EP91 Kinmen | The Lantern Festival Kidnap

Episode 91 keeps us in Kinmen, heading east to Jinsha Township. Shami Old Street has crumbling yellow walls that locals call "the Morocco of Kinmen," and the Lion Mountain Artillery Fortification still holds the howitzers from the 1958 bombardment, with live artillery drill demonstrations. Over a warming bowl of Kinmen Cantonese congee — rice cooked until the grains completely dissolve — and another round of crispy oyster fritters, the story this week is about a lantern festival gone very, very wrong: three ancient rhinoceros spirits have been stealing the moonlight for a thousand years, and tonight they've decided to steal Tang Monk too.Location: Jinsha Township, KinmenFood: Cantonese Congee | Oyster Fritter
