Baimiweng Fort, Military fort in Zhongshan District, Keelung, Taiwan
The rectangular sea-facing structure includes three main sections: a barbette for artillery, a control center, and an observation station for maritime monitoring.
Built during colonial rule in Taiwan, the fort changed hands multiple times, serving Dutch, Spanish, and French forces during the Sino-French War.
The fort represents Taiwan's complex military heritage, now designated as a county-level monument within the cultural assets of Keelung City.
Visitors can reach the fort via National Freeway 3 to Keejing Interchange, then following Provincial Highway 2F to the entrance.
The fort features three large chimneys from a nearby power plant, which local stories describe as the pipes of mythical giants.
