Jinguitou Fortress, Coastal fortress in Magong, Taiwan
The rectangular fortress features two arched entrances with inner and outer walls, constructed using traditional military architecture of the Qing Dynasty period.
Vice Brigadier General Wu Qixun established the fortress in 1864 as part of the coastal defense system, which later endured damage during the Sino-French War.
The structure represents the evolution of Taiwan's military architecture, incorporating elements from both Chinese and Western fortification designs.
Visitors can explore the fortress from Wednesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with access to barracks and ammunition depots.
The fortress contains three administrative offices and multiple military structures that showcase the defensive strategies employed in nineteenth-century Taiwan.
