The '''Mount Taiwu''' ({{zh|t=太武山|p=Tàiwǔ Shān}}) is a mountain in Jinhu Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan. It is the highest peak in Kinmen.

==History== The trails on the mountain used to be the walking path for traders carrying foods in the old days, such as tofu and vegetables, thus the trail was named Tofu Ancient Trail ({{zh|c=豆腐古道}}). Starting 2017, the Kinmen County Government started to promote the hiking trail for tourism.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2018/10/27/2003703144|date=27 October 2018|title=Kinmen touts ancient hiking trail to Taiwu|publisher=Taipei Times|accessdate=1 November 2018}}</ref>
