The park is located at No. 20 Haibin Road, Jinping District, Shantou City. It is the main attraction of the qilu Fort. The Fort was built by the late Qing government to resist aggression. Directly in front of the entrance to the Lijiang River, friends who like history are worth visiting.

On the second day of Shantou, after dinner, I went to the promenade and went to the stone fort park. It should be a very historical place, but I can't enter the fort at night, so I can only walk around the wall. But it was the evening, the blues moment was still quite beautiful, and several cats were found, with little courage. Finally, I sat on the bench at the entrance of the park for a while and blew the sea breeze to wipe out the packed desserts.

A small park opposite the sea view promenade, many locals enjoy the cool at the door, the fort is free to enter, and you need to wear a mask to measure the temperature. This is the rugged fort built at the end of Qing Dynasty, which is circular, with a grass inside and a river outside. More distinctive is the corrugated stone steps, used to push the gun to the stage. There are also many ventilation towers on the table.

A free attraction, the fort is still not small, stay for a while, learn some history, you can

In the coastal defense culture, the rugged fort belongs to Shantou's most famous ancient fort. Shiba Fort Park is a business card in Shantou Central City. After Shantou opened, the economic and trade volume increased rapidly. At that time, the general army of Chaozhou Town believed that "all countries have foreign banks in this trade, department stores, and thousands of households are contiguous. If there is dredging, the province is shaking", and then the sea defense was loose. On the grounds of "neighborhood is not clean" and "tide sea strict defense", please clear the government to allocate funds to build a qilu fort. The qilu Fort was built in the 13th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1874), took five years, and was completed in Guangxu in five years (1879), located in the southeast of Shantou, the sea, is a circular castle building, is the representative work of Guangdong East Coast defense facilities in the end of Qing Dynasty.

The qilu Fort echoes the fort on Su'an Mountain across the bank, blocking the entrance and exit of Shantou Bay, and the location is dangerous. It is the main sea defense building in the eastern Guangdong region of the Qing Dynasty. The construction of the rugged fort reflects the local folk wisdom, its main material is shell ash sand, with cooked and mashed glutinous rice and red syrup, built into the wall is not only hard, but also tough enough to withstand a certain degree of shelling. The gates and artillery alleys are built with granite blocks of specifications, so they are called "stone forts" by the people. The fort is divided into two floors, each with 18 artillery positions and several gun eyes. The ground floor of the artillery alley is wide and about 300 meters long. It is a camp where shells and artillery are stationed. The outer walls of the gun alley have a gun eye, and the inner wall leads to a small gunpowder bank, which runs through the entire artillery barracks, which is the space for artillery activities. The stone barracks thus form a complete and solid military installation of sea defense, which is clinging to this land in eastern Guangdong. The Shantou Stone Fort has been built for more than 100 years, and the whole building has not found cracks and collapses. It still stands on the edge of the eastern Guangdong coastline, leaving the wind and rain to engrave a trace of history on its body, witnessing a series of changes, witnessing the vicissitudes of the years and different faces of different times.
