An attack in the middle of the night that didn't go according to plan, changing the course of history: Guningtou Battle.
Introduction
On December 24, 1949, the Guningtou Battle marked Kinmen as the front line in the long-term standoff between the Communist Party in China and KMT in Taiwan. When the routine shelling on both sides of the Strait finally ended in 1979, the military established this museum to commemorate the historic battle.
The castle-like museum is guarded by M5A1 tanks, the "Bears of Kinmen" that served in Guningtou Battle. Inside, you can see other weapons used, documents and photos of the commanders. Large oil paintings portray the scenes of the battle as they unfolded.
