊齊整整。諗諗下，華人所講嘅「團團圓圓」，可能就係咁簡單——一張圓枱，一餐飯，一家人坐埋一齊。❤️

🍽️ 今晚食咗啲咩？

🥢 清蒸臭豆腐
呢味幾有驚喜！唔係平時街頭食開嗰種臭豆腐，而係江浙、上海菜館嘅傳統做法。聞落有少少「嗯……幾有個性喎」😂，但食落口感嫩滑，鍾意臭豆腐嘅朋友可以試吓。

🥮 棗泥鍋餅
飯後甜品我幾期待呢味！外層煎到香香脆脆，入面係甜甜嘅棗泥，熱辣辣食幾滋味。傳統上海菜館就係要有呢啲古早味甜品先有feel～

🥖 炸饅頭
外脆內軟，點煉乳食，好邪惡但又忍唔住一件接一件🤣

🥟 小籠包
皮薄餡靚，熱辣辣一籠上枱，大家自然就圍住筷子等（笑）。

🥬 鮮蝦炒青菜
有蝦嘅鮮味，加埋爽口蔬菜，成餐有肉有菜，食落冇咁罪惡🤭

🌶️ 五更腸旺
味道濃郁、香辣惹味，白飯殺手一名！呢味真係好適合大家一齊夾住食。

🍅 蕃茄牛腩
蕃茄酸酸甜甜，牛腩炆到入味，個汁用嚟撈飯……嗯，減肥嘅事留返聽日先算🤣

一枱菜，碟碟都食得幾開心。
但老實講，今晚最好食嘅可能唔係邊一道菜——

而係一班掛住咗好耐嘅人，終於又坐返埋同一張枱。 ❤️見面之後，話題永遠都講唔完。有以前嘅事，有而家嘅生活，亦有將來想做嘅事。明明好似有好多好多嘢想講，但一晚時間，永遠都係唔夠。食完飯，講完笑，影完相，又到咗要講「下次再見」嘅時候。

希望下一次見面，唔使等咁耐。大家都要好好生活，好好照顧自己。願大家各自安好，平安、健康、快快樂樂。🙏❤️

🇹🇼 Eating good food Through Taipei ～ Yishang Garden 🍽️

The flight from Kinmen to Taipei takes about an hour. ✈️ It was still drizzling when we landed 🌧️, and the Taipei sky was looking rather grey and gloomy, but nothing was going to stop us from getting together with our friends! 🥳

Most importantly — we finally got to see the kids again! 🥹🫶I’ve missed you guys so much! You’ve all grown so quickly, and you’re still as lively and adorable as ever. The moment we saw each other, the rain suddenly didn’t matter anymore（smile）.

Our friends had already booked a table for us at Yishang Garden, a long-established restaurant in Taipei. They told us it specialises in Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine, Shanghai dishes and traditional Benbang cuisine, and has been around for more than 40 years.

They also shared that, in the old days, families especially loved coming here during festivals and special occasions. Everyone would gather around a traditional round table, eating, chatting and laughing together.

Thinking about it, perhaps this is what the Chinese idea of “tuán tuán yuán yuán” — reunion and togetherness is really about:
a round table, a good meal, and the whole family sitting together. ❤️

🍽️ So, what did we have tonight?

🥢 Steamed Fermented Tofu
This one was quite a surprise! It’s not the usual street-style stinky tofu, but a more traditional Jiangsu-Zhejiang and Shanghai-style preparation. The smell definitely has a bit of a “Hmm… you’ve got quite a personality!” 😂 moment, but the texture is soft and silky. If you’re a fan of stinky tofu, definitely give it a try.

🥮 Red Date Paste Pancake
I was quite excited to try this for dessert! The outside is pan-fried until fragrant and crispy, with sweet red date paste inside. Best eaten hot — absolutely delicious. A traditional Shanghai restaurant just has to have this kind of old-school dessert to complete the experience～

🥖 Fried Mantou
Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, especially good dipped in condensed milk. Totally sinful… but somehow one piece turns into another, and another 🤣

🥟 Xiaolongbao
Thin skin, juicy filling, and served piping hot. The moment the basket arrived, everyone naturally gathered around with their chopsticks ready.

🥬 Stir-fried Vegetables with Fresh Prawns
Fresh, juicy prawns with crunchy greens. At least there were vegetables on the table, so the whole meal felt slightly less guilty 🤭

🌶️ Spicy Pig Intestine & Duck Blood Hot Pot
Rich, spicy and seriously addictive — a proper rice killer! Definitely one of those dishes that’s perfect for sharing around the table.

🍅 Tomato Beef Brisket
Sweet and slightly tangy from the tomatoes, with the beef brisket braised until wonderfully tender and flavourful. And that sauce… absolutely made for spooning over rice.

Hmm… the diet can wait until tomorrow 🤣

A whole table of dishes, and every single one made us happy.

