Hobe Fort, Military fort in Tamsui, Taiwan
The rectangular defensive structure contains embankments, moats, gates, ammunition slopes, gun platforms, and underground tunnels spanning across 8 hectares of land.
Built in 1886 under Taiwan Governor Liu Ming-chuan, the fort received Armstrong cannons from Britain and Krupp artillery from Germany to defend Tamsui Harbor.
The entrance gate displays the Chinese inscription 'Key to the North Gate' written by Governor Liu Ming-chuan, representing late Qing Dynasty military architecture.
Visitors can access the fort daily between 9:00 and 16:00 by taking the Tamsui MRT line and transferring to buses 857, 880, or Red 26.
The fort maintains its original construction materials and design elements, including ammunition storage chambers, protective walls, and military defense positions from 1886.
