Kinmen to remove beach barricades for cross-strait swim
Kinmen authorities will remove spear-like anti-landing barricades from Shuangkou Beach on Little Kinmen (小金門) to facilitate a 5,900m cross-strait swimming event scheduled for August.
Kinmen County Commissioner Lee Chu-feng (李炷烽) said the barricades — aimed at blocking landing crafts — were built in shallow waters of the beach during the Cold War era to prevent an invasion from China. Since there have been no military battles since 1958, the barricades are no longer needed, he said.The barricades will be removed and destroyed to provide a safe beach for swimmers taking part in the first cross-strait mass swim between Little Kinmen and Xiamen in Fujian Province on Aug. 1.
