In 2009, the 60th anniversary of the “Battle of Guningtou” was celebrated. The Kinmen National Park Headquarters specially invited renowned local cellist Professor Chang Cheng-chieh to hold the nation’s first 【Guningtou Peace Prayer Concert】 at “Kinmen Zhaishan Tunnel.” This year, the Kinmen National Park Headquarters has once again invited Professor Chang to host the 【2010 Kinmen Tunnels Music Festival】 at “Zhaishan Tunnel.” Compared to last year’s two performances, this year’s festival has expanded to six shows, still under the artistic direction of Chang Cheng-chieh. In addition to Chang’s cello performance, the program also features dizi player Wu Zong-xian, harpist Hong Qi-mei, as well as the string quartet composed of Taipei Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Jiang Zhi-yi, principal viola He Jun-heng, and young violin talent Liang Qian-wen.

Due to the unique nature of the Zhaishan Tunnel venue, to ensure the safety of attendees, each session is limited to 300 participants and will be accessed through a reservation registration system. All individuals aged 10 and above are welcome to attend; those between 10 and 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Additionally, due to the humid conditions inside the tunnel, elderly participants are advised to assess their mobility safety before registering. For more details, please check the official website of the Kinmen National Park Headquarters (http://www.kmnp.gov.tw/).

Located southwest of Kinmen, Zhaishan Tunnel is an A-shaped military waterway, approximately 357 meters in total length. It was excavated in 1963 (the 52nd year of the Republic of China) in response to wartime needs and took three years to complete. During wartime, it served as a landing dock for small boats delivering supplies, and includes a docking area within the tunnel. (Photo courtesy / Kinmen National Park Headquarters)
