I'm an explorer, blogger, vlogger, solo traveler, and nomad even if most of the world has been explored already. I enjoy travel, culture and lifestyle. What that means is I don't have a travel style as I will do almost anything and go almost anywhere. I am a self proclaimed travel expert in Taiwan as I have explored every county and set of islands Taiwan has to offer. Come see Taiwan through my eyes!
Come enjoy, see and explore Taiwan with me!
Now when I first researched Kinmen, (I do research sometimes) no one was really saying anything good about it. “Oh, its ok, you can see it all in 3 days.” I don’t know what they were smoking, but Kinmen, in my opinion, is amazing, and by far the best place in Taiwan, hands down! There really isn’t that much information on it. Kinmen, to me, was like being a real-life explorer. Yes, there was information about locations but nothing solid. I was looking for a tank. It said, “oh, it's by the bathroom, beyond the sand dunes, but not past the Wind Lion God.” I’m almost giving up because I can’t find it, then my hard work paid off, in the desolate dunes emerged a rusty old tank. It was like a real adventure for me.
Kinmen consists of Kinmen and Little Kinmen. I went during winter break. It was Frisco weather: cloudy, windy, and cold. I was not prepared. Some of the villages looked like they were from times past. Just the whole place boggled my mind in a good way. This was before going to Matsu, so the terrain and landforms, everything was different from the rest of Taiwan. I didn’t know this, but the tides are very important in Kinmen. Everything changes when the tides are low and high. Magical things happen, buried artifacts of times past and magical pathways appear depending on the tides. You have to figure it out yourself. That's the fun part, or Google.
Kinmen is also heavy with military history past and present, due to its proximity to China. I was so close I could see people walking around in China, with binoculars. But the biggest thing about Kinmen to me are the Wind Lion Gods. They actually are not Gods, but spirits who protect things. Some protect large areas of Kinmen or houses or a community. There are 104, I believe in Kinmen and Little Kinmen. This is like real life Pokemon Go. Yes, there's a map, but it's not detailed. Some Wind Lion Gods are in people's houses. You have to knock on their doors and ask for permission, others are just super hard to find because they are small and in some random locations, while some are huge and easy to see.

I do apologize for the vertical footage.
1. I'm new to the game.
2. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the footage.
My knowledge about these places is what's important, and I know my stuff.