But honestly, the best thing we had tonight probably wasn’t any particular dish —

It was finally sitting around the same table again with people we’d missed for such a long time. ❤️

Once we got together, there was just so much to talk about.

Stories from the past, life as it is now, and all the things we hope to do in the future. It felt like we had a million things to say, yet somehow, one evening was never going to be enough.

After dinner, after all the laughter and photos, it was time to say those familiar words again:

“See you next time.”

Hopefully, we won’t have to wait quite so long for the next reunion.

Until then, take good care of yourselves and live well. Wishing everyone peace, good health, happiness and all the best. 🙏❤️

尋找寶島の故事～蚵嗲之家 🦪

走喇走喇……金門要同我哋講 Bye Bye 啦 👋

出發去機場之前，當然唔可以錯過最後食蚵嗲嘅機會啦！😋

喺金城車站附近，有一間開咗好多年嘅老店～蚵嗲之家。佢算係金門幾有代表性嘅地道炸物小食店，而位置就喺邱良功母節孝坊（貞節牌坊）旁邊。

🦪 蚵嗲之家有咩特色？

招牌當然就係蚵嗲啦！

將金門石蚵配搭高麗菜等蔬菜，包入麵糊入面落油炸，啱啱炸起，外皮金黃香脆，入面就食到蔬菜嘅甜味，加埋蚵仔嘅鮮味，幾滋味！

而且金門嘅蚵嗲，同台灣本島常見嘅蚵嗲都有少少唔同。金門石蚵通常比較細粒，餡料亦比較多蔬菜，食落相對清爽。

老闆娘同我哋講，製作蚵嗲會用到高麗菜、芹菜、蒜、韭菜、紅蘿蔔等食材，而且高麗菜同紅蘿蔔仲有唔少手工處理嘅工序。

蚵嗲炸到差唔多熟透，再用較高溫逼走多餘油份，等個外皮更加香脆。

我仲同老闆娘傾咗幾句，問佢：「咁你哋一日大約賣幾多個㗎？」

佢話自己又冇特別數過喎 😂
不過如果遇上大時大節，保守估計都可以賣過千個！

真係幾誇張呀～😆

🍡 另一個必食：芝麻球

除咗蚵嗲，芝麻球都好受歡迎！

有花生、紅豆、綠豆餡可以揀，外面沾滿白芝麻，炸完香噴噴，外層微微酥脆，入面就超級煙韌Q彈。

我今次食咗花生味，真係幾好食呀！🥜😋
花生香加埋芝麻香，忍唔住一啖接一啖咁食～

下次你去金門玩，記住唔好錯過呢間地道老店呀！

好喇，唔傾住啦～🚕
架車要出發去機場喇！

金門，下次再見 👋👋
See you next time～💛

The Stories of Taiwan – Oyster Fritters House 🦪

And just like that… it’s time to say goodbye to Kinmen! 👋

Before heading to the airport, we had to squeeze in one last taste of Kinmen’s famous oyster fritters! 😋

Near Jincheng Bus Station, there’s a much-loved old-school local shop called Oyster Fritters House. It’s one of Kinmen’s iconic spots for traditional fried snacks, right next to the Chiang Liang-kung Filial Piety Arch (Chastity Arch).

🦪 So, what’s special about their oyster fritters?

Well, the name says it all — oysters are the star of the show!

Fresh Kinmen oysters are mixed with cabbage and other vegetables, wrapped in batter and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The outside is wonderfully crunchy, while the inside is packed with the natural sweetness of the vegetables and the fresh, savoury flavour of the oysters. Absolutely delicious! 😋

Kinmen’s version is also a little different from the oyster fritters you’ll find elsewhere in Taiwan. The local oysters tend to be smaller, and there’s a generous amount of vegetables in the filling, so the overall taste is lighter and fresher.

The owner told us that the fritters are made with cabbage, celery, garlic, chives, carrots and other fresh ingredients. There’s actually quite a bit of hand preparation involved, especially with the cabbage and carrots.

They’re fried until almost cooked through, then finished at a higher temperature to remove some of the excess oil and give the outside that extra-crispy texture.

While we were there, I got chatting with the owner and asked her,
“Roughly how many do you sell in a day?”

She laughed and said she’d never actually counted! 😂

But during major holidays and festive periods, she reckons they can sell more than a thousand a day!

Now that’s a lot of oyster fritters! 😆

🍡 Another must-try: Sesame Balls

The sesame balls are another popular favourite.

You can choose from peanut, red bean or mung bean fillings. They’re coated in white sesame seeds and deep-fried until beautifully fragrant. The outside is lightly crispy, while the inside is wonderfully chewy and bouncy.

I went for the peanut one this time, and honestly… it was SO good! 🥜😋

The combination of the rich peanut filling and fragrant sesame was seriously addictive. I just kept going back for another bite!

So, if you’re visiting Kinmen, be sure to put this little local gem on your list!

