Haimen Tianxian Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Haimen Tianjian was built to prevent the invasion of the British during the Sino-British Opium War in 1840. After it was destroyed in the Sino-French War in 1884, it was rebuilt by Liu Mingchuan (the first governor of Taiwan). Another name for "Ershawan Fort". Haimen natural danger is adapted to local conditions. The east and north forts guard the outer sea and the inner sea gate respectively. They are built on the higher sea-facing hills, and the lower part is the camp area on the back of the sea. Cannons, ammunition depots, etc. can be seen in the fort area; while in the camp area, there are several sections of walls and the camp gate with the four characters "Haimen Tianxian" inscribed.

Haimen Tianxian Reviews: Insider Insights and Visitor Experiences

I love the cultural heritage of the war.
It is full of Japanese atmosphere and worth visiting!
The quiet trail, the steps still have thick moss, the three cannons on the turret quietly facing the port of Keelung, defending against the invasion of foreign enemies.
In fact, I don't feel such a risk here, but it is a quieter place, and I can feel some traces of history.
Here, the trees cover the sky, condescending, can be attacked or guarded, so "Haimen Tianxian" is a false name. At the foot of Haimen Tianxian Mountain, there are still two tombs, the national hero curtain and the tomb of the French soldiers, which is the place where the two sides fought to death. Today, it has been connected to Zhongzheng Park and Haimen Tianxian as a tourist area.
