Dapeng Fortress

The Dapeng Fortress extends over 110,000 square meters with granite walls measuring 6 meters high and 1,200 meters in length, featuring 654 battlements.

Built in 1394 during the Ming Dynasty, the fortress served as a primary military stronghold against Portuguese forces, pirates, and British colonial advances through the Qing period.

The fortress contains multiple museums displaying military artifacts, traditional residences, and exhibits that document the evolution of Chinese coastal defense systems.

Visitors can obtain free entry tickets at the main gate by presenting identification documents to access the museums and historical buildings within the complex.
