The highest mountain on Kinmen, Mt Taiwu rises a colossal 262m above sea level. A road takes you about halfway up to a shrine and a soldiers' cemetery (gōng mù) built in 1952 to honour the ROC soldiers who died in battle.
From here a walking path takes you to the top (one hour). Be on the lookout for a famous stone inscription of one of Chiang Kai-shek's favourite one-liners, 'Wú Wàng Zài Jǔ' or 'Don't forget the days in Ju', which is an exhortation to recover the Chinese mainland based on a legend from the Warring States period in ancient China.
