Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Dadeng Subdistrict" in English language version.
Kinmen is actually an archipelago of 15 islands. Three of them, however, are controlled by China, and only two of the Taiwan-controlled islands - Kinmen main island and Hsiao Kinmen (Little Kinmen) - are open to tourism.
C. Disposition of Communist Troops and Weapons Chinese Nationalist sources report that fourteen 120 and 155mm Communist guns have been active from Tateng and Amoy Islands, and claim to have destroyed five of these in air attacks since 6 September.{...}B. The 3 September Bombardment On 3 September Communist artillery, located near Amoy and on the Tateng Islands, shelled the northern and western sides of Big Quemoy, saturated Little Quemoy, and hit at Nationalist naval vessels at anchor along the west coast of Big Quemoy and between the Quemoys and Tatan Islands. Six thousand rounds of 120mm and 155mm artillery were poured in during a five-hour barrage. The shelling was unexpectedly accurate and later reports say that the Communist pinpointing was due to Communist agents on Quemoy who directed the Communist shelling. Two Americans of the US Military Assistance Advisory Group were killed in the shelling; Nationalist personnel losses have not been revealed. Several small Nationalist naval vessels were damaged; at least one was sunk. C. American and Nationalist Reaction Reaction was quick. By the morning of 5 September, three carriers, a cruiser and three destroyer divisions of the Seventh Fleet were standing by, patrolling the waters in the Formosa Straits at a distance of several miles from Quemoy; and Nationalist naval and air forces began to strike at targets on the mainland coast in an effort to knock out enemy artillery and disrupt any Communist attempt to assemble an invasion force. D. Results of Nationalist Raids The Nationalists report that a 76-plane air strike on 7 September destroyed 5 of 14 Communist artillery positions, and that only three Nationalist planes were damaged. The Taipei press has made large claims, probably exaggerated, of great fires at storage points, hundred of junks sunk, and blows at Communist troop concentrations. Peiping Radio admits that at least 60 persons in the vicinity of Amoy have been killed by Nationalist bombing. Mainland artillery is said to have shot down at least six Nationalist planes and damaged about 25 others. Peiping on 8 September declared that "anger is aroused" among the Fukien populace.
2. {redacted}ChiComs are building a causeway to link Tateng Island, the Communist territory nearest Quemoy, to mainland. 3.{redacted}several thousand troops (recently arrived in Amoy from Shanghai) will be garrisoned on Tateng after the causeway is completed (in next two months).
After a lull of several weeks in artillery duels in the Quemoy area, Chinese Nationalist 155mm howitzers on 28 November fired 240 rounds at a causeway which the Chinese Communists are constructing between the mainland and Tateng Island, four to five miles north of Quemoy. Communist artillery responded with 680 rounds. No major damage was reported. {redacted} 2. The Chinese Communists began constructing the 6,300-foot causeway to Tateng apparently in early November. Such a link with the mainland would facilitate supply of Communist military positions on Tateng. Communist artillery now on the island is believed to include only 76mm guns, but 122mm or larger weapons could take any point on Quemoy under fire.{redacted}
2. The 11 Artillery Regiment is at Ningpo. The 12 and 13 Artillery Regiments moved to South Fukien, and are in Tateng (118-20, 24-35) and Hsiaoteng (118-25, 24-35) Islands and Amoy respectively.

Located in the southeast waters of Xiamen's Xiang'an District, the Dadeng Isles are comprised of three islands—Dadeng, Xiaodeng and Jiaoyu. Known as the Three-Hero Islands, they cover an area of 13.2 square kilometers, with a population of approximately 20,000 people.
Xiamen, a prosperous port city on China's southeast coast across a strait from Taiwan, plans to double the size of a 13-sq.-km island called Dadeng to build a second airport. While Chinese media say the airport is due to be operational by 2020, local officials said in February that the central government has yet to approve it. The photo on the left shows layers of black bags of sand that form a cofferdam—an enclosure built within a body of water to allow the enclosed area to be pumped out.

The Kinmen Defense Command (KDC) unveiled a cenotaph on Tuesday to commemorate the late Lieutenant Colonel Frank Lynn of the US, who died in a Chinese artillery bombardment on Sept. 3, 1954, on Kinmen.{...}It was placed next to the cenotaph of Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Medendorp, which was installed at the wharf in August 1992. Medendorp was killed in the same bombing.
China's State Council designated Xiaodeng and two neighboring islands — Da Deng and Jiao Yu — a "Hero's Triangle" in 1958, owing to their front-line positions. Less than two miles separate Xiaodeng from Kinmen. That's considerably less than the 90 miles from Cuba to Key West, and even narrower than the 2.5-mile Korean DMZ. The peoples of Taiwan and Fujian province, to which Xiaodeng belongs, may have been politically estranged for over half a century, but they share a culture, a cuisine and the Hokkien group of dialects.