Right, that’s me done for now～🚕
Our ride to the airport is waiting!

Goodbye, Kinmen. See you next time! 👋👋💛

尋找寶島の故事｜水頭翟山線逐站玩 🇹🇼

早上天色麻麻，仲落住微微細雨，可能連個天都知道我哋就快要離開金門。既然嚟到，就當然要玩到盡，今次搭上「金門台灣好行 A 線｜水頭翟山線」，逐站落車慢慢行。

🏯 莒光樓｜金門經典地標
第一站先睇金門代表性地標莒光樓，外形好有氣勢，亦可以順便了解金門嘅戰地歷史。

🏘️ 水頭聚落｜古厝入面竟然有洋樓
水頭聚落最吸引就係中西合璧，傳統閩南古厝旁邊竟然有充滿南洋味嘅洋樓，行一轉就見到金門華僑返鄉嘅故事。

🏫 金水學校｜華僑留俾家鄉嘅禮物
1932 年建成，由南洋華僑出資興建，中西合璧嘅校舍，見證華僑對家鄉嘅心意。

🏮 明遺古街｜時間好似突然慢咗
行入古街，四周都係舊建築同窄巷，遊人唔算多，慢慢行反而幾舒服。

🗼 文台寶塔｜低調，但歷史好深
唔算最搶眼，但歷史感好濃，亦提醒住金門唔只有戰地遺跡。

⛏️ 翟山坑道｜入面竟然咁大！
最後走入翟山坑道，地下通道比想像中深同闊，夏天入去仲有天然冷氣嘅感覺，幾過癮。

一路行落嚟，先發現金門真係好有層次：戰地、古厝、洋樓、古蹟，一條水頭翟山線，就可以一次過睇晒。

金門，原來真係越行越有故事。但要走... 總要飛, 食完晏就出發返台北...

"離離細雨茫茫星光明朝早別來驚慌..."

The Stories of Taiwan｜Exploring the Shuǐtóu–Zhàishān Route 🇹🇼

The morning sky was grey, with a light drizzle falling. Maybe even the weather knew that our time in Kinmen was coming to an end. Since we were here, we might as well make the most of it. So we hopped on the Kinmen Taiwan Tourist Shuttle A Line – Shuǐtóu–Zhàishān Route, getting off at each stop and taking our time to explore.

🏯 Juguang Tower｜A Kinmen Landmark
Our first stop was Juguang Tower, one of Kinmen’s most iconic landmarks. Its grand traditional architecture is hard to miss, and it’s also a great place to get a glimpse into Kinmen’s wartime history.

🏘️ Shuitou Village｜Traditional Homes Meet Western-Style Mansions
What makes Shuitou Village so interesting is its mix of Eastern and Western architecture. Traditional Minnan houses stand alongside grand mansions with a distinct Southeast Asian influence, telling the story of Kinmen’s overseas Chinese returning home.

🏫 Jinshui School｜A Gift from Overseas Chinese
Built in 1932 and funded by overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia, this school blends Chinese and Western architectural styles, reflecting their deep connection to their hometown.

🏮 Mingyi Old Street｜Where Time Seems to Slow Down
Walking through the old street, surrounded by historic buildings and narrow lanes, feels like stepping into another era. With fewer crowds around, it’s the kind of place you can simply slow down and wander.

🗼 Wentai Pagoda｜Quiet, but Rich in History
It may not be the most eye-catching attraction, but Wentai Pagoda has plenty of history behind it, reminding us that Kinmen’s story goes far beyond its wartime past.

⛏️ Zhaishan Tunnel｜It’s Huge Inside!
Our final stop was Zhaishan Tunnel. The underground passage was much deeper and larger than expected. In summer, it even feels like stepping into nature’s own air-conditioning!

After exploring the route, we realised just how much Kinmen has to offer — wartime sites, traditional houses, old mansions and historic landmarks, all packed into one scenic route.

Kinmen really does have stories around every corner. But every journey has to come to an end… and sometimes, you just have to fly. ✈️

After lunch, it was time to head back to Taipei.

尋找寶島の故事～參觀榕園太湖景🇹🇼

續上回：玩完上午嘅台北好行金門 C 線，就去車站附近嘅張記牛肉麵食個午餐。

間舖真係人山人海，要等位先有得食！招牌厚切牛肉麵，牛肉厚厚一片，肉質腍腍又入味，嚟到當然唔可以錯過。至於我呢，食碗牛肉麵又點會夠，梗係要加多碗水餃先叫做滿足啦……呵呵😋

