Siyu East Fort, Military fort in Xiyu Township, Taiwan
The stone fortification stretches across 7 hectares of land, featuring a U-shaped structure that faces directly toward the sea with high defensive walls.
Built in 1889 under Qing Dynasty governor Liu Mingchuan's orders, the fort formed part of a defensive network established after the Sino-French War.
The fort exhibits traditional Chinese military architecture through its gray stone construction methods and strategic placement along the Penghu coastline.
Guided tours through the fort start at the main entrance, with informative panels explaining the military significance of each structural element.
Three restored British-made Armstrong cannons, installed in 2008, demonstrate the technological capabilities of late 19th-century coastal defense systems.
