Hulishan Fortress is located in the prominent part of the southeast Cape of Xiamen City, Fujian Province. It is adjacent to Xiamen University Park and surrounded by the sea on three sides. It was built in 1894. It was the product of the Chinese Westernization Movement. It was divided into battlefield, barracks, back mountainous areas, built with dark paths, fences, ammunition storehouses, military halls, hilltop observation halls and so on. The structure of the fortress is semi-castle type and semi-castle type. It is made of granite strips and rammed with Cinnamomum camphor sap, Carboniferous and glutinous rice mixed with sediment. It is unusually strong. The gates, walls, towers, moats, barracks and forts made of high-quality granite remain intact. They are precious historical sites for studying the military history of coastal defence, the history of Westernization Movement and the technology of military construction in China. The whole building has the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Europe and China. It was called the "Eight Fujian Gate, Tiannan Key" in history. The most famous one on the Huli Mountains fort is a 28-year-old (280 mm) Khopper artillery purchased from the German Khopper Armament Factory in 1893. It is well preserved up to now. Its effective range can reach 16,000 meters (the longest range is 19760 meters). It took 100,000 silver to purchase it (including shipping and insurance premiums). It has been identified as "the oldest and largest 19th century coastal artillery on the existing site in the world" and won the greatest prize in Guinness of the world. Good project award. In 1958, the Western Fort Cannon was demolished. There are only one Eastern Fort Cannon and two Protective Cannons left.

    It is worth playing. At 10 am, there is a "Qing Dynasty Island Military Camp Training Scenery Show". After the performance, you can take pictures with the actors for free. From the Hulishan Fort, you can see the twin towers of Xiamen landmark Strait Building, with a wide view.

    Old-fashioned attractions should belong to the type of patriotic education base. The scenery is also OK. Walk past the trail, enter the East Gate, and then come out of the main entrance. Go in turn. If you enter and exit the main entrance, it is a pity not to take the trail to see the scenery. It is also a friendly reminder.

    At first I thought it was only a little big, and I could walk in an hour, but it actually took me for a long time. There was a performance at the top of the mountain at ten o'clock. After watching the performance, there were children's programs and 4D movies. Tickets are not too expensive, it is worth a visit.

    Very interesting point, teaching and fun. The environment is very good and the greening is very rich. You can also see the Golden Gate Islands. The theme is also very distinctive, and there are small movies. When I was about to leave, I also encountered a live performance and demonstrated the ancient firing process. I was pleasantly surprised.

    The environment is very good, suitable for taking pictures, very educational, very close to the Xiamen Twin Towers. Seniors over 65 years old are free of tickets, ordinary people go to Douyin or Meituan to buy 23 yuan, if you buy on the spot, it will cost 25 yuan. Xiamen Tourism Annual Card does not need money.
