Xipaotai Park

Yingkou West Fortress is located at the west end of Bohai Street in the west urban area of Yingkou City, on the left bank of the Daliao River estuary, 6 kilometers away from the urban area of Yingkou City. It is one of the earliest national defense projects in my country in modern times. West Fort was formerly known as Yingkou Fort, because it is located at the western end of the urban area, so it is called West Fort. Now it is a red tourist base. Yingkou West Fort was built in the eighth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1882), and was an important coastal defense project built in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty. Today's West Fort site has an iron cannon, 2.9 meters long and 20 cm in diameter. Although the west fort has been eroded by wind and rain for more than 100 years, its overall appearance is basically preserved. In recent years, work has been carried out successively to renovate the walls, clean up large and small forts, widen the guard river, and build a damp gate, and restore the imitation Qing barracks and the main camp gate at the former barracks site. It also provides a venue for holding exhibitions. In 1987, actor Liu Xiaoqing and others used Yingkou West Fort as a location to shoot the movie "The Great Qing Artillery Team".