食飽飽之後，下午 1:30 就準時出發，繼續今日嘅金門之旅——台灣好行金門 D 線・榕園太湖線。

第一站嚟到榕園園區，今次一次過參觀八二三戰史館、榕園同俞大維紀念館，根本係「歷史＋冷氣」三合一，軍事迷應該會即場高潮！😂

一落車已經見到一棵棵超巨型嘅百年榕樹，樹蔭處處，成個環境好有 Feel。行入去先去八二三戰史館，聽導覽員講解當年八二三砲戰嘅歷史，先真正感受到當時戰事有幾激烈。

跟住再行去對面嘅俞大維紀念館。紀念館外觀係灰磚綠瓦，入面展示咗呢位「文武雙全」國防部長嘅生平事蹟。

而且最實際嘅係，展館都係有冷氣！🤣 一邊避暑，一邊了解歷史，真係「消暑＋增廣見聞」一次過完成。

之後第二站就去到瓊林聚落。

呢度周圍都係傳統嘅閩南大厝，紅磚牆配上古老建築，影相真係幾靚。導覽員仲特登帶我哋去搵金門非常出名嘅「瓊林鑲壁風獅爺」。

第三站就係陳景蘭洋樓，亦係我覺得全日行程最靚嘅一站！

呢棟純白色嘅羅馬式洋樓面向大海，第一眼望過去真係靚到有種突然去咗歐洲嘅感覺。尤其係二樓露台，望出去嘅海景真係無敵，隨手影幾張都已經好有 Feel，網美相一口氣影十張八張都唔過分。📸

因為真係爆曬、爆熱、爆曬爆熱！🥵 我行咗兩步已經有種就嚟原地融化嘅感覺，最後唯有火速撤退，衝返上去買支雪條續命。🍦

不知不覺，輕輕鬆鬆三個鐘就咁過去喇。好彩呢個時候開始落起微雨，總算幫炎熱嘅天氣降降溫，成個下午都舒服返少少。

差唔多又係 Dinner Time，係時候坐巴士向金城車站方向返酒店，為今日嘅行程暫時畫上句號。

金門之旅仲未完㗎，下一站再同你繼續傾計啦！👋😄

The Stories of Taiwan ~ Visiting Rongyuan and Taihu🇹🇼

Picking up from where I left off: After finishing the Kinmen C Line of the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle in the morning, I headed to Zhang Ji Beef Noodles near the bus station for lunch.

The place was absolutely packed, and we had to wait for a table! Their signature dish is the thick-cut beef noodle soup, with generous slices of tender and flavourful beef. Of course, there was no way I was going to miss it. But one bowl of beef noodles was definitely not enough for me, so naturally, I had to add a plate of dumplings to complete the meal… hehe 😋

After filling my stomach, I set off right on time at 1:30 pm for the next part of my Kinmen adventure — the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Kinmen D Line, the Rongyuan–Taihu Route.

My first stop was the Rongyuan area, where I visited the 823 War History Museum, Rongyuan, and the Yu Da-wei Memorial Hall all in one go. Basically, it was the perfect combination of “history + air-conditioning” — military history fans would probably be in heaven! 😂

As soon as I got off the bus, I was greeted by enormous century-old banyan trees everywhere. With their huge canopies providing plenty of shade, the whole place had a really nice atmosphere.

I first visited the 823 War History Museum, where the guide explained the history of the 823 Artillery Bombardment and just how intense the fighting was back then.

Then I headed over to the Yu Da-wei Memorial Hall. The building itself features traditional grey brick walls and green roof tiles, while inside, there are exhibits about the life and achievements of Yu Da-wei, a former Minister of National Defense who was known for being both scholarly and military-minded.

And, most importantly, all the exhibition halls were air-conditioned! 🤣 It was the perfect way to escape the heat while learning about Kinmen’s history — cooling off and broadening my horizons at the same time!

My second stop was Qionglin Settlement.

The area is filled with traditional Minnan-style houses, with red brick walls and historic architecture that make for some really beautiful photo opportunities. Our guide even took us to look for one of Kinmen’s most famous landmarks — the Qionglin Inlaid Wall Wind Lion God.

My third stop was Chen Jinglan Western-style House, which was also my favourite and, in my opinion, the most beautiful stop of the day!

This pure-white Roman-style mansion faces the sea, and the moment I saw it, I honestly felt as if I had suddenly been transported to Europe.

The sea view from the second-floor balcony was absolutely stunning. You could easily take ten or twenty Instagram-worthy photos without even trying. 📸

But here’s my honest advice: after taking your photos, just stay upstairs and enjoy the sea breeze!

Because once you head down to the beach in the blazing afternoon sun, you’re going to regret it! It was seriously scorching hot! 🥵

After just a few steps, I felt like I was about to melt right there on the spot. In the end, I had no choice but to retreat as quickly as possible and rush back upstairs for an ice cream to save my life. 🍦

Before I knew it, three relaxing hours had simply flown by.

Luckily, a light drizzle started to fall around this time, finally bringing some much-needed relief from the heat and making the afternoon a little more comfortable.

It was almost dinner time, so it was time to hop back on the bus towards Jincheng Bus Station and return to the hotel, bringing today’s adventure to a temporary close.

