Taiwan’s cyanotype murals in Tainan attract many tourists for photos and check-ins, making it a popular attraction. But beyond Tainan, the outlying island of Kinmen also features perspective murals inspired by cyanotype art. Here are three must-visit spots in Kinmen: the breathtaking scenery of Tianpu Reservoir, a healing and adorable giant otter land sculpture, and the Zhongbao cyanotype mural, offering visitors a unique glimpse of Kinmen’s charm.

Tianpu Reservoir
Tianpu Reservoir is located at the easternmost part of Kinmen, where you can admire the stunning lake and mountain scenery, as well as nearby temples and historic architecture. Walking toward the coast, you can even gaze at the majestic beauty of the strait.

Zhongbao Cyanotype Mural

Kinmen has long been home to many painted murals, most of which were political propaganda or military slogans. With the rise of Taiwan’s community mural trend, Kinmen has also seen the emergence of new distinctive murals. The cyanotype mural is hidden in a residential building in Zhongbao District, preserving the original cement structure while featuring an eye-catching perspective mural on the exterior wall.
