Sheliao East Fort, Artillery battery on coastal hill in Keelung, Taiwan.
The stone fortification stands on elevated ground with strategic positioning that allows monitoring of surrounding waters and Keelung harbor approaches.
Built during the late Qing Dynasty, the fort underwent significant modifications under Japanese control between 1895 and 1945, with final restoration in 1924.
The military structure demonstrates architectural elements from multiple colonial periods, reflecting Spanish, Dutch, and Japanese influences in Taiwan's defense history.
The fort remains open to visitors throughout the year, with local transportation services connecting the site to central Keelung and surrounding areas.
Natural vegetation now covers sections of the fortification, creating a contrast between military architecture and the tropical flora of Taiwan's northern coast.