But my Kinmen journey isn’t over yet!

I’ll catch up with you again on the next stop. 👋😄

尋找寶島の故事 🇹🇼｜金門文化與戰地景觀半日遊

完成咗尋日嘅台灣好行 B 線，今日又要一早起床出發！😴 今次坐車去到金門另一邊嘅山外車站，繼續我哋嘅金門探索之旅。

🚌 台灣好行 C 線｜一次過認識金門文化與戰地歷史

由山外車站出發，沿途串連金門東部幾個代表性景點，主要以文化古蹟同戰地景觀為主。

第一站，我哋先去到山后民俗文化村。

一落車，氣氛即刻由一般旅遊景點變成一種好有歷史感嘅小村落。

山后民俗文化村保存咗完整嘅傳統閩南聚落，沿住古厝之間嘅小巷慢慢行，可以見到紅磚牆、燕尾屋脊、木門窗等傳統建築細節。

村落規模唔算太大，所以唔需要趕住「打卡式」咁行。反而慢慢喺巷弄之間散步、影下相，感受一下以前金門人嘅生活環境，會更加有味道。

我哋大約逗留咗 1 個鐘左右，主要建築都參觀咗，亦特登留返少少時間喺村入面慢慢行。

有時旅行真係唔一定要不停趕景點。

坐低望下古厝、行下小巷，感受下昔日嘅氣氛，反而先係旅行最舒服嘅時候。☺️

⸻

💥 下一站：獅山砲陣地

離開山后民俗文化村之後，再搭 C 線去下一站——獅山砲陣地。

如果話上一站係「傳統金門」，咁嚟到呢度，就好似突然轉咗去另一個世界。

由閩南古厝，一下子變成戰地遺跡。

獅山砲陣地保留咗昔日嘅坑道同軍事設施，參觀途中可以了解當年金門嘅防禦部署，以及砲陣地究竟係點樣運作。

部分地方係坑道同地下空間，所以如果打算行得舒服啲，記得著對方便行嘅鞋👟，慢慢行會比較好。

而嚟到獅山砲陣地，絕對唔可以錯過砲操表演！

我之前個 Post 都有分享過，現場響砲嗰一下真係……

好！震！撼！😅💥

隔住手機睇片已經覺得有氣勢，現場嗰種聲音同震感更加係另一回事。

有興趣嘅朋友，可以睇返我之前嗰篇分享～

⸻

🎙️ 鄧麗君也曾在這裡播音

途中再加插了馬山播音站, 最為人熟知的故事之一，就是鄧麗君曾經兩度在這裡向對岸廣播。除了心戰喊話之外，金門的播音也曾穿插流行音樂、閩南語歌曲等內容。

⸻

🏛️ 金門歷史民俗博物館｜從戰地之外，看見金門人的日常

最後一站，我哋嚟到金門歷史民俗博物館。

相比起戰地景點，呢度就更加似係帶你慢慢認識「金門人點樣生活」。

博物館嘅內容唔係單純講戰爭史，而係從金門地方歷史、閩南民俗同日常生活出發，將金門人嘅居住、信仰、產業、婚喪喜慶、傳統建築，以至戰地時期嘅民防生活串連起來。

所以行到呢度，會發現原來金門唔只係「戰地金門」。

喺戰爭、砲火同軍事歷史背後，其實仲有一代又一代金門人嘅生活故事。

而博物館入面有一張叫做「圍爐」嘅主題 Poster，就特別令我停低咗一陣。

畫面入面，一家人圍住圓桌食飯，大家團團圓圓、開開心心。

睇住嗰個畫面，突然諗起自己屋企人以前一齊食飯、過時過節嘅時光。

旅行途中，有時一個畫面、一件小物，反而會令人諗起好多屬於自己嘅回憶。

一家人可以齊齊整整食餐飯，其實已經係一件好幸福嘅事。

所以呀，大家真係要好好珍惜同屋企人相聚嘅每一刻。❤️

⸻

🍜 下午仲有 D 線！

一朝行完咁多景點，當然要食返個靚晏先啦！😆

不過今日嘅金門行程仲未完——下午仲有台灣好行 D 線等緊我！究竟 D 線又會帶我哋去邊？

食個靚晏，休息一陣，再同你地繼續分享金門自由行～

See you later 👋🇹🇼

The Stories of Taiwan 🇹🇼 | A Half-Day Journey Through Kinmen’s Culture & Battlefield History

After completing the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle B Line yesterday, it was another early start this morning! 😴

This time, I headed over to Shanhou Station on the eastern side of Kinmen, ready to discover a completely different side of the island — its traditional culture, local heritage and fascinating battlefield history.

⸻

🚌 Taiwan Tourist Shuttle C Line | A Journey Through Kinmen’s Culture & Wartime Past

Starting from Shanhou Station, the C Line takes you to several of eastern Kinmen’s most interesting cultural and historical sites.

