About this place

The Fort was completed in 1896 as part of the coastal defense of Xiamen. Before entering the fort you should take advantage of a spectacular view of the ocean and coast line. The whole fort has a park-like feel to it with beautiful landscaping and flowers.  The Fort houses an enormous, well preserved German-built cannon which was one of the largest cannons ever built.  The 208 millimeter caliber, 14 meter long cannon had a range of about 10,000 meters.  As well, the Fort has interesting exhibits of distinctively shaped and patterned stones; many types of smaller caliber cannons; swords and guns.
