Tapung Old Fort, Mountain fort in Jianshi, Taiwan

The Tapung Old Fort stands at an elevation of 1913 meters with a quadrangular structure measuring 8 meters in length and 6 meters in width.

The Japanese military constructed this fortification in 1912 following intense battles with local Atayal tribes for control of Mount Lidong.

The fort represents the complex relationship between Japanese colonial forces and Taiwan's Atayal indigenous people during the early twentieth century.

Visitors need to follow a three-hour hiking trail from Lidongshan Shanzhuang, requiring advance preparation with food and water supplies.

The fort's walls contain 31 strategically placed loopholes and include eastern and western bastions built with armored concrete and clay materials.
