Snap' Description
Step back into late 19th-century military history at Huli Mountain Cannon Fort (Hulishan Fortress). Built in 1894 during the Qing Dynasty to defend Xiamen Harbor against foreign naval invasion, this impressive coastal stronghold combines granite fortification ramparts with European military architecture. The star attraction is the original 280mm Krupp coastal gun imported from Germany, verified by the Guinness World Records as the world's oldest and largest 19th-century coastal cannon remaining in its original placement.
