Both mainland routes land at Shuitou pier on the southwest corner of Kinmen. From Wutong the crossing is 30 minutes; from Shihu near Quanzhou it is 60. You clear Taiwanese immigration in the terminal building at the pier, so the boat time is not the whole journey.
Shuitou pier, Kinmen
What you need on arrival
- Your passport, matching the name on the ticket.
- The Taiwan Arrival Card, filled in online before you sail.
- Whatever your nationality needs to enter Taiwan. Entry rules differ by passport and are not something we can answer for you.
Going back
The return sailings are a separate booking and a separate set of fares: CNY 193 in standard class leaving Kinmen, including Kinmen’s CNY 36 dock cleaning fee and our CNY 20 booking fee, against CNY 179 leaving the mainland. The same rules apply in reverse, so plan on being back at Shuitou 90 minutes before the boat, and fill in the China Digital Arrival Card before you sail, since that leg enters the mainland.