The route is a great mix of traditional villages, historic architecture and battlefield heritage, so there’s plenty to see along the way.

Our first stop was Shanhou Folk Culture Village.

The moment we got off the bus, the atmosphere changed completely. It felt less like a tourist attraction and more like stepping into a quiet village frozen in time.

The village is home to a beautifully preserved traditional Minnan settlement, with narrow lanes winding between old houses. As you wander around, you’ll spot all those classic architectural details — red-brick walls, distinctive swallowtail roof ridges, wooden doors and windows, and plenty of little details that tell you about life in old Kinmen.

The village isn’t huge, which is actually part of its charm. There’s no need to rush from one photo spot to another. Just take a slow stroll through the lanes, stop for a few photos, and soak up the atmosphere.

We spent around an hour here, visiting the main buildings but also leaving plenty of time to simply wander around and enjoy the old-world feel of the place.

Sometimes, the best part of travelling is doing absolutely nothing in a hurry.

Just sitting for a while, looking at the old houses, wandering down a quiet lane and imagining what life was like here generations ago. ☺️

⸻

💥 Next Stop: Shishan Artillery Front

After leaving Shanhou Folk Culture Village, we hopped back on the C Line and headed to Shishan Artillery Front.

If the first stop showed us traditional Kinmen, this one felt like stepping into a completely different chapter of the island’s story.

One minute you’re surrounded by old Minnan houses, and the next you’re exploring tunnels and military fortifications.

Shishan Artillery Front preserves the original tunnels and military facilities, giving visitors a glimpse into Kinmen’s wartime defence system and how the artillery position once operated.

Some sections take you underground, so comfortable walking shoes are definitely a good idea. 👟

And there’s one thing you absolutely shouldn’t miss here…

The artillery drill! 💥

I shared a video of it in one of my previous posts, but honestly, hearing that cannon go off in person was something else.

BOOM! 😅💥

You can watch it through your phone, but being there and actually feeling the sound and vibration is a completely different experience!

If you’re curious, check out my previous post for the video.

⸻

🎙️ Teresa Teng Also Broadcast from Here

Along the way, we’ll also make a stop at the Mashan Broadcasting Station. One of its most well-known stories is that Teresa Teng broadcast to the mainland from here on two occasions. In addition to psychological-warfare broadcasts, the station also aired popular music and Taiwanese (Hokkien) songs across the strait.

⸻

🏛️ Kinmen Historical & Folk Culture Museum | Seeing Kinmen Beyond the Battlefield

Our final stop was the Kinmen Historical & Folk Culture Museum.

After spending the morning exploring military history, this was a nice change of pace. Instead of focusing solely on war, the museum gives you a much broader look at what everyday life in Kinmen was actually like.

The exhibitions cover everything from local history and Minnan traditions to traditional homes, religious beliefs, local industries, weddings and funerals, architecture, and even the everyday lives of civilians during the wartime years.

And that’s when you start to realise that Kinmen is so much more than just a “battlefield island.”

Behind all the stories of war, artillery and military defence are generations of ordinary people — families who lived, worked, celebrated, raised children and built their lives here.

One particular poster titled “Family Reunion Dinner” (圍爐) really caught my attention.

The illustration shows a family gathered around a round dining table, sharing a meal and enjoying a happy moment together.

For some reason, it really hit home.

Looking at that scene suddenly reminded me of my own family — those simple meals together, especially during holidays and special occasions.

It’s funny how travelling can do that. Sometimes it’s not the famous landmark or the spectacular view that stays with you. It’s a small picture, an old object, or an ordinary scene that suddenly brings back memories of your own.

At the end of the day, being able to sit around a table with your family and share a meal together is something pretty special.

So let’s not take those moments for granted. ❤️

⸻

🍜 And Now… Time for the D Line!

After a full morning of exploring, it was definitely time to reward ourselves with a proper lunch! 😆

But our Kinmen adventure isn’t over just yet…

The Taiwan Tourist Shuttle D Line is waiting for me this afternoon! 🚌

So where will it take us next?

First things first — food, a little rest, and then we’ll continue the journey.

Stay tuned for the next chapter of my Kinmen adventure!

