To enhance exhibition quality and enrich visitors’ recreational experiences, Kinmen National Park Headquarters (the Headquarters), under the National Park Service, Ministry of the Interior, has completed renovation projects at the Overseas Chinese Culture Exhibition Hall and Hujingtou Battle Museum. Both venues will officially reopen on August 10.

The Headquarters noted that the Overseas Chinese Culture Exhibition Hall centers on the theme of “The Blending of Chinese and Western Cultures in an Overseas Chinese Hometown.” Through exhibitions featuring Western-style mansion architecture, the development of overseas remittances from Kinmenese emigrants, everyday life and customs, architectural ornamentation, and cultural heritage, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the formation and development of Kinmen’s overseas Chinese hometown culture. Hujingtou Battle Museum focuses on Kinmen’s military history and developments during the period of cross-Strait confrontation, offering visitors insight into the historical experiences of troops stationed in Kinmen, as well as their military training and exercises. The public is invited to visit both venues and experience the diverse cultural character of Kinmen, shaped by its distinctive overseas Chinese heritage and battlefield history.

The Overseas Chinese Culture Exhibition Hall, together with the Jinshui Elementary School Exhibition Hall and Deyue Tower Exhibition Hall, forms an integrated exhibition network highlighting the overseas Chinese heritage of Shuitou Village. Hujingtou Battle Museum, meanwhile, provides a comprehensive presentation of Kinmen’s battlefield history and the evolution of cross-Strait relations. The simultaneous reopening of the two venues not only enriches the exhibition offerings of Kinmen National Park but also provides visitors with a more comprehensive and diverse cultural experience. The public is warmly invited to explore Shuitou Village and Hujingtou Battle Museum, discover Kinmen’s overseas Chinese heritage and battlefield history, and experience the island’s distinctive cultural legacy.
