Chiwan Left Fort, Military fortification in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China.
The granite and brick structure contains multiple gun emplacements positioned along the walls facing Shenzhen Bay for coastal defense purposes.
Built in 1717 on Yingzui Hill, the fort served as a strategic military post during the First Opium War under the command of Lin Zexu.
The fort represents a significant period of Chinese coastal defense architecture, demonstrating military engineering methods from the Qing Dynasty period.
Visitors can access viewing points throughout the fortification that provide extensive views across Shenzhen Bay and the surrounding metropolitan landscape.
The Japanese forces modified the original structure during World War II, adding new military elements that remain visible in the current architecture.