See you later 👋🇹🇼

尋找寶島の故事 ~ 台灣好行金門之旅 (B) 🇹🇼

上回提要：
飛機 delay，終於平安抵達金門機場。出發前一早已經上網做定功課，諗住今次跟住「台灣好行」玩金門，方便又唔使自己煩交通，應該萬無一失。

點知⋯⋯

因為班機遲到，原本安排好嘅行程差啲就要泡湯。最後唯有背住全副行李，衝上小黃（的士）追車，啱啱好趕得切下午嘅台灣好行 B 線「古寧頭戰場線」。

一開始就已經咁刺激，真係幾有「戰場線」嘅感覺 😂

⸻

🚌 乜嘢係「台灣好行」？

如果你去台灣自由行，「台灣好行」可以理解成專門連接熱門景點嘅觀光巴士。

對唔想租車、唔想揸車，或者第一次去金門嘅旅客嚟講，其實幾方便。金門嘅台灣好行一共有 A～G 7條路線，每條都有唔同主題，有古蹟、戰地、民俗文化，亦有自然景點。

而我今次搭嘅，就係專門帶大家認識金門戰地歷史嘅——

B 線・古寧頭戰場線 🪖

金門係一個幾特別嘅地方。

明明係離島，生活節奏又慢，但沿途卻不停見到碉堡、坑道、戰地遺跡同充滿歷史感嘅老建築。

有時坐喺車上望出去，會有種好奇妙嘅感覺——
一邊係好平靜嘅島嶼生活，一邊又不斷提醒你，呢度曾經係戰火前線。

而搭台灣好行另一個好處，就係唔需要自己研究點去每個景點，沿途仲有導覽講解，第一次嚟金門會比較容易理解呢片土地嘅故事。

⸻

🕳️ 第一站｜金城民防坑道

第一站已經相當有「代入感」。

由於我哋本身遲到，時間非常趕，加上所有行李都仲背喺身上，結果就咁全副武裝咁行入坑道。

成段路大約行咗 25 分鐘，入面光線比較昏暗，加上地面有啲濕滑，背住行李一路行，真係有少少辛苦。

但亦正正因為咁，反而令人更加容易感受到以前金門嘅戰地氣氛。

金城民防坑道係以前金城地區居民用作避難嘅地下坑道。戰地時期如果遇到砲擊等軍事威脅，居民就會進入坑道暫避。

當你真正行入一條又暗又長嘅地下坑道，唔再只係喺書本睇「戰地歷史」四個字，而係親身感受一下以前居民避難時嘅環境。

第一站，就已經將我由「旅行 mode」拉咗去「戰地 mode」。

⸻

🦪 第二站｜和平紀念園區・意外收穫係「食」

離開坑道之後，去到和平紀念園區。

原本以為今日都係繼續睇戰地遺跡、聽歷史，點知行咗一輪之後，竟然俾我發現——

蚵嗲！🤤

呢個時候真係冇理由錯過。

金門天氣曬，加上一路行景點，其實幾容易肚餓。見到一件啱啱炸起、熱辣辣嘅蚵嗲，二話不說就買咗一件。

外層炸到金黃香脆，入面有蠔肉同蔬菜，趁熱食最好。鹹香之中帶住海鮮味，行到有啲攰嘅時候食落肚，真係幾滿足。

對香港人嚟講，蚵嗲未必係平時成日食到嘅小食，所以如果大家之後行 B 線見到有得食——

唔好淨係影相，買件試吓啦！😂

食完再慢慢行和平紀念園區，反而令我覺得呢度幾有意思。

因為你會發現，金門嘅歷史從來唔係一件「擺喺博物館入面」嘅事。

以前有人喺呢片土地生活、避難、面對戰火；而今日，我哋就喺同一片土地上食住蚵嗲、旅行、影相。

一邊係生活，一邊係歷史。

呢種反差，反而令我更加感受到金門嘅味道。

⸻

🏚️ 第三站｜北山洋樓

之後繼續搭 B 線去北山洋樓。

呢度係成條路線入面，我覺得非常有「金門味」嘅一站。

遠遠望過去，係一座幾有特色嘅老洋樓；但當你行近啲，仔細望住牆身，就會發現上面留低咗好多戰火留下嘅痕跡。

嗰一刻，其實幾震撼。

平時我哋接觸戰爭歷史，大多數都係透過書本、紀錄片、新聞或者博物館。

但當你企喺一座真真正正經歷過戰火、仲保留住痕跡嘅建築物面前，感覺完全唔同。

你會突然明白——

原來今日咁平靜嘅金門，曾經一啲都唔平靜。

⸻

🎖️ 第四站｜古寧頭戰史館

去到古寧頭戰史館，就更加深入了解古寧頭戰役嘅背景。

以前可能只係聽過「古寧頭」呢個地方，但經過導覽、睇返相關資料之後，先真正開始將眼前嘅金門，同兩岸歷史連繫起來。

亦係呢個時候，我開始覺得 B 線唔單止係「去景點」。

佢更似係有人帶住你，一路行、一邊講故事。

當你知道眼前一座建築、一個坑道、一片土地曾經發生過乜嘢，再回頭望返嗰啲遺跡，感覺就完全唔同。

你見到嘅唔再只係一座舊建築，而係一段有血有肉嘅歷史。

⸻

🏰 第五站｜慈湖三角堡

行完一輪戰地景點，最後一站去到慈湖三角堡。

三角堡係金門相當有代表性嘅戰地建築之一，外形呈三角形，當年主要作為防禦工事使用。行到呢度，會更加感受到金門以前作為軍事前線嘅痕跡。

相比起前面嘅坑道、戰史館同北山洋樓，三角堡帶俾我嘅感覺就更加直接——一座座混凝土防禦工事，就咁靜靜地留喺土地上。

而最有趣嘅係，行完一日戰地景點之後，再望返周圍嘅環境，已經完全感受唔到當年嘅緊張氣氛。

眼前係海、係自然景色，仲有一片好平靜嘅天空。上一秒仲喺度了解戰爭，下一秒已經企喺和平嘅風景入面。可能呢種反差，先係今日金門最令人印象深刻嘅地方。

還我河山，金色之城。。。

The Stories of Taiwan ~ Taiwan Tourist Shuttle: Kinmen Trip (B) 🇹🇼

Previously:
After a delayed flight, we finally arrived safely at Kinmen Airport. I’d already done my homework and planned to explore Kinmen by Taiwan Tourist Shuttle — convenient, easy, and no need to worry about driving.

Or so I thought… 😂

Because of the delay, our itinerary almost went out the window. With all our luggage on our backs, we jumped into a local taxi and raced against time.

Luckily, we just made it for the afternoon Taiwan Tourist Shuttle B Line — Guningtou Battlefield Route.

It was already this exciting from the start. Pretty fitting for a “battlefield route”! 😂

⸻

🚌 What is the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle?

Think of it as a sightseeing bus connecting major tourist attractions across Taiwan.

For first-time visitors to Kinmen — especially those who don’t want to rent or drive a car — it’s a really convenient way to explore.

Kinmen has seven routes, A–G, covering everything from historical sites and battlefields to traditional villages and nature.

Our mission this time?

B Line · Guningtou Battlefield Route 🪖

Kinmen is a fascinating place.

It’s a peaceful island with a slow pace of life, yet everywhere you look, there are bunkers, tunnels, battlefield relics and old buildings carrying stories from the past.

