Siyu West Fort, Military fort in Xiyu Township, Taiwan
The fortification stands on basalt terrain with solid walls and features four artillery positions positioned strategically within its defensive perimeter.
Constructed during the 17th century by Ming Dynasty general Chen Guoxuan, the fort served as a defense point against Qing dynasty naval forces.
The fort represents traditional Chinese military engineering with its coral stone construction and architectural elements adapted to local materials.
Visitors can reach the fort via the Penghu County Bus Blue Line, with connections available from both Penghu Airport and Magong Harbor.
Three British-manufactured Armstrong guns, installed in 2011 following a NT$20 million investment, enhance the military display at the fortification.
