The rural Taiwanese outer islands of Kinmen sit merely 2 miles off the coast of China. Kinmen attracts tourists for its remains from the 1949 Chinese Civil War. It also marks the frontline for Taiwan in its escalating tension with China.

I’m pretty uneducated on the China-Taiwanese conflict, this is a great way to introduce someone to it. I will be doing more research on it for sure.

Beautiful images but the voiceover writing was not that great. Topics and themes with a lot of possible avenues of exploration were brushed over briefly and as a result, it felt too shallow and unmemorable.

Was really into this one until he started saying shit like "does the Chinese army ever stop to appreciate the sunset when they're occupying this island?" Like no dude they probably don't, I hate to break it to you.
