Sijiaoting Fort, Military heritage site in Ruifang District, Taiwan.

The fort complex contains military structures including barracks, ammunition storage facilities, and gun platforms positioned along the coastline between Keelung and Ruifang District.

Built during the late Qing Dynasty and enhanced in the Japanese colonial period, the fort served as a strategic defense point along Taiwan's northeastern shore.

The fort represents the intersection of multiple architectural influences, combining elements from both Chinese and Japanese military engineering traditions.

Visitors can reach the fort via buses F801 and F803 from Ruifang, followed by a 40-minute hike on a trail that starts near Wanxing Temple.

Two historic railway tunnels from 1918 stand near the fort, with brick facades covered by banyan tree roots creating an intersection of nature and infrastructure.
