Wushengguan, Military fortress in Wuhan, China

The stone fortress stands at the meeting point of the Yangtze and Han rivers, featuring defensive walls and observation towers along the waterways.

During the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, Wushengguan became a key battleground where revolutionary forces confronted Qing dynasty troops for 41 days.

The fortress contains multiple architectural elements from different Chinese dynasties, reflecting the evolution of military construction techniques through centuries.

The site opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in Mandarin, while information panels display text in both Chinese and English.

The fortress walls contain hidden chambers and underground passages that soldiers used for swift deployment and surprise attacks during sieges.
