[2024 Kinmen Ocean Art Season] Kinmen｜Looking for the Otter at Night

It was raining that day, so the travel agency thoughtfully called us in advance to ask if we still wanted to go see the otters, but we braved the wind and rain and got a worthwhile experience. The tour guide was friendly and talkative, and explained a lot of interesting facts about Kinmen, interesting facts that casual tourists would not have heard. Finally, I was lucky enough to see an otter with its head popping up and swimming. It was so cute!! Highly recommended!!

Although we didn’t see otters during the tour, Toru learned a lot about otters and Kinmen events from the tour guide’s explanation. Later, he took us to see the Golden Gate Bridge at night and found some spots for us to take pictures. Thank you very much, Mr. Chen. Be careful. Later, when we went to the otter spot on our own, we actually discovered something. We were so lucky!

The night tour at night was quite interesting, but I was unlucky and didn't see the otter. The tour guide was also very polite and professional.

I had the experience of observing wild animals before signing up, so I knew there were unpredictable things. Taihu Lake is a very comfortable spot for wildlife observation. The temperature is suitable, there are no mosquitoes, and the view is very broad. It was actually quite pleasant to walk, chat, stargaze and take in the scenery within two hours. Finally, I was lucky enough to see an otter swish away with its head and tail, interspersed with several scenes of wild birds fishing. It would be perfect if there was no noise from clam season.

The tour guide was interesting and humorous, and also very professional in introducing the habits of otters, helping to pay attention to the movements of otters, and explaining the reasons for the installation of otter notices! A little later, we went again on our own and actually saw wild otters!

Although it was a pity that we didn’t see any otters, the guides were very serious~

Although we were not able to see the lovely wild otters in person during this trip, the children were very happy to receive an otter gift! Taihu Lake is beautiful at night. The tour guide, Mr. Chen, was very talkative and shared many important and minor events in Kinmen, which gave us, who were traveling to Kinmen for the first time, a deeper understanding of this beautiful and simple town. The endangered wild otters need everyone's love and attention. We recommend this trip!

Although we didn’t see any otters, Brother Chen took us on a guided tour of Deyue Tower, which was lit up at night. We learned about the humanities and history of the Western-style building, which was very rewarding.

It's a pity that I didn't see it this time, but the tour guide was very enthusiastic and could ask a lot of questions. Free travel is still recommended.

I was very lucky to see two otters on the same night. It was the first time I observed their activities on the shore so closely, and I also learned how close their habitat is to humans.
