四方炮台

The Sifang Battery stands as a military structure on the banks of the Pearl River, constructed with thick stone walls and defensive positions.

Built during the Qing Dynasty, this fortification formed part of the coastal defense network protecting Guangzhou from maritime threats in the nineteenth century.

The battery represents traditional Chinese military engineering principles, incorporating elements of both defensive functionality and architectural symmetry.

Visitors can reach the fortification by taking the Guangzhou Metro Line 1 to Huangsha Station and walking east along the riverside path.

The structure features multiple cannon platforms positioned at different elevations, allowing defenders to engage naval vessels at various distances on the Pearl River.
