The whole Hu Lishan battery is actually a park, and the battery itself is a highlight of it, which is the product of China's Westernization Movement. Because of its special geographical location, close to Xiamen University and surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is called "the gateway of Bamin, the lock key of Tiannan", that is to say, in order to control this lock in southern Fujian, Hu Lishan battery is the key to this lock. For the first time in history, it set a record for sinking a Japanese ship in China.
Hu Lishan Castle, built in the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, has a very unique style. It is divided into three areas: the battlefield, the barracks and the back hill. Once inside the fortress, you can also see many armories, ammunition depots and official halls. The structure of the battery is a half-bunker and half-wall, with European style, and the architectural charm of China in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which took more than two years to complete. Not only that, there is also a 280 mm coastal gun made by Krupp Arsenal in Germany, which is also the largest coastal gun in the world.
As a battery, firmness is the most basic condition. It is made of granite, black camphor tree juice, Carboniferous mixed with sediment and glutinous rice. It works in an old way, but it is very strong.
In addition to understanding the historical origin of the fort, the sunset scenery here is also beautiful. You stand on high, watching the sunset against the sea breeze. At that time, the sun shone on the sea, emitting layers of brilliance. The Twin Towers stand in its lower right corner, and the sky and the sky are the same color, which has the feeling that "the sunset shines with the Twin Towers and the autumn water is the same color".
