The Jiugong Tunnel (Chinese: 九宮坑道; pinyin: Jiǔgōng Kēngdào) or Siwei Tunnel (Chinese: 四維坑道; pinyin: Sìwéi Kēngdào) is a tunnel in Lieyu Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan. It was used during the 1958 Second Taiwan Strait Crisis, when the island was heavily shelled by People's Republic of China. Supplies and equipment from larger ocean going ships were brought in to shore by smaller vessels. They were unloaded in the tunnel safe from the bombardments.
