AB - This research is designed to study the development, practice and consequences of battlefield tourism in Kinmen island, which is a border, serving as a prime example of newly formed battlefield tours in East Asia. Kinmen island was the site of the final battlefield in the Chinese Civil War, which divided into mainland China and Taiwan, so that it became the very frontline of the Cold War-division. During the Cold War, this island became the battlefield of artillery and psychological warfare. With the end of the Cold War, tourism incorporating the experiences of battlefield and border has been started in this island. This tourism targets two groups; one is those who have a nostalgia among Taiwan; and the other is those who come from the mainland. This paper tries to analyse the dynamics of tourism through the interactions of the tourists and locals, the difference in the tourist’s gazes and the behavior between the two groups, and the consequences of the battlefield tourism in Kinmen for the corresponding tourism in Xiamen, as a counterpart of Kinmen in the Cold War. The border-cum battlefield tourism in Kinmen initially began with the Cold War landscape, but slowly developed into a more complex destination combining cultural resources, and finally, showing the sustainability of the battlefield tourism resulting from the growth of tourists.
