Diaoyu Fortress, Military fortress in Hechuan District, China.
The fortress extends over 2.94 square kilometers on Diaoyu Mountain, surrounded by three rivers: the Jialing, Fu, and Qu at 300 meters elevation.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the fortress withstood over 200 battles against Mongol forces between 1243 and 1279, including the siege where Mongke Khan perished.
The fortress grounds contain temples, ancestral halls, Buddha statues, and ancient stone inscriptions that showcase the military and spiritual traditions of medieval China.
Visitors can access the site daily from 8:30 AM to 5 PM with an entrance fee of 30 yuan, reaching it through the Yu Wu Expressway from Chongqing.
The naval wharf, drilling grounds, watch towers, and fortifications with built-in cannons demonstrate advanced military engineering from the 13th century.
