Kinmen Jiangong Islet Live Camera – Kinmen's Parting of the Sea
About this camera
This 4K live camera shows Jiangong Islet, a tiny island off the coast of Jincheng Township in Kinmen, Taiwan. It's nicknamed Kinmen's version of Moses parting the sea.
At low tide, the water recedes to reveal a stone path across the tidal flats, and visitors can walk out to the islet. At high tide, the path disappears beneath the water and the islet becomes an island again. On the islet stands a statue of Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong), the 17th-century Ming loyalist who used Kinmen as a base, along with old military fortifications from the Cold War era.
## What you'll see
- The tidal path appearing and disappearing
- Visitors walking across at low tide
- Sunsets over the sea toward mainland China
Checking the tide tables is essential before crossing, and the camera helps visitors see conditions in real time. Kinmen lies just off the coast of Xiamen, and the sunsets across the water are spectacular. The tidal flats are also home to horseshoe crabs and wading birds. The stream is provided by 樂遊金門 (Enjoy Kinmen).
