Magong Old City Wall, Military wall in Magong, Taiwan.
Magong Old City Wall is a defensive fortification that runs through the city with several preserved sections still visible today. The structure features multiple gates and wall segments that connect different areas of the modern urban landscape.
The fortification was built during the late Qing Dynasty period to protect the coastal city from maritime threats. During the subsequent occupation that followed, it underwent modifications while certain original sections remained intact.
The preserved sections of the wall demonstrate traditional Chinese military architectural methods from the late nineteenth century, reflecting regional defense priorities.
The wall sections are accessible throughout the city and can be explored on foot at your own pace. Comfortable shoes are recommended as you walk between the different segments scattered across the urban area.
One of the preserved gates retains its original design from the Qing Dynasty period and still shows the craftsmanship of that era. This gate offers a rare view of the unchanged architecture, while most other areas were modified later.
