Built in the Ching Dynasty, Gongzi Liao Fort was located at the northeast of Keelung city. This old fort is as significant as the other forts considering its history or its architecture. In fact, after World War II, it was still being used as a military facility by the ROC government till a few year ago.
This fort in Xinyi District was ranked to be provincial historic site. During the colonial period, the fort was renovated and garrison was placed here after Taiwan was returned to China. Then it was abandoned for a long time.

Fortunately, the remains of the fort are well-kept. Walking up to the hill on the fort, one will see the scenes of the Hoping Island, Badouzi, and Keeling Islet right in front of the hill. Walking straight ahead, you will see a complete fort for you to imagine all the wars occurred here. |
