The Beihai Tunnel (Chinese: 北海坑道; pinyin: Běihǎi Kēngdào) is a tunnel in Dongyin Township, Lienchiang County, Taiwan.
The armed forces started the construction of the tunnel in 1968 and completed it in 1970. It was constructed by hand and dynamite.[1] In February 2001, the tunnel was handed over to Matsu National Scenic Area Administration which then renovated it. The tunnel was opened to the public in August 2001.[2]