One minute you’re enjoying island life.
The next, you’re reminded that this was once a frontline of war.

And with commentary along the way, you get more than just a ride between attractions — you get the story behind them.

⸻

🕳️ Stop 1｜Jincheng Civil Defense Tunnel

Our first stop was already intense.

Because we were late, we had to rush in with all our luggage still on our backs.

About 25 minutes through a dark, slightly slippery tunnel…
Definitely not the relaxing start to the day I had imagined. 😂

But somehow, that made the experience even more immersive.

This underground tunnel was built as a shelter for local residents during Kinmen’s wartime years. In the event of artillery attacks, civilians could take refuge here.

Walking through it makes “wartime history” feel very real.

Travel mode → Battlefield mode.

Just like that.

⸻

🦪 Stop 2｜Peace Memorial Park · Unexpected highlight: FOOD!

After the tunnel, we arrived at Peace Memorial Park.

I expected more battlefield history.

Instead, I spotted—

Oyster fritters! 🤤

Freshly fried, golden and crispy on the outside, packed with oysters and vegetables inside.

After walking around under the Kinmen sun, it was exactly what I needed.

For us Hong Kongers, oyster fritters aren’t exactly an everyday snack, so my advice is simple:

Don’t just take a photo. Get one! 😂

And there was something strangely meaningful about eating a local snack while walking through a place shaped by wartime history.

One side is everyday life.
The other is history.

That contrast is what makes Kinmen so fascinating.

⸻

🏚️ Stop 3｜Beishan Old Western-Style House

Next up: Beishan Old Western-Style House.

At first glance, it’s simply a beautiful old building.

Look closer, though, and you’ll see the scars of war still etched into its walls.

That hit differently.

We usually experience war history through books, documentaries and museums.

Here, the history is literally right in front of you.

Today’s peaceful Kinmen was once anything but peaceful.

⸻

🎖️ Stop 4｜Guningtou Battle Museum

At the Guningtou Battle Museum, we learned more about the Battle of Guningtou and its historical significance.

I’d heard the name “Guningtou” before, but hearing the stories while actually standing in Kinmen made everything feel much more connected.

And that’s what I liked about the B Line.

It’s not simply:

bus → attraction → photo → next attraction.

It’s more like someone is taking you through a story, helping you understand what happened at each place.

Once you know the history, the old buildings and tunnels suddenly look very different.

They’re no longer just ruins. They’re reminders.

⸻

🏰 Stop 5｜Cihu Triangle Fortress

Our final stop was Cihu Triangle Fortress, one of Kinmen’s distinctive wartime defensive structures.

The solid concrete fortifications sit quietly in the landscape, a reminder of Kinmen’s former role as a military frontline.

And yet, standing there today, everything feels incredibly peaceful.

The sea.
The greenery.
The open sky.

One moment, you’re learning about war.
The next, you’re standing in a landscape of peace.

Maybe that contrast is what stayed with me the most.

Return Our Rivers and Mountains.
The Golden City… 🇹🇼

To be continued… 🇹🇼
