Taiwu Mountain is the highest point of Kin Men.  Chiang Kai-shek left words "毋忘在莒" (pronounce as "wu-wang-zai-ju") on the big rock for encouraging the people of Kinmen, including Taiwanese, do not forget the lessons of the war.  A Martyrs memorial is located at the foot of Taiwu mountain for commemorating the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Little Kinmen is an off-shore island of Kin Men, and it is much closer from China.  Little Kinmen also has many ruins reserved from the war.  It is a place worth to visiting.
