Magong Old City Wall, Military wall in Magong, Taiwan.

The Magong Old City Wall extends over 2,762 meters and contains 570 merlons along its perimeter, with six gates positioned at strategic locations.

The construction of the defensive structure began in 1887 and reached completion in 1889 under Qing Dynasty administration to protect against maritime threats.

The preserved sections of the wall demonstrate traditional Chinese military architectural methods from the late nineteenth century, reflecting regional defense priorities.

The remaining sections of the wall structure provide multiple access points through restored gates, connecting different areas of modern Magong city.

The western gate maintains its original design specifications from the Qing Dynasty period, while other sections underwent modifications during Japanese occupation.
