Hulishan Fort, Coastal military fortress in Xiamen, China.

The stone fortress spans 70,000 square meters along the southern coast of Xiamen Island, featuring granite walls, barracks, tunnels, and ammunition depots.

Construction of the fortress took place between 1894 and 1896 during the Qing Dynasty as part of China's military modernization initiative against foreign threats.

The Rongguang Museum within the fortress displays an extensive collection of historical weapons, including cannons from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Visitors can access the fortress daily from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with admission priced at 25 yuan and free entry for children under 1.2 meters.

The fortress houses a 280mm Krupp cannon from 1886, measuring 13 meters in length and recognized as the world's oldest existing coastal artillery.
